The first secret we want to share with you is about focussing on your idea and not getting stuck on the details too early.

The easiest way to do this is by sketching things out using thick lines. As much as we love hard pencils and ballpoint pens - these are great for drawing and writing – they aren’t amazing to sketch out an idea.

Pick up a Sharpie or whiteboard marker instead and embrace the boldness of their lines: They help you to focus on the big picture. Of course, you can always add details later.

This is part of a series of 24 design secrets we want to share with you – one for every day before the holidays.
