Linguist's Perspective on Drawing   In this episode, we are exploring visual thinking and drawing in particular from the scientific point of view - Dr. Neil Cohn helps us use insights from linguistics and cognitive science to demystify misconceptions about drawing. Such misconceptions like drawing is rooted in talent, being a copycat is bad and similar - all of these are brilliantly debunked by Neil. Neil is very passionate and knowledgeable about comics and how they work and in his recent book he is challenging the idea of the universality of comics understanding and we talk about that too. Tune in to indulge your inner nerd!     Dr. Neil Cohn   Neil Cohn Ph.D. is an American cognitive scientist internationally recognized for his pioneering research on the relationship between visual communication and language. He received his doctorate in cognitive psychology at Tufts University, and he is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Cognition and Communication at Tilburg University in The Netherlands. Having originally started working for Image Comics as a teenager, his creative work includes illustrating We the People (with Thom Hartmann, 2004), a non-fiction graphic novel about American history and politics. His academic monograph, The Visual Language of Comics (Bloomsbury, 2013), introduced a broad framework for studying the cognition of drawing and comics, and Who Understands Comics? (Bloomsbury, 2020) integrated 40 years of disparate scientific research to challenge conventional knowledge about the “universality” of sequential image comprehension. His theories provided the foundation for BBC News Labs’ automatically generated news comics, and several of his proposed emoji will be integrated into keyboards in 2021. He is on Twitter at @visual_linguist, and his work can be found on his website, www.visuallanguagelab.com      SUPPORT THE PODCAST   This show is brought to you by the Visual Thinking and Sketchnoting Boot Camp Udemyonline course developed for you by Yuri Malishenko.

I’m Axelle, living in Belgium but feeling at home pretty much anywhere in the world. My visual story started in 2010. I had been an HR and communications professional for 18 years when I discovered the power of (live) visual storytelling for corporate purposes. Since then, I’ve been traveling around the world helping companies to translate their stories into drawings. I love to combine my passion for drawing with my strategic skills. In an age of information overload, my mission is to create drawings that have the almost magical capacity to clarify the most complex strategic content in a way that transforms the viewer’s perspective. My mission is to enable anyone in the world to convey a message with a drawing, which has driven me to write a book, ‘Start to draw’. For those who prefer not to draw themselves, I founded Drawify in 2020.     SUPPORT THE PODCAST   This show is brought to you by the Visual Thinking and Sketchnoting Boot Camp Udemyonline course developed for you by Yuri Malishenko.

Jens Nordmann   Jens is a Graphic Recorder and Artist living in Berlin. Besides this, he is doing Illustration, animation, and giving workshops on visualization for beginners and advanced practitioners. Besides that, he was working with painting, sculpture, sound, dance, and performance. He loves any kind of improvisation and chance operations. Despite his nonexisting Latin skills he still believes that: „Nihil est in intellectu quod non sit prius in sensu“ (translates as "Nothing is in the intellect that was not first in the senses").   He’s a sucker for metaphors and thinks they are multivitamin shots of information for the brain. They are shortcuts that help see things with humor and from an unexpected perspective. Our friendly bugs in the system.   Jens is convinced that visualization is way more than icon juggling. It brings up powerful images that can help shape our mindset and change our behavior in any kind. Jens is super excited about any technique to invite our brain to change and to emerge new things. Therefore he is very interested in projects with a systemic background, Hypnotherapy, Gestalt therapy, constellation work, psychodrama... an endless list.   If you want to find out more about his work check his work on: www.jensnordmann.de Or follow him on Instagram: @jens_nordmann_visualthinking     SUPPORT THE PODCAST   This show is brought to you by the Visual Thinking and Sketchnoting Boot Camp Udemyonline course developed for you by Yuri Malishenko.

Heather Martinez   Heather Leavitt Martinez is a visual practitioner, art coach, and lettering artist living in Southwest Colorado. After studying with master sign painters, graffiti artists, and calligraphers - which she continues to do today - she decided to translate what she learned to teach other visual practitioners the tradecraft of breaking down any lettering styles into the tools we use when leading from the front of the room and virtually.   Heather believes that what we write on the wall is more than mere handwriting - letters are the building blocks of communication. Get that right while executing with confidence, and visual practitioners can then focus on other aspects of the work.   As a co-founder of the Visioneering team near Washington, DC, Heather helped develop and maintain a 6-person team of visual practitioners in 2014. Heather has presented hands-on lettering breakout sessions at two IFVP (International Forum of Visual Practitioners) conferences and at EuViz Denmark.   Heather was one of the Keynote speakers at VizConf 2019 in Melbourne, Australia at ENVISION 2020 and is a Neuland Ambassador.   To help get you started in improving your lettering, Heather offers a variety of free and low-cost resources at www.LetsLetterTogether.com   Follow Heather on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/corpgraffitiart/      SUPPORT THE PODCAST   This show is brought to you by the Visual Thinking and Sketchnoting Boot Camp Udemyonline course developed for you by Yuri Malishenko.

Lindsay Wilson     Born in Germany, moved to Texas where I grew up, and went to university. I hold a degree in Speech Communication and in Graphic Design. I moved to Chicago shortly after graduating to start a career in advertising. That plan didn't work out so well. Instead, a family friend introduced me to a company called Capgemini Ernst and Young and the rest is as you say, history. As a contractor back in 2002, I was introduced to the MG Taylor methodology and to scribing. I spent the next 10 years as an independent contractor helping organize and deliver events for corporate clients all over the world. It was a blast. I learned so much. It was like getting an MBA through osmosis.      In 2011, I had the opportunity to start a company with two other amazing visual thinkers and independent contractors Dusty Folwarzcny and Ryan Robinson. We talked for months about how we wanted to approach things and what our vision would be. In October of 2011, we launched Ink Factory out of Ryan's live/work loft in Chicago. We've grown the business now to 11 full-time employees and continue to work towards accomplishing our vision. Which is a world where visuals are the universal language.     The journey has been a blast. The clients, the places we have been, the friends we have made - it's all been amazing. And a lot of hard work.      We will be celebrating our 9th birthday this year!!      My role at Ink Factory is currently COO. I oversee the day-to-day operations and internal strategies, manage the financials, and oversee a team of three administrative support. As a small business, you tend to wear a lot of hats. And this could not be more true for me. I am a visual note-taker at heart. I love to deliver work and work directly with clients. I am also project manager for events, handle HR operations, and can often be called the Chief Prank Officer. Never a dull moment at Ink Factory.      I would love to talk about Think Like Ink. Which is our educational arm of Ink Factory. 2020 was going to be our year for teaching in-person workshops. We even built out a brand new studio to facilitate this. However, 2020 had different plans. Like with any sour situation, we are looking for the silver lining, and the silver lining with the shutdown has been the ability to offer our workshop across time zones and borders. We've been able to teach just over 20 workshops this year and have global representation in each workshop.      I love to bring levity to any situation and my favorite color is grey!   Get a 20% off for Ink Factory's workshops with this discount code:   20-OFF-TLI       Reach out on social media we love to connect:    insta: inkfactorystudio  twitter: the_ink_factory mine the blog for great tips and tricks at inkfactoystudio.com facebook: Ink Factory Studio     SUPPORT THE PODCAST   This show is brought to you by the Visual Thinking and Sketchnoting Boot Camp Udemyonline course developed for you by Yuri Malishenko.
