The why and how of visual storytelling
The art of visual storytelling involves the use of graphics, drawings and hand lettering to motivate the viewers to engage with each other and the subject matter. It is a tool for live note-taking and sense-making, and acts as a parallel processing pathway for the participants.
In other words, the ideas and insights of an event are captured live while it’s happening and it the end result serves as a collective summary, giving the participants a visual highlight of the discussion. It also creates an emotional connection to the meeting and keeps the image of the meeting vivid in the memory.
