“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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
