Great Designs Start with a Sketch

Industry News 5th August 2020

PHd sketching post

In the world of graphic design, where creativity knows no bounds and ideas flow freely, there’s a common thread that connects all great designs: they start with a sketch! It doesn’t matter if that initial spark of genius is hastily scribbled on a post-it note or less than elegantly drafted on a paper towel – what truly matters is capturing that idea before it slips away into the abyss of forgotten thoughts. Here at PHd Design, we firmly believe that sketching is the foundation upon which remarkable designs are built, and we’re here to explain why…

 

From Brain to Pencil

Imagine your mind is a vast landscape of creativity, teeming with ideas and concepts waiting to be brought to life. Sketching serves as the direct line from your brain to the pencil, translating abstract thoughts into tangible forms. It’s the first step in turning an idea into reality, allowing you to visually communicate your vision.

The Key to Idea Preservation

In the fast-paced world of design, ideas come and go like shooting stars. A brilliant concept can strike at any moment, and if it’s not sketched out promptly, it may be lost forever. This is why our design philosophy at PHd Design revolves around the principle of capturing ideas as they emerge. Whether it’s a client’s vision or one of our own, we know that the sketching process is vital for preserving the essence of an idea.

Validation and Refinement

Sketches serve as a designer’s first draft, and a rough blueprint of what’s to come. They allow us to quickly validate or condemn various ideas, as reality often has a way of altering our initial perceptions. What looks incredible in our minds may not translate as well in the physical world, and vice versa. Sketching provides us with a reality check, helping us refine and enhance our concepts more effectively.

It’s important to remember that great designs don’t happen by accident. They start with a sketch—an embodiment of an idea that deserves to be explored and developed. The act of sketching is the bridge between imagination and reality, and it’s a skill we hold in high regard at PHd Design. If you’re looking to embark on a design journey that begins with a stroke of a pencil, we’re here to bring your visions to life.
