Abstract
Sketching holds significance for graphic design as well as it does in any other design process. The contribution of sketching to graphic design process comes in the form of generating new ideas and developing concepts. The solution of a design problem will not be the best one, if the designer uses technological tools, such as computers, directly in order to solve the design problem. The significance of sketching includes also the graphic design education. Even though computers are the mostly used tools in today's graphic design education, students should grasp the benefits of sketching. In this study, the role played in creative process by sketches that students do related to their projects during a course that is in the curriculum of a university’s Graphics Department will be discussed.
Keywords: Design, graphic design, sketch, design process, creativity.
