Writing

Learning Studio . Skills Bootcamp #1 . Session 4

Welcome back to Bootcamp and to Session #4!

A key part of sketching like a design thinker is writing like one too. Today, we’ll start to develop our own DT-style “personal font” that is visually clear, confident, and communicative.

Recommended Supplies:

• Mechanical Pencil

• Sharpie ( fine point )

• Paper ( standard LTR / A4 )

Worksheets

If you feel you need a little extra support learning design-thinking-style letter and number forms, here are a couple worksheets you can print out and trace during the exercises.

• DT-Style Letters Worksheet (pdf)

• DT-Style Numbers & Punctuation Worksheet (pdf)

Session Notes:

You may notice background music during the practice exercise in this session. Based on feedback, I figured it was worth testing! Let me know what you think about the idea of background music during creative exercises!
