help people navigate the complex world around them.
VizThink
in 3"x5" Pieces!
I am home safe a sound from VizThink
'08. I knew I'd be making some kind of visual record of
my experience at the conference. After overpacking for several options,
I choose to draw on 3"x5" index cards. Why?
Normally,
I listen to large groups of people and map their conversation
into one image. Here I'd be listening to mostly singular presenters/facilitators.
So, a smaller scale could work.
I knew
a lot of sessions would be hands on. That wouldn't be conducive
to one map, and I wanted to participate.
Thankfully,
I wasn't working this conference, so I wanted to be flexible to
opt in and out of drawing.
3"x5"
were easy to fit on my table space.
I could
think about this conference in all the good seeds of thought I
could use later, so individual cards worked well.
I used just about 100 cards in two days.
