Whiteboard from a mini-workshop I led at the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society For Technical Communication. The workshop was geared toward helping people plan projects by thinking the project through visually.

I decided to mind map our conversation. The paper wasn't quite big enough and I only had two thick pens, but it was still fun.
I wanted to start sketching in black and white because first I want to improve basic drawing. Later I'll add color. It's my point of view of how I'd represent each word. Tell me what do you think! I'd really appreciate it!

A colleague came to me with a plan to talk about a debate about World War II in her class — American isolationists vs. interventionists. We talked about her plans, and did some revision of these plans with diagrams and maps and Brainstorming!
Her class has 23 kids in it. We decided that we were going to have Roosevelt deliver a policy speech, and then have two teams under him — one would propose the specific lend-lease legislation; a group of opponents would try to undercut it. The opposition would then propose their own legislation and Roosevelt's team would try to undercut THAT. But then we were left with too many kids sitting on the sidelines. We tried to resolve it by imagining teams on the sidelines producing graphic design materials and propaganda that would support or undercut both sides — or that would serve as "voices from the extremes" which would help make clear what a dangerous time this was in American history.
Some of our planning revolved around having a "graphic design" team produce a newspaper that had all the technical data that each side would need in its newspaper — and to tie those newspaper designs to William Randolph Hurst and other newspaper demagogues of the 1920s and 1930s and 1940s.

Photo from a mini-workshop I led at the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society For Technical Communication. The workshop was geared toward helping people plan projects by thinking the project through visually. I showed them 6 visual frameworks and had participants draw diagrams to get a 360 degree view of the what/who/where/when/how/how much/why of their projects. A big part of the workshop involved sharing their discoveries with each other. They found that visually depicting the elements of their projects made it easier to communicate them to to other people.
Todays notes come from an online workshop from VizthinkU on visual notetaking, featuring Austin Kleon, Mike Rohde, and Sunni Brown.
Every Thursday at XPLANE we have visual thinking school, where we focus on getting better at our craft. This week we looked at the last month's work with a critical eye.
This shot reminds me of those two guys on the Muppet Show.
I didn't get started on this fast enough, but Blake saw that I was making a diagram of Cornell-style notes on the board, and decided that he wanted to do it. So I let him. This series shows his efforts to lay out the program. He left out a few bits, but he did great. Tomorrow I'll pick another student.
