Graphic Facilitation. Drawn to communicate

By Charlie McAllister

Order code: 39-B001        Price: £18.99

Format: 300x220mm ring bound

 

“Like fear of flying, fear of graphics has caused enormous discomfort for many enormously talented people. This book is positively therapeutic. It takes you by the hand gently, and leads you through simple exercises step by step, and then suddenly, from your own hand, recognisable images begin to appear. For either ‘graphic terror’ or ‘graphic tune-up’, this is a great addition to your resource kit.”  Jack Pearpoint, Inclusion Press

 

There are three main requirements of a good graphic facilitator.

  1. You must have an image library lodged in your brain. It needs to be readily accessed; the less thinking about drawing you need to do the better.
  2. You need to be able to pull out the key points of discussions and presentations. There isn’t time to record everything, so you must sift out the salient points and discard the rest.
  3. You need to be able to work at speed. Your aim is not to interrupt the flow of conversation; this means you will need to work quickly as well as accurately.

 

This book contains an extensive image library, full of step-by-step images and tips to make your drawings clearer. There is however, no ‘official set’ of graphic images; the aim is not to create a picture language, nor to make everyone draw the same. The book simply contains images found to be quick and easy to reproduce, as well as advice around making your recording easier to understand. Over time you will adapt the images and develop your own style – which is good.
