GRAPHIC RECORDING
Graphic recording has many forms, many functions and many names. At its core, it is about listening deeply to the client and transforming their input into a cohesive vision!
Social Listening Mural
Sometimes a client will want to know what people in the room are thinking, or how event attendees respond to a significant question, to cultivate a positive mindset, to gauge the temperature of an issue... Sometimes I record the output from a facilitated session, helping participants align on a shared vision.
This board was at an Open Studio in San Francisco where people were asked what they love most about the City!
A Graphic Recorder can also create real-time imagery from a tablet or laptop somewhere in the meeting space, or even remotely! From a conference monitor at a small strategy meeting to a huge conference space video projection, the capture can be simultaneously shared.
For this image, I imagined what major topics would be discussed at the Game Developers’ Conference in San Francisco.
Digital Graphic Recording (DGR)
Infographics
Infographics make complex ideas easier to understand by appealing to our visual way of learning and retaining information. Plus, they are fun to look at and engage with!
Keynote Capture
I capture keynote presentations both in-person and remotely, giving attendees a visual record to take home with them and a fun reminder of its key talking points!
Visual Roadmap
Sometimes, a client will need a visual representation of a client journey, or a roadmap depicting a systemic experience.
In this case, the Brotherhood of Elders Network (under AYA) wanted to show two journeys of a Black Californian on their way to becoming a teacher: one as it is, and one as it COULD be. With input from many individuals and organizations, we produced a comprehensive visual tool for sparking discussion and, hopefully, meaningful change.
