if you don't sketch you don't get hired period.

I always do it by paper first.
Most likely because I'm demented when it comes to drawing with a mouse.

At Art Center, every instructer I've ever had spends a few minutes every class meeting ragging on the computer, talking about how much they suck, and how much we need to use our hands now and then.
It bothers me so much (mostly because I'm tired of hearing it) but they are indeed correct, those old school professors.

(Jun 21 05, 18:27)Ever thought why they are professors and not professionals?
It's just like reading a critic than reading a book...
each process is important, but really it's how fast and creative you can come up with polished ideas and convey them in a way that both yourself and the client can understand... vis comm is vis comm...

(Jun 21 05, 18:35)professional as a designer? or running some design studio? there's a big difference

I have always avoided sketches because I suck at it, but lately I have been forcing myself to do it. I must say, it REALLY helps focus.
Sometime I sketch elements then cut them out and place them around a page...scary eh?

paul rand, armin hoffman, gunter rambow, etc etc etc...
graphic masters often teach...
"those who can not do teach" is not always true - especially in graphic design
- emokid0
did i mention i am a teacher?

pocho, i suck at drawing too... but sketching isnt about making things look pretty.. its about moving elements around on a page and finding what composition works best... that's why its so important
- anzelina0
yes, they are v. good designers. went to yale, et cetera.
also amazing teachers.

My professors were all former art directors and some still ran freelance on the side. Sketching is instantaneous creation. It is getting an idea down immediately. I don't want to be in a meeting have an idea, but say hold on I have to fire up Photoshop to show you what I'm talking about.

if my life depended on drawing a straight line, i would have died a brutal death a few years ago.
