The sketch is the fastest way to visually note down an idea.

The sketch is the visual language of a concept. Since Leonardo, sketching has been an integral part of the research, because it allows us to visually note the future, complexes, structures and information architectures, all things that are central to research.

The first step is how to draw a line so that it indicates clearly enough what is meant and yet leaves enough freedom for the viewer to clearly recognize what is sketched.

With simple 10 rules, sketching can be easily explained and can then be quickly used in communication during the research process.

The storyboard is the visual draft of a story. From the conception of a story to the notation language for stage directions for the film, we will work on everything theoretically and apply it sketchily in practice.

This way, each research project can be sketched out in a storyboard during the course of the day and offers the possibility of visual analysis of the research project.

This workshop provides you with ten rules for quick sketching, the language of the storyboard (sketchanddraw.com).

By bringing along your own research project, to which the mediated can be applied, you will be able to perform a visual analysis and outlined story of your own research.
