    Drink'n'Draw: Your Vacation While Building Visual Design Skills with Kevin Thorn

    Drink'n'Draw: Your Vacation While Building Visual Design Skills with Kevin Thorn

    Our Drink'n'Draw host, Kevin Thorn, recently took his family to Disney World and he sketchnoted the entire experience.  

    Of course he did.

    If you think this doesn't have any relationship or impact on your work, well, you'd be wrong.

    Analyzing business processes is a mandatory part of L&D work.  We listen.  We ask questions.  We watch. And then magic happens... poof... instructional objectives are written.

    While that may be how your stakeholders see it, we all know the invisible magic is often a struggle in organizing data and working through business processes that often don't make sense.  Most often these processes are trapped inside a SME's head and it's your job to get it out.  Understand it.  Document it. And then ask if that looks about right?

    You might already use a spreadsheet and outline the process, or maybe a flow charting app.  But have you ever just wanted to sketch it out and get the first draft visual done quickly in order to get their feedback?

    Kevin Thorn joins us and offers an opportunity for you to practice your sketchnoting skills this summer. You're taking a vacation anyways, so you might as well do a little professional upskilling at the same time, right?

    And after the August IDIODC break, we expect to see examples of your work ;)

    Drink'n'Draw: Sketchnoting Diverse Characters for eLearning with Kevin Thorn

    Drink'n'Draw: Sketchnoting Diverse Characters for eLearning with Kevin Thorn

    Instructional Designers and eLearning developers play an important role in DEI programs.  When stock characters are required it's often difficult to find the right image that reflects your requirements.  And when you do find something that works it's often quite boring and unfitting of the style you had designed. So, we're often left wondering, "I wish I could make my own diverse set of characters for my eLearning content".

    Kevin Thorn, joins us to do just that. Kevin is the Chief NuggetHead of NuggetHead Studioz and our guest for the ongoing favorite Drink'n'Draw series.  In this episode Kevin will walk us through the process of designing and sketchnoting our own diverse characters for eLearning.

    If you're new to Sketchnoting, then I would encourage you to go through Kevin's "Sketchnote School".
    https://nuggethead.net/2013/09/sketchnote-school-6-steps-to-great-conference-sketchnotes/
    He wrote the series of 6 Blog Posts teaching conference attendees how to sketchnote during DevLearn. But, of course, all of the elements apply to drawing diverse characters as well.

    Bring your pen and paper for another entertaining and skill-building episode of Drink'n'Draw.
