Graphic Recording

From Sustainability Methods

What, Why & When

Ever lost the golden thread in a lengthy talk or dry 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, discussion rounds, at talks and conferences to help participants engage, comprehend and remember the contents better by making them graphically visible.

Goal(s)

  • ENGAGE: get people to think creatively about what they hear
  • COMPREHEND: illustrate complexity and interconnections for better comprehension
  • REMEMBER: people remember pictures more easily than words
