Live Scribing Bootcamp

This bootcamp is for anyone looking to explore the world of sketchnoting and learn how to push their skills beyond the basics. Visual thinking helps you to clarify the thoughts in your head and make them tangible. It helps you communicate ideas easily and map them out to align on one vision within a collaborative context. The performative aspect of visual thinking is called live scribing or graphic recording, where you put those skills to use live in front of an audience, synthesising a conversation or presentation into a visual summary that maps out the the key themes on a page. These pieces can take a life of their own, helping to continue the conversation after the event and reach further than the audience in attendance. In this bootcamp, you will hone the tools and skills you need to create and complete visual summary on the spot in front of an audience.
