WHAT
is Graphic Recording

Live Drawing in Real Time.
Graphic recording – also known as “Public Note Taking”, “Dynamic Sketch Notes”, “Large Scale Mind-Mapping”, or “Visual Documentation”.

Visual Documentation.
A Graphic Recorder literally draws out and captures peoples thoughts, ideas, and presentations – LIVE – at a meeting, presentation, meeting, workshop, community forum, conference, expo or event. 

High-Impact. Long-Lasting.
We work on wall-sized paper so everyone can see. (Typically four feet tall and as wide as your space allows. We’ve worked on sheets as from 8 feet wide to as large as 35 feet.) When the event is done, the visual remains for all to see and remember.

WHY

When people see their thoughts, ideas and experiences on the wall, it makes them feel heard and valued. Graphic Recording encourages participation and increases focus.

Increase Productivity
Seeing ideas and comments documented in a graphic format stimulates Whole-Brain Thinking and increases mental productivity. Graphics enable people to focus on objectives, see trends, commonalities, acknowledges differences and issue then work together to move forward.

These large-scale drawings are hard to ignore and draw attention long after the event. People love to take a closer look at the charts and discuss the content. Many take photos to keep for their records or share on social media.

    I have seen other Graphic Recorders before, but Good Juju has been one of the best by far. The charts were not only beautiful, but the words and content totally captured the spirit of the day. The finished drawings were the star of the show!

    I watched Good Juju take colorful markers to a blank white board and turn it into an informative, comprehensive and artistic story of the conference. With the main points clarified and the speaker’s words emphasized, she created a visual map of the day. It blew my mind…a true artist, I am honored to have experienced her gift.

    Cynthia is the best kind of professional around. She is talented, visionary, and upbeat. I have utilized her insight and skills on multiple projects and can’t wait to do so again. Her graphic recording lights up a room. It adds possibilities and connections to meetings and sessions that go way beyond conversation and decisions. I and my clients love her. I highly recommend Cynthia.
