Watch: How I Sketch - An Intro
The interactive sketching notation is an emerging visual language which intends to enable designers to tell more powerful stories of interaction. Through a few simple and standardized rules, what the user sees (drawn in greys and blacks) and does (drawn in red) are unified into a coherent sketching system. Although it may be used with paper, it works best with Adobe Illustrator.
- Less Documentation
Having merged flows, user stories, sketches and wireframes into one document, it is easier to maintain your work with the notation. - Visibility of User Actions
The notation has clear start and end paths showing user actions explicitly in red. Don't just show the UI, but tell a story. - Faster Idea Generation
The notation helps you cut corners as much as possible with the benefit of speed. Don't worry about too much detail in the beginning. - Highly Exploratory
The notation relies on large workspaces with room for multiple A/B/C ideas. Don't get locked into the first idea that comes to mind.
