Challenge and selection 

 The most common tool of thinking « out of the box » is visualization , which is also the   simplest one , as for me . Designing your words and ideas into a structured scheme or   sketchy references provides more efficient discussion on a topic . Our society has   developed a large range of recognizable symbols , gestures and glyphs that are   common all over the world . It becomes clear when a designer chooses to draw his ideas   symbolically on a white board , or even show shapes&forms by gestures – we can   recognize length , sinuosity , structure in simple shapes , even color and spirit . I prefer   visualization as a main tool for planning because I am always bad at explaining , so I try   to simplify my thoughts to charts , tables and sketches . This allows my audience to   understand what the key elements are and how do they interact . 

 Application 

 To begin with , I always start my plan with a tag cloud – it is impossible to avoid words   and rough ideas on the first stage anyway . Then I keep on searching on references :   photos , maps , charts , icons , architectural plans , stock images , videos and so on . Once I   have become acquainted with them , I take a notepad and draw some parts , how I saw   them from my angle . This non - verbal way of thinking helps to improve logics and   relations among the elements . I also try to stay detached and look at that prototype   more soberly – if the scheme uses incomprehensible pictures , there are too many   arrows and points or a lack of them , I developed a habit to clear everything and start   from the very beginning – back to the words and references – as it ’s also stated in the   course . 

 When the idea has its shape , I am ready to present it to my audience or colleagues .   There surely may appear questions at the end of presentation , nonetheless they should   be related to further realization , not to the visualized sketch . Sometimes it is even more   profitable to draw the ideas together with our group , everyone brings his structure ,   photo refences . 

 Insight and approach 

 I always improve my skills at visualization and logic , the more projects I have , the more   experience I get . The best part of this method is how quicker a person grasps the   statement , instead of me trying to explain the topic in crooked words and terms . In   comparison with storytelling – it has some relative aspects with visualization , such a   logic and correlations , however it still may be not understood with several groups of   target audience while mind mapping and learning launch are even more complex .   Drawing circles , charts , arrows , straw men , faces , animals and other small things would   be way easier to explain to a company ’s boss , your peers and colleagues and even a   child . 

 However , there are some hints to approach this tool faster . It is very useful to speak   while you are sketching , because if you silently draw everything on the white board , the   majority will already have their own conjectures , ideas and the scheme may work just   not the way it was supposed to . Words should be 10 % only , however your active 

 presentation will inspire the audience and dispose them for some funny straw men and   crooked graphics .
