It's about being a good thinker. \r\n\r\n—[Jason Santa Maria](http://v4.jasonsantamaria.com/articles/pretty-sketchy/)\r\n\r\n> The real goal of sketching is functional. It’s about generating ideas, solving problems, and communicating ideas more effectively with others.\r\n\r\n—[Jared Spool](https://articles.uie.com/why_sketching/)\r\n\r\nExpressing solutions in words is difficult. For the other person to understand what you mean is even more difficult. That is why we take screenshots when the interface is broken, instead of describing the bug in words.\r\n\r\nSketching is like taking screenshots of your thoughts:\r\n\r\n- *You* understand better what you mean\r\n- *Others* understand better what you mean\r\n- *Understanding* across people, roles and teams is reached much faster\r\n\r\nIn consequence, sketching safes a lot of time and avoids frustration. You might know The Project Cartoon:\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\n![ba7a7dfc-d714-11e5-9b07-524b29a65ff8](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/170145/13728893/277877be-e927-11e5-9a5d-d77e3f03c53a.png)\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nSketching can help a great deal to avoid situations like this. By clearing out misunderstandings *before* they are crafted into code, sketching can help to safe money, time and stress.\r\n\r\n\r\n## What exactly will I learn in this workshop?\r\n\r\nThe goal of this workshop is mostly to ease the fear of pen and paper and install sketching as a new communication default in the brain. That includes:\r\n\r\n- receiving and giving feedback\r\n- materials and tools\r\n- basic shapes\r\n- typography\r\n- icons\r\n- color and shade\r\n- sketchnotes\r\n- diagrams\r\n- user interfaces\r\n- sketchboards\r\n\r\n...all on a very basic, beginner-friendly level.\r\n\r\nI will show lots of real-life examples from the past years and explain how sketching has helped to communicate and ship.\r\n\r\n## What do I need to know, own or prepare to attend?\r\n\r\nNothing. You will be equipped with all necessary tools, materials and knowledge. \r\n\r\n## Who should attend?\r\n\r\nEverybody who is working in Software can attend to improve communication in their teams:\r\n\r\n- Developers\r\n- Designers\\*\r\n- Product Owners\r\n- Project Managers\r\n- Community Stewards\r\n- Event Organizers\r\n- Supporters\r\n\r\n\\* (Designers: depending on your level, this workshop might be more of a refresher of things you already know)\r\n\r\n---\r\n## Next date: *tba*\r\n\r\n- (includes 1 hr lunchbreak)\r\n- **Location:** Berln, tba\r\n- Price: not fixed yet, depends on many things, but will be very affordable!\r\n\r\n## How do I keep up to date?\r\n\r\nplease leave a comment here so I can notify you wenn tickets are availabe. if in doubt, a \"+1\" does it :)\r\n\r\nif you do not have a github account, either create one at [github.com/join](https://github.com/join) or or tell me via **fabian at superpursuitmo.de**\r\n\r\n\r\n**Please let me know if would you be interested in childcare while attending the workshop!**\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/filtercake/workshops/issues/comments/208192861","html_url":"https://github.com/filtercake/workshops/issues/2#issuecomment-208192861","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/filtercake/workshops/issues/2","id":208192861,"user":{"login":"cainvommars","id":185672,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/185672?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars","html_url":"https://github.com/cainvommars","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cainvommars/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-11T07:09:07Z","updated_at":"2016-04-11T07:09:07Z","body":"+1"}}
