Budget Meeting for Environmental Group

Best graphic recording session ever! I always love environmental activists, and HYPERLINK ""Climate Fast is one of my favourite organizations. They met in a small room with a large series of windows and for a moment I thought it couldn’t be done! Then I decided to try, and I hung a double paper across the window, and put to use the skills I had learned working for the Expressive art Therapist’s AGM with the panelled wall. I used very light strokes of brush pens instead of chisel-tipped sharpies and I integrated chalk and colour. It was exciting to watch it slowly unfold. Nothing makes me happier than graphic recording. I could do it all day, it makes me feel amazing! The most amazing part was glancing back, and noticing participants were visually referencing my work. They were actually looking up at the graphic recording for inspiration instead of down at their open laptops, which is the most awesome thing ever. Later in the meeting they were actually referring back to discussion blocks using the recording as a reference point. And despite the very serious topics at hand, the meeting became much more fun and productive. As well, I was pleased with the final look of the recording, which was balanced design-wise with good depth and colour choices. This is what we look for in a successful session!
