I hope my graphic recording video of “What is Graphic Recording?” helps to summarize what it is when you would use it, and why it is so powerful. That is why I like to have a library, I can work on images and icons as part of my prep and create extra detail and add color without the fear of missing something important that is being said. Digital capture allows me far more flexibility to prep and reuse more detailed images for a recording then I could ever hope to create during an event. The Advantages of Digital Image Capture With respect to tools, my preference is always digital capture over paper. It really just comes down to sticking with it and trying to learn and grow skills every day. They are a supportive, inclusive group that I have learned so much from. There are many great resources and groups out there! I was really lucky to find a great group of doodles through a twitter hashtag #todaysdoodle and many of them belong to the SketchNote Army. And confidence not to judge your doodle is the hardest part for people to overcome. So most people’s “doodling” skills are just dormant and a little rusty… the more you start using it, like anything, the better your confidence will be. I try to promote what I do every chance I get because everyone is capable of it, we have just been brought up and taught that doodling is “not paying attention” (I heard that so many times in school). I like the word “doodle” because it feels informal and without expectations. I am NOT an artist, I did not go to art school, I simply like to doodle. Many times people can discuss what the end goal looks like, but it is always amazing to watch people’s reactions when you start to draw it out and add context and structure, that has created so many “ah-ha” moments! Basically, Graphic Recording is ideal for almost anything that requires a group dynamic to be focused towards consensus and generate momentum towards achieving a goal.Įveryone can doodle Many people think they need to be an artist to be a successful Graphic Recorder. To get to that vision, you need to be able to see all the way through and that is where visualization is a powerful tool. When you are capturing their current process and exploring how they might be able to work more effectively and efficiently, you are helping them define a vision for the future. As a business analyst, you really are the front line of change for an organization. I think my drafting background created a strong foundation for how I now plan and prepare my graphic recordings. I loved the freedom and flexibility that CAD offered, removing the limitations of traditional paper. Autodesk est un leader mondial dans le domaine des technologies de conception et de fabrication. I became an Autodesk Certified instructor teaching both AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop. I appreciated the structure and discipline needed to create building plans.

Learn more about Tracey: Twitter: Tracey Levasseur Where it all began I first learned about Graphic Recording when I attended a brainstorm session that was facilitated by a team that included a graphic recorder, Lisa Sorsa.

Workflows are also important, with shortcuts like 'Copy as SVG', and in 3.0 you can now paste copied SVG code directly as editable vector objects or drag & drop an SVG file onto the canvas to quickly import it into a design. ![]() Graphic can also import the vast majority of SVGs created by other applications, and supports SVG features like patterns, markers, CSS styling, etc. ![]() Effects like shadows and glows are exported using SVG filters, for example. Exported SVGs are structured efficiently to be small and so they can easily be hand-edited if needed. Hi Michal, having solid SVG support was an important focus for iDraw, and continues to be in Autodesk Graphic. ![]()
