A Note from Joe Sterling . . .

. . . BigHook Graphic Capture

I hope you enjoy viewing, printing, coloring in, annotating, talking about and otherwise engaging with the images as much as I enjoyed capturing them. You can read about these images and the challenge of Graphic Facilitation to learn more about how they were created. Think of them as my gift to the Big Hook2000 gathering, the best I could do in the moment.

About These Images
Each image was generated in real-time in front of the BigHook2000 participant group on white foam core boards 32"x40". The images are responses to the presentations and dialogues as the BigHook2000 event progressed. Each image represents roughly 30 minutes of group activity. The image files are jpeg format and will print nicely for mini-posters. They range in size from 100k to 200k to preserve resolution so be patient with downloading. The images have not been edited in anyway from the original made in the moment.

The Challenge of Graphic Facilitation
Graphic Facilitation means balancing imagery, speed, volume, synthesis, and accuracy. If you were at this conference, you may notice errors and omissions in what I captured. Mistakes are there. It happens. Since each image is created "on the fly" without pre-reading or familiarity with the speakers material, deciding what to capture becomes the trick. Consequently, some key points get omitted, or depending on how well I heard or understood a given concept, things sometimes get mis-represented. I do my best to faithfully represent the tone, message, and meaning of each participant's communication and look for ways to frame these (literally and figuratively) in the most powerful manner possible.

Cheers,
