that you might not otherwise consider. Rolling
the dice can nudge you out of your comfort
zone and add an improvisational element
into your process. If you are stuck on how to
move forward with a particular project, try
rolling the dice to help determine the color
scheme, design, shape, and/or orientation. For
those who tend to get overwhelmed by all the
possibilities, rolling a single die is a great way
to help with indecision and/or help focus on
just a few design ideas.
Develop a Game Plan
Most games have an established set of rules
to play. Having a well-developed game plan
will set you up for success. Take some time to
think about your design goals and develop a
structure that works for you. Here are some
tips to develop your own personalized plan.
- Choose dice assignments that are fun,
interesting, and will challenge you to
explore new design possibilities. - Defi ne and document your dice
assignments by writing them down on
paper.
TIP: If you plan to reuse these dice assignments over
the course of several days or weeks, use a plastic
sheet protector and a dry erase marker to circle your
assignments and/or photograph for future reference.
