Rapid Viz: A New Method for the Rapid Visualitzation of Ideas

Customer Reviews:

I recommend the better 2nd edition instead...

By "extreme_dig_cm" - October 7, 2006

This new 3rd edition is barely decent, not great. In some ways, it's easily worse than the good 2nd edition(!)...

It's essentially the same with a few minor changes. First off: the most obvious change here, the one major change, is in its *size*: this 3rd edition is about 2/3 as big as the 2nd edition- tiny! I'm talking about the overall physical dimensions: mainly length & width, with depth not being radically changed.

Most of the lettering is the same size as before, although a few pages include microscopic printing. These new physical dimensions are *not* an improvement. This whole book has an uncomfortably crammed look & feel, not unlike a packed elevator ride. "Get me outta this thing!" is my honest reaction here.

Maybe it's because I'm so used to the 2nd edition: I consider it to be the *BEST* version, even though I only rated it as being somewhat above average. The 2nd edition is basically good, and I'm glad I have it, but I still don't think... read more

Really great stuff to get you moving with visual thinking!

By Lee Say Keng "KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURER/TECHNOLOGY... - July 31, 2006

This is a new edition of Rapid Viz. It is basically the same in terms of contents as the earlier edition.

I have always enjoyed reading - and playing around with the ideas from - Kurt Hank's books. I have all his books, which include Draw!, Design Yourself, The Change Navigator, Wake Up Your Creative Genius, Up Your Productivity.

Like his other books, this book is very well illustrated, conceptually & graphically. It's primary focus is the introduction of a Rapid Visualisation Process, which one can learn easily & then use readily to capture & convert fleeting thoughts into visual forms on paper. It is packed with ideas, games, puzzles & exercises to guide the reader.

It is written for the novice in mind. It provides a step by step approach to the practical strategies of seeing, thinking, & drawing.

For the benefit of readers, I append herewith the Table of Contents:

- All we need is another drawing book;
- Another way of... read more

Smaller Format that previous edition not appreciated

By Alfred Raschdorf "Al" - January 11, 2007

I suppose the smaller format kept the cost down, but I was disappointed to find that out AFTER I bought them. (That's right, "them". I ordered a dozen for a drawing class I held at my company.)

It still has great content though, and I further suppose that if you never ran into the larger format edition, you may not miss it. Excellent content. Not just another drawing book.
