3. Sketch

It's time to come up with solutions.
Example
All Crazy 8's
All Solutions
On Tuesday afternoon, it’s time to come up with solutions. You’ll start with twenty minutes to “boot up” by taking notes on the goals, opportunities, and inspiration you’ve collected around the doc. Then you’ll have another twenty minutes to write down rough ideas.
Next, it’s time to limber up and explore alternative ideas with a rapid sketching exercise called Crazy 8’s. And finally, you’ll take thirty minutes or more to draw your solution sketch—a single well-formed concept with all the details worked out.
