Process sketches

• Address how well the assignment is understood. 

• Are part of the process designer’s use while developing ideas but are often rough and lacking specifics. 

• Explain various aspects of a design concept and must be clearly written for possible clients. 

• Are finished products usually created in digital software programs so they can impress potential investors with colorful detail and appealing concepts.
