Communication methods should be based on identifying the following forms and their intended purposes:

- sketching—drawing objects by hand; typically used as a quick and easy method in the idea-generating phase
- technical drawing—putting ideas on paper in the form of drawings, such as in drafting, which adheres to conventional techniques, standards, and symbols; the universal language of industry
- CADD—using a computer to design and draft; common to the industry today, promoting both speed and accuracy of design and planning
- storyboarding—using visual work instructions and augmented reality.
