The back of the napkin
July 21, 2008 by liping
I found myself interested in the visualization of things (this might be partly owing to some bad/boring presentations I have been to) and bumped into this book. It’s really interesting and mind-opening.
The process of visual thinking consists of look, see, imagine and show.
- Looking = collecting and screening
- Seeing = selecting and clumping
- Imagining = seeing what isn’t there
- Showing = making it all clear
Four automatic looking tasks: orientation, position, identification and direction
Four rules to make thinks look better:
- collect everything you can
- lay it all out where you can look at it
- establish fundamental coordinates
- practice visual triage
