I’ve touched on this subject before, but I thought maybe a refresher was in order. Keeping a sketchbook around for jotting down ideas, pasting in notes or otherwise affixing your thoughts into a hardbound repository is an excellent habit to get into.

Being able to visualize your concepts and have them translate to your clients and colleagues is a beneficial asset to you and your team–and that’s well before you show them your finished work.
