Want to get better in business? Learn how to draw.
There’s no faster, cheaper prototype in the world than a sketch on a sheet of paper. What’s unclear in words is suddenly crystal clear in a sketch, and you—and your team—can tackle problems in entirely new ways. Play around with ideas. Document your process. Think on paper. Visual thinking brings a whole new power to work.
Think you can’t draw? Don’t worry! The simplest sketches are the most effective at communication and problem solving, so you can begin drawing in less time than your average coffee break. Learn more, and purchase!

Gabe — my partner at www.carboniq.com — and I were walking along and we saw yet another logo comprised of a grid of dots with a couple of the dots smooshing into each other.They look to be the new swoosh, which is what drew me to this article. Anyow, at the risk of getting slammed with a zillion logos, I’d love it if folks sent examples… sapient is the only example I could find off the top of my head, even though their dots are a bit squarish. So mail me!
