Back of the Napkin II

What can possibly be more useful that a visual planning matrix?

This is from Dan Roam's The Back of a Napkin, and it is an

elegant choice codex for picking an approach to a problem.

I'm finding this approach useful in tackling some of my design issues.

For example, determining why it was more challenging to visually

represent that "Christmas is Art" than "All Participants are Artists."

Back of the Napkin I

I've been reading Dan Roam's The Back of the Napkin

that has basic problem solving and project design ideas

that can easily extend beyond business to art and science

The book starts with basics on Looking and Seeing.

The idea is to take in large amounts of information

and filter, organize, categorize  to the essential bits.

The next steps are to Imagine and Show, expanding on the

information to make the previously unseen visible.

The steps provided are intuitive and well organized in a
manner that can be quickly applied to many types of projects.
This book is a winner!
