About the Idea Drafting Template
The Idea Drafting Template is a tool that encourages you to tap into your innate creativity by drawing pictures to generate ideas quickly. It involves creating small, rough sketches that capture the essence of an idea or concept. These sketches are not meant to be detailed or polished but serve as a starting point for further exploration.
The sketching process stimulates a cycle of creativity that supports the development of concepts. By externalizing your thoughts through sketches and seeing them visualized, you can generate variations and continue the creative process. Sketching lets you quickly iterate on ideas, refine them, and explore new directions.
Benefits of using the template
Facilitates rapid ideation and collaboration for innovative and iterative problem-solving.

They are best for testing broad concepts and validating ideas. Low fidelity prototypes help product and UX teams study product or service functionality by focusing on rapid iteration and user testing to inform future designs.
