At Sketch Group, we believe that sketching can be transformational. Our sketches solve problems, bring stories to life, and simplify the complex. Here's a snapshot of what we've been up to lately. No Images? Click here On Thursday night the Sketch Group team attended the Mumbrella: Publish awards, as the video we made for our lovely client CPA Australia had been nominated for an award in the "best use of short-form video" category. The video aimed to explain blockchain to a non-technical audience. Watch the video. I'll be honest, we don't pay a lot of attention to awards at Sketch Group. It was an honour to be nominated, but the whole team was so busy last week working on videos, posters, and live events for clients that we nearly decided not to go to the award night. In fact, it was only a few days before the awards ceremony that I realised the event was not being held in Melbourne, and had to book some last-minute flights and accommodation! As it turns out, I'm glad we attended, as our video won! The judges said they were impressed with how we simplified a complex topic and made it easy to understand. Representatives from Sketch Group and CPA Australia accept the award Which doesn't surprise me to hear, as simplifying the complex is what we do at Sketch Group. But it is nice to have it validated every now and then! And a huge thank you to our wonderful client CPA Australia for giving us the opportunity to continue to tell important stories. VELCRO® Brand: there is only one.When you meet a great client, sometimes you just click. Or stick. At Sketch Group we've been fortunate enough to work with VELCRO® Brand Australia for a few years now. We've made sketch videos about their origins, their brand guidelines, a motion graphic series of Tradie Hacks and now we're proud to share our latest work with them, a series of instructional videos on their product range This series of five videos really shows off how far we can go with sketching. The human element, the interaction of the hand with the product, is such a fun and engaging way to showcase the VELCRO® Brand range. It was a great deal of fun, inventive and exciting work for our team and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Take a look for yourself. Sunni Brown and Jessamy Gee: Keynote Speakers at VizConfHave you purchased your tickets to VizConf 2018, the first large-scale conference for visual thinkers? Tickets are selling fast and it's looking like it will sell out. In case you missed it, the keynote speakers for the conference have been announced, and they are none other than Sunni Brown (author of two of my favourite books ever, Gamestorming and The Doodle Revolution) and Jessamy Gee, one of Melbourne's most talented graphic recorders. The theme of the conference is Think Global, Draw Local and it's shaping up to be an incredibly inspiring day. If you're at all interested in visualisation, visual thinking, sketchnoting or graphic facilitation, this is the event to attend. I recently co-hosted an episode on the bikablo® radio podcast, where VizConf co-organiser Marcel Van Hove and I interviewed Sunni Brown about entrepreneurship, meditation, deep self design, and her upcoming presentation at VizConf 2018. You can get excited about seeing Sunni present ahead of the conference by listening to it here. VizConf 2018 will be held on Saturday, October 13 in Melbourne, Australia. Register here. Cheers
