It would be interesting to see an entire project of yours from ideation to final product. I think it would also bring a lot of value to viewers as well

2D thumbnailing really allows ideas to flow freely, and you realise at the end of it that you have created so many potentially strong ideas!

I love the use of the biro, it took me back to being berated by a lecturer when I used one for quickly getting simple ideas down on paper, advice I chose to ignore, I still to this day, use one for design scribbles, simple, quick, efficient, adequate for the context.

This method has very broad applications not only in product design but other applications as well. I forgot how liberating it is when your not bound to produce a finished item. Thanks for reminding me of the process.

Great video mate. Do you do this step before or after the ‘gathering inspiration’ stage of looking at other designs?

A video on different wood types would be cool or even various industrial materials. concrete, steal, plywood etc.
