Video: How to Turn Thoughts into Sketches, with Dave Gray
One of the fundamental communication skills everyone needs to have is the ability to turn thoughts into sketches. But where do you go to learn how to do that?
Look no further than the video of this webinar recorded at BBP Online on Sept. 26, 2008, where my friend and visual thinking expert Dave Gray of xPlane shows you the visual fundamentals you need to know to start illustrating your ideas.

Thanks it was good.
– Was simple enough to understand
– Done it such away that you could retain the data
– Gave sufficient tools so one could do it themselves
– Gave a sense that what was presented would be
worth doing.

Very good presentation. Has me thinking about visual alternatives (again).
Question: How do you visualize abstract thoughts like “honesty” or “philanthropic” or “deceitful?”
I look forward to more of these.

This is a great presentation! It really helped me understand a few key elements of visual communications. Plus I got some really great drawing tips for illustrating the different types of ideas I need to convey. It starts a bit slow, so if you’re looking at it keep watching… it really picks up towards the middle.
Dave Gray also has a new book out on using games to train and reinforce. It’s an interesting read as well, though the topic didn’t resonate with me like this one. I’d buy a book dedicated to this topic if he wrote one!
