The
Millennium and Beyond: The Future Looks Bright!
With
the rise in email and Internet communication, our separate and
seemingly independent graphic practices are becoming more linked
and connected and client/consumer awareness and sophistication
is dramatically increasing … type the words 'graphic recording'
or 'graphic facilitation' into any search engine and the listings
increase every day. This field is growing and spreading in unique
and fascinating ways at a phenomenal pace. Practices and individuals
across the globe (Australia,
England, Wales Denmark, Germany, Canada, Taiwan)
are finding out that 'hey, I'm not the only one who thinks and
works in a visual manner!' Individual, creative innovators are
finding out about other colleagues who have been simultaneously
been feeding off of the same 'graphics gestalt' or 'graphic meme'.
And clients can now browse and compare visual practitioners to
more effectively shop for resources to meet their needs.
| “A
whole network of people is now involved, using graphic language
as a key tool in organizational development and communication
consulting, and helping to literally “draw out the best
in people”. We
work all over the world with every kind of organization you
can imagine. We work
with deaf people, disabled people, philanthropists, manufacturing
teams, architects, politicians, bankers, and even gardeners!
Graphic language works everywhere.
There is no question that we’ve stumbled on one
of the most natural and amazing tools we have as humans.” |

However
you slice it, the future of ‘graphics’ looks bright!
