Doodling is for learners

In between book and other illustration assignments, children’s book illustrators can now help lead business meetings.

They can do white board chalk talks. The self-proclaimed leader of the Doodle Revolution, Sunni Brown of Austin, Texas is so making doodling OK in the serious workaday world. Seventy five percent of our brain’s processing activity is working on visual information —  so we’re all visual learners fundamentally,  she says in this presentation in a workshop by Nancy Duarte of  Duarte Design. Nancy also interviewed Sunni about her popular book on creativity and problem solving for business, Gamestorming on her blog  Duarte.com. You can read the post here.
