Back in 1972, Allen Newell and Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon studied long-term memory, short-term memory and - here’s where it gets interesting - “external” memory. External Memory: Take A Load Off Your Mind, LiterallyĬognitive psychologists have been studying the impact of sketching on brain functioning for years, and with good reason: Putting ideas to paper is a powerful way to extend one’s memory. To understand why hand-sketching makes such a difference for me and many designers I know, I did some research. I’ve spent hours in front of both computer screens and sketchpads, and something about the latter always keeps me going longer, thinking more clearly, progressing further and designing better. From personal experience, I know that sketching on paper has something powerful about it that takes my designs to the next level. Love it or hate it, there’s much more to a sketchbook than old-school charm. Others couldn’t imagine their creativity surviving without it.
Some absolutely hate the thought of putting their ideas to paper because they can’t draw to save their lives.
