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
