Hey friend, this is going to be a little bit more of a

technical hands -on video where I'm actually going to show you

how to do a Crazy 8s exercise as part of the ideation phase in your design process.

Crazy 8s is a really quick and easy exercise that you can do during the ideation phase of your design process.

It's a great way to generate quick ideas, involve different stakeholders In a nutshell,

Crazy 8s enables you to do quick rough sketches and drawings of different concepts and ideas for your project.

Now at this stage of the design process we really want to focus on quantity rather than quality.

So your sketches do not need to be perfect.

Don't worry, you don't need to be good at drawing to do this exercise.

Often actually I bring in my engineers, my product managers, various different cross -functional folks to be a part of this fun exercise.

You'll get the opportunity to draw around eight different concepts within a time frame.

Now don't worry, you will feel rushed and this is all part of the process.

It's supposed to be quick, lightweight, or technical in your designs,

let's keep it high level for now.

And you can either do static screens or flows depending on maybe what the prompt is or the context of the project.

Alright, so there's only three things that you need for this exercise, which I'm sure you can find lying around your house or in your office if you're working in an office these days.

Basically, you'll need paper.

Now, I recommend a three -sized paper, but if you have a four, that's fine as well.

You'll also need a sharpie.

Now, I do recommend a sharpie or some kind of thick marker over a bullet point pen, because with bullet point pens, we tend to start getting really detailed and annotating our designs,

and we don't want to get to that level yet.

So, I really do recommend going with some sort of sharpie.

And also a timer.

It is possible to do this exercise on your own, to get your cross -functional team on board,

your stakeholders involved in this sort of ideation, brainstorming part of the design process, and give them all the chance to kind of contribute to the design and the solutions as well.

Now the purpose of a Crazy 8's exercise is really to generate multiple and different ideas from the group.

You should not yet be at a stage in the project where you've kind of locked down on a solution

or an idea.

You should be doing this exercise before that to generate those ideas

and then eventually you converge and choose on a solution or a direction

Crazy Arts exercise is

that you as the designer are going to have all of these awesome concepts generated by multiple people in your team.

And your job is to kind of go away, take those ideas, reflect on them, have a look through them,

and kind of think about how you might want to consolidate some ideas or discard some ideas and how to move forward.

You might develop some of those ideas into a prototype to do some user testing on.

You might even combine some different ideas that came up from different people in the group.

And some, you know, you might throw away and that's fine too.

Sometimes I also like to do crazy eights just on my own as a little exercise

when I'm maybe feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward

or maybe I feel like I have a lot of ideas in my head

that I just need to quickly get out on paper

so I can let that creativity energy come out and then sort of see them tangibly and make decisions to move forward.

totally you can do this on your own as well instead of in a team setting.

I'm going to show you how to do this exercise in

an analog format however I know a lot of people are working from home

or remotely these days and

if you want to do this remotely with your team then there are a few tools out there

that I think you could easily adapt to do this process with

and I would recommend checking out tools like Whimsical or Overflow.

Let's go and do it for real now.

We're going to begin with our piece of paper

and now we want to fold this into basically eight pieces so I'm going

this piece of paper in half first and then fold it in half again.

and again one more time so that

when you open up the piece of paper you now have

basically eight different sections of your piece of paper for you to draw your crazy eights.

Then I'm going to set my timer to eight minutes and get started with sketching.

I like to draw some rectangles or device frames within each section, but you can just use the whole section if you want to to represent your mobile or desktop device.

Usually when I'm doing this exercise, I actually don't look too much at the timer.

I don't want to pay attention to it and have that sort of distract me or limit my explorations.

If you wanted to, you could try and set a goal of sort of one minute per idea.

filling out all of the eight sections.

So there is no rule here as to how long you spend on each section, but try to constrain yourself to the eight minutes that you set.

Once the eight minutes is up, put your pen down and stop drawing.

Then if you've done this in a group setting, you can go around the room and present your ideas back to the group.

I like to go around the table

and sort of have everyone present very briefly and sort of show and talk through some of their ideas, so that everyone in the room kind of has a sense for what everyone else explored.

Then I like to stick everyone's idea up on the wall

and sort of walk around and have another look at all of the different concepts.

And sometimes at this point you could do dot voting where maybe you give everyone three dots

that they can use to vote on their favorite or most promising idea in the room.

At this point you should have a collection now of a lot of different concepts and a lot of different ideas.

Okay, that is how to do a crazy eights exercise.

Pretty simple, but I think the results can be really remarkable and I've been a part of some really, really fun crazy eight sessions where people have thought of things I wouldn't even dream of

or we get in a really cool rhythm where we're like stacking and combining our ideas on top of one another.

Sometimes we'll do this exercise multiple times.

We'll do multiple rounds of them where we kind of check in after each round, see or concepts from other people.

So I do think that this is a really, really useful and quick exercise to do to generate ideas.

Alright friend, if you want some more one on one help with how to run crazy eights exercises, or maybe you have other questions about different parts of the design process,

you can always book time with me over on Superpeer, and we can chat one -on -one.

Until the next video, catch you later.

Bye!

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？

这个视频介绍了一种名为疯狂八的方法，能够帮助设计师在构思阶段快速生成创意。当你观看这个视频并跟随讲解进行口语练习时，你不仅可以提升自己的英语口语能力，还能学习如何在团队合作中进行头脑风暴。这种练习让你在较短的时间内组织自己的表达，与他人分享想法，从而提高你的英语影子跟读能力和自信心。通过角色扮演和模仿讲解者的方式，你将能够流利地表达自己的观点，尤其在设计和创意领域，这对于雅思口语练习或其他英语口语练习特别有用。

语法与表达在语境中的应用

强调数量而非质量：视频中提到“我们想专注于数量而不是质量”。这个结构能够帮助你理解在创意生成时快速表达和分享想法的重要性。
参与不同的利益相关者：通过使用“让不同的利益相关者参与进来”的表达，可以提高你在工作环境中如何邀请同事分享观点的能力。
时间管理的使用：讲解者提到使用“定时器”来控制时间，这样的表达可以帮助你在讨论中有效管理发言时间，尤其是在需要展示项目的情况下十分重要。

常见发音陷阱

在视频中，有一些词汇可能会让学习者感到困难。例如，“exercise”（练习）这个词，有些人可能会倾向于发音不准确。又如“design”（设计），在不同的口音中其发音也可能有所不同。注意这些特定的词汇，尤其在实际对话中，能够帮助你清晰地表达自己的观点。通过不断的英语口语练习和模仿，你可以克服这些发音的难点，提升自己的口语流利度。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	you've done · I've been
用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 动词 — 有可能但不确定的事	might want · might develop · might even combine
用 “should” 提建议 should + 动词 — 表示应该做的事	should not yet · should be · should have
动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词	start getting · stop drawing

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
