Design Sprint Crazy 8s - Generate design ideas FAST

this is Crazy Eights and the first thing you're gonna want to do is take a piece of a4 paper just like Rob has and fold it three times now you have eight squares you want to set a timer for eight minutes the point of this exercise is to draw one idea eight different times so you're spending one minute within each square of your page and you're trying to take your idea and draw it in as many ways as possible now the moderator is gonna tell you when each minute is up and it doesn't matter where you are you have to move to the next square this actually this exercise is just so great if you have the sort of you don't what we would call maybe writer's block or sketching block and it's just a way to get any idea out on paper one of the ideas would be good and you can record with it it's fast it's fun it's a little bit crazy but you do really want to focus on actually getting something out of this exercise so try not to be too insane with your doodling but just try to always get something down on the page at in every 60 second check that's what's most important this is such a great exercise to use to sketch whether it be an interface a new logo design or even actually some copywriting make sure to always keep writing keep drawing if you can't think of anything just keep your hand moving draw a square around one of the boxes and just just keep moving just keep them so it's important to remember that of course this this piece of paper is yours you don't have to show it to anyone it's just for you to be proud of what you've accomplished and hopefully we've gotten some inspiration so that when you're moving to do your full concept sketch you have something to go off it if you're doing this exercise on your own all you have to do is make sure you have a timer that will fuzz after 60 seconds and you can switch to the next square it's so important to keep this time limit because that's what makes it crazy
