Concept Mapping is ...
What You Should Bring
| Paper | Index Cards, 8.5x11", notepads etc., post-it notes |
| Coloured Pens & Markers | Make sure you've got pens, pencils, sharpies with you |
What we need
Projector - anyone got one they can bring/loan?
VizThink is intended to be a vehicle for the community to meet, learn and discuss the ideas around the notion of Visual Thinking. Ideally this type of session will give people the tools they need to express themselves in new ways regardless of artistic ability.
Free Labour
This isn't a venue for obtaining free-talent/labour. The goal of the Design half of the evening isn't to finish your work for you but help you:
- get started/brainstorm
- get over a hurdle
- get feedback on something you've created.
A Lecture
While there will be a "presentation" component presenters will be encouraged to keep "talking at" the crowd to a minimum with a focus on "talking with". Presentations should involve exercises, discussion, Q&A etc. Powerpoints are permitted but should only be used where they add value to the session - I saw Dave Gray (founder of XPLANE) do a session with almost 1000 slides in a 3 hour span and it was still an entirely engaging and interactive experience, it's about quality not quantity.
Come prepared to share, collaborate and contribute!
