the WAY we THINK

It’s a busy day, and an even busier evening in a local bar. The pubs now a days are crowed and noisy. Local bars are more economical – cheap liquor and compromise-able food.
One particular table is noisier – me and couple of us are on tissue papers! Hey wait, scribbling, in fact scribbling the design flow of our new app.
“What do you think”
“This is not happening….why would someone come here and then click this button to get their sales info?”
….
…..
“Sir, any more” the steward asked….
“repeat!!!”….
“who are the users???” the conversation continued
….
…..
“Sir, last order” it was time to wrap and wrap the tissues also….my manager might not necessarily accept these.
We have forgotten the flow (effect of the flow of booze), we got to retype – bosses don’t even want reimburse the bill; will they accept the tissues?
How I wish we could convert them into something more intuitive – more visual, I hate ppt!!

While tissues+booze are the best brainstorming tools there are some ‘softer’, better tools – some with a price and now some are free also!
