Index card art. A little play to start the day. For me, abstract improvisational doodles are pure play. I start with a random mark and go from there. It’s like a game of solitaire improv, with pen and paper instead of a deck of cards, but you end up with something tangible at the end (and it’s way more fun than cards 😉).

Another flip chart for tomorrow’s “Innovate with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® workshop. Hat tip to @malgosiakostecka for teaching me to make pretty lists in her Graphic Facilitation training at the @groveconsultants in San Francisco (if you ever get a chance to take a workshop with her, run, don’t walk!)
🖍
Likes: I like that I incorporated some images, and that the color scheme is simple.
🖍
Wishes: I wish the spacing were more even—for the title, and for the leading between the text blocks. And I’m not sure whether I like the border or not. It feels rather busy. I do like that the border appears to be *behind* the box, though. 👍

(Hat tip to Malgosia for this lovely was of self-critiquing your work, with “likes” and “wishes.”)

I made 25 flip charts for tomorrow’s 90-minute workshop. This is the very last one—I finally got to use my monster pen! 😄 With my signature Neuland #lettering. (I used to teach this style of #calligraphy around the country, but never this large!)
🖍
I have to say, I really enjoy making flip charts. The bar is pretty low, as people don’t expect flip charts to be much (actually, if they expect anything, it’s PowerPoint slides!), so I’m able to loosen up on my perfectionism and have fun. Really, whatever I do will probably be interesting and engaging, so as long as I communicate the content, it’s a win. 😊👍
🖍
The only thing I don’t enjoy is how time-consuming it is to make these charts, and I wish they were as easy to swap out and move around as PowerPoint slides! 🖍
Sigh… no technology is perfect. .
