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![ba7a7dfc-d714-11e5-9b07-524b29a65ff8](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/170145/13728893/277877be-e927-11e5-9a5d-d77e3f03c53a.png)\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- diagrams\r\n- interfaces\r\n- posters\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, knowledge and coffee :rocket:\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\r\n---\r\n## Next date: Saturday April 9th 2016, 10:00 – 15:00 \r\n\r\n- (includes 1 hr lunchbreak)\r\n- **Location:** Hamburg, tba\r\n- 🎉 **Price: Nearly free!** 🎉 I will collect Eur 29 per person to pay for tools and materials.  \r\n  For those who cannot afford the 29 Euro, there will be at least 3 inclusivity tickets available at the price of 0 Eur.
