What is Four-step sketch method

The four-step sketch method forces you to create solutions in an effective manner whilst iterating on each variation along the way.

The four-step sketch is an exercise that helps people to create well-formed concepts through a structured process that includes:

  • Review key information
  • Start design work on paper,
  • Consider multiple variations,
  • Create a detailed solution.

This exercise is preceded by a set of other activities allowing the group to clarify the challenge they want to solve. Four Step Sketch exercise fits into a Design Sprint

Brief outline:
  • Notes. Start with twenty minutes to take notes of the goal, opportunities and inspiration you’ve collected earlier on.
  • Ideas. Spend another twenty minutes drawing out rough ideas to form your thoughts.
  • Crazy 8s. Take your strongest solution and sketch out eight different variations of it in eight minutes, known as the ‘Crazy 8s’ exercise.
  • Solution sketch. Draw a detailed end to end solution for the problem in the next thirty minutes or more.
