In todays class, we were asked to bring in pens and pencils of all types as we are sketching out our designs for our project.

Using pen and paper, its positive prior to any digital developments, there are many benefits to using pen and paper, such as:
In UX/UI design, pen and paper are used primarily to rapidly generate ideas, explore different concepts quickly, and facilitate brainstorming sessions due to their low-fidelity nature, allowing us to easily sketch and iterate on designs without getting bogged down in details, which is especially beneficial in the early stages of the design process when exploring a wide range of possibilities.
Paper allows me to think fast, understanding the concept of ‘time = money’.

Watching this video allowed me to understand the importance of sketching, using pen and paper, at the beginning of my design process. I am allowed to throw all my ideas onto paper and collaborate all ideas together to finalise, prior to taking up a lot of time using digital softwares to experiment. I have used sketching since the beginning of my design process, since I have started designing. It is a natural habit for me when given a brief and has been the focus point and starting point of all areas of design, whether that be the logo, interface, or even the text.
