Bikablo - A quick start guide to learning essential visual vocabulary by Martin Haussmann
Posted by JAYA MACHET
Sketchnoting or visual note-taking works a lot like writing. To begin, you will need paper and a pen – and then some of the basic visual vocabulary that we’ve developed here at bikablo. Of course, a little finger practice will come in handy, too – but this usually happens all on its own. Then, you’ll be taking your first steps toward becoming a visualizer. A few images from “UZMO – Thinking With Your Pen” will help you to get started. Have you ever drawn an arrow? Of course you have! I personally have always been fascinated by this graphic, which was used...

Visual Feedback - A second channel of communication by Martin Haussmann
Posted by JAYA MACHET
When, during discussions with colleagues or clients, you once again get that feeling that there is a lack of mutual understanding, what you’re really missing are just three things: a pen, a sheet of paper, and a couple of drawing basics. With these, visualization opens a second channel of communication, and immediately, people begin to better understand each other’s point of view. Back in 1971, Allan Paivio, a native Canadian, introduced his Dual Coding Theory at the University of Western Ontario. His theory was based upon the assumption that, since we mentally process images differently than we do verbal or written information,...

Why Visualise?
Posted by JAYA MACHET
It is very hard to have clear thought processes due to the bombardment of ideas, information, & observations. It is helpful to put your thoughts on paper be it text, graphics or pictures. More and more people are using 'thought sketching' to make ideas visible. By using icons, symbols, pictograms or graphics as key visuals you can make an abstract idea tangible. Content you have written or drawn is easier to remember and recall as most people learn by seeing and doing rather than hearing. An illusion of having understood something arises when too complex information is delivered too quickly. Slide...

Visual conversation for higher team productivity
Posted by JAYA MACHET
Visual language is defined as a system of communication using visual elements. Just as people can verbalise their thinking, they can visualise it. Our brains are constantly busy with observations, ideas and arguments so it is helpful to put everything that comes into our head down on paper. More and more people use thought sketching in the form of text, graphics or pictures in order to make the ideas visible. Research has proved that people grasp things bette by doing rather than by seeing or hearing them. Visualisation offers learners a chance to "do" something in a manner that is accessible...

If not now, when?
Posted by JAYA MACHET
To quote Gandhi “Be the change you want to see in the world” – each one of us has to think about what we are consuming and how we can reuse more. Growing up in India, we didn’t have plastic bags only paper bags which served us very well. We sold all our old newspapers which were then reused and much to our delight, old exam papers often popped up in the paper cones that the peanut seller filled with peanuts. It felt as if nothing was thrown away and could be reused, today of course India has changed too....
