Good Reading!
DiscoveryDoodles Having been a student of Diane's through AlphaChimp University, I had the pleasure of meeting her at a Visual Practitioner conference in Hawaii a couple of years ago.  What a treat.  I have so enjoyed getting to know Diane and appreciate all I have learned from her.

In this workbook, you will discover the wonderful world of doodling. We created this series to guide you through the basics of how to draw. We have heard thousands of people say, "I can't draw." You CAN. We believe you can and we will show you how. Once you know the basics, there are literally hundreds of ways you can apply it from early childhood, elementary and secondary school and well into your adult life. From infancy to industry, doodling has practical and powerful applications. Mathematicians and scientists use doodles to explain complex theories and equations. Business people use doodles to map business plans and strategies. Across the globe, people from all walks of life are doodling to help them communicate - to give visual representation and meaning to their ideas and to help others. Doodles help people innovate.

There is NO SUCH THING as a mindless doodle.  What did Einstein, JFK, Edison, Marie Curie, DoodleRevolution and Henry Ford have in common? They were all inveterate doodlers. These powerhouse minds knew instinctively that doodling is deep thinking in disguise-a simple, accessible, and dynamite tool for innovating and solving even the stickiest problems.

Sunni Brown's mission is to bring the power of the Doodle to the rest of us. She leads the Revolution defying all those parents, teachers, and bosses who say Stop doodling! Get serious! Grow up! She overturns misinformation about doodling, demystifies visual thinking, and shows us the power of applying our innate visual literacy.

Over the past few years, I have been exploring the world of graphic facilitation and graphic recording.  I stumbled across this book not long ago and find it very helpful in developing my new practice.  Enjoy!!

 

Sketchnote Handbook This gorgeous, fully illustrated handbook tells the story of sketchnotes--why and how you can use them to capture your thinking visually, remember key information more clearly, and share what you've captured with others. Author Mike Rohde shows you how to incorporate sketchnoting techniques into your note-taking process--regardless of your artistic abilities--to help you better process the information that you are hearing and seeing through drawing, and to actually have fun taking notes.

This special video edition includes access to 70 minutes of video tutorials where viewers can see the author in action, demonstrating drawing techniques discussed in the book. Read More...  


I hope you find Crescendo Inc. Good to Knows, good to know! There will more to come shortly. Until then... enjoy!

P.S. If you have any Good to Knows that you would like to share, I hope you send them my way. I'm always curious.
