What, Why & When
Ever lost the golden thread in listening to a lengthy talk or very abstract discussion?
Visualizations help!
Graphic Recording is the process of LIVE translating complex ideas from a spoken event into drawn words and pictures. It is used in meetings, discussions, talks and conferences to help participants engage with, comprehend and remember the contents better by making them graphically visible.
Goals
- ENGAGE - get people to think creatively about what they hear
- COMPREHEND - illustrate complexity and interconnections for better comprehension
- REMEMBER - people remember visuals more easily than words
Getting started
What you need
Graphic library
Your graphic library is your mental (and paper) collection of visuals and drawing ideas that you tap on when you do a live recording. While some visuals are easily imagined, more complex and abstract ideas need some reimagination. Get to know the key words for your recording session and find visuals beforehand. That way, you feel more confident in drawing when contents get difficult.
Recording station
The graphic facilitator is usually placed somewhere to the side where she is visible to the audience but not distracting. Graphics can be drawn on boards, paper, flipchart etc. There are very good (and very expensive) special markers for graphic facilitation. Test which ones flow easily and suit your drawing style and technique.
Courage to draw (because everyone CAN do it!) ...
The most important thing you need is courage to draw in front of others. The good thing is, that you don't need to be an artist, because graphic facilitation focuses on structuring content rather than artistic aesthetics. However, practice boosts confidence!
... or you hire a professional graphic facilitator for your event
How to start
Practice essentials
Asking Mike Rohde (2012) the Essential Eight are: lines, bullets, boxes, arrows, lettering, people, colors, and shade.
(insert pictures here)
Use sketchnotes
Try taking notes from your classes, seminars, lectures, or use TED talks to practice your visualization skills. Sketchnotes are essentially the private form of a graphic recording in your own notebook. It's the ideal (because purposeful) way to experiment and build your graphic library.
