They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, and anyone who’s ever had to map out a work flow or describe a new idea knows how true that is. People tend to think visually, and no matter how skilled we are with words, sometimes the only way to get a point across is with a visual explanation.
Writer/designer Don Moyer understands this. His terrific Napkin Sketch Workbook proves that you don’t have to be a great artist to create a visual explanation that conveys a lot of information in the simplest possible way.
Getting down to basics with stick figures, boxes, and arrows, Moyer leads the reader through an easy-to-follow course that covers style, structure, how to show timelines, connections and comparisons, and just about anything else you might need to convey in a sketch.
