Live Visuals - Not just a bit on the side!

Recently I was working for a group of 'Impact Investors'. The reason I've given them capital letters is because they're trying to use their investments to improve things either socially, environmentally or economically for the people and places they invest in, whilst still producing a return on their investments.

Truly a 'win win' situation.

What I was also impressed with was the intuitive way they took what I produced and fully integrated it into their conference. The lower image was used as part of a voting system, as a mnemonic, and finally as a way of celebrating the time they had spent together. Bravo to TONIIC !

Graphic Recording for Comic Relief, London

This event for Comic Relief was hosted by the Overseas Development Institute (ww.odi.org) in Southwark, London.

The event centred on the theme of 'diaspora finance' from a research perspective.

The thing that surprised me the most was that it's the poorest that are hit by the biggest transfer fees to send money either home to, or across the borders within, Africa.

Thanks to Georgina Awoonor-Gordon for asking me to get involved.

A Lido Wedding

Last week I celebrated two things: the last days of our indian summer and a friend's wedding. 

I visited four lidos (yes, 4!). I have to say this one beats most of them for atmosphere and just being a bit of a lido-legend.

After a "trial period" of 12 years, last weekend Lottie and Ian were married at Brockwell Lido.

Visual Minutes for Thames Valley Police

An evening talking to local community leaders held by Thames Valley Police in Reading. 

The speaker who held everyone wrapt was James Pile, a local youth worker. In his words, inviting children into the police cars to try out the police siren played a big part in breaking down police/community barriers at a recent community event. 

Sometimes it's the little things!

Graphic Recording, London

Yesterday I was working for Sky on the challenge of managing people with the aim of creating better working relationships.

Have to say, great venue (and view) @SkyloftLondon as well :)

Drawings for Edinburgh University's MBA

Some more drawings for an online marketing course for Edinburgh Uni, this part is all about the use of unique selling points (USP's) in this case Elvis and Kresse's amazing bags made from London Fire Brigade's recycled fire hoses.

Also the clever use of repackaging and moving with the times that Heinz has continued to do, in order to keep selling ketchup:

Although I'm more into mustard now, after drawing all those bottles :)

Online Marketing Course and the EU referendum results

It's been a strange past few days.

I've been doing some drawings for an online marketing course for Edinburgh University's MBA, and was struck by certain similarities.
