Abstract
In this exploratory investigation we present the analysis of creative team strategies of remote sketching used during the meetings of three design teams while interacting with a client that had requested their services for the design of the graphic image of a research laboratory. During the experiment, the groupware softwares for synchronous work, Skype and Vyew, were used. The teams make the selection of the ideas, once these are drafted, in a verbal way. This process involves work cycles in which the nominal work requires verbal communication for the group idea selection; as for the simultaneous work, the audio conference needs to withstand the whole process of group idea formation. Without the synchronous verbal communication, the exchange or the selection of ideas, which will lead to the formation of group ideas, would not be possible.
