What Does 'Lead with LUV' Mean?

Jennell King describes the technical and emotional challenges of creating a time-lapse scribing video.

Folks have been asking about production processes for these types of videos.  I recently did one for the Ken Blanchard Companies, and for such a simple-looking product, it's actually a fairly complex process.  Here's how this eight-minute video was created, and what it was like to do it.

How to Write Like an Architect

In this video from the series How to Architect, Doug Patt demonstrates how to architect with the basic drafting tools for an architect when working by hand: a parallel rule, a t-square, and an Ames lettering guide to create the lines for the lettering. 

Although this is a controlled tabletop activity, the principles apply to graphic recording. Doug's advice: "I'd say the most important thing to remember about hand lettering is that your letters need to seem animated while still appearing orderly and neat. I think this is achieved by using a few conventions."

Rachel Smith on Visual Recording on the iPad

This is a really nice, soothing and simple explanation of visual facilitation and the use of the iPad as an emerging tool for graphic facilitation.

Rachel Smith covers her usage of key apps: Adobe Ideas, Qrayon’s AirSketch, Brushes by Taptrix, and Autodesk SketchbookPro.

Includes a nice "plus, delta" list of pros and cons for each. Rachel works for for the New Media Consortium and lives in Northern California.
