Simplicity draws out understanding.
Early in graphic recording careers, I see people frantically trying to capture everything that is said. I get it, it’s important to capture the ideas!
BUT when everything is captured, nothing is clear.
It takes the art of synthesis and spacial mapping to help DRAW OUT the main, then support it with a detail, a phrase or a visual metaphor that anchors the understanding.
It’s not easy, simply capturing the most important ideas, gracefully and with ease, takes practice….sometime 20 years of practice.
But the simplicity is what helps people understand.
