[IxDA Discuss] Back to Basics

[adamya ashk]

Ah, the magic of pencil on paper...:-)

I constantly reach for both to solve those 'tricky' interaction
issues. I also dislike erasers and use a pencil lightly. Then go over
the final drawing with a felt tip pen. Many times, due to lack of
time, I've just handed out this 'inked' drawing and if things are
explained well with the help of notes it works quite well.

I've found similar output can be achieved through cleaned up digital
photographs of the white board.

Happy Friday!!
