Narrative Diagrams

Empower your creative mind and explore the power of the diagram.

Bring clarity to your thought process
Improve your visual communication skills
Present information with clarity
Draw with confidence

Diagrams are a direct and accessible means of describing the world as we perceive it.
To create a compelling diagram we need a deep understanding of our subject, and an ability to organise information logically.

In this course, participants draw on their existing knowledge to create a structured snapshot of the world. Diagrams come in many forms, from family trees to timelines, bubble diagrams to flowcharts. By applying these organising principles, participants reveal truths that would otherwise be hidden.

Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will have learned:

A methodical process for producing clear diagrams
How their brains store data and make connections
How to select appropriate organising structures
How to communicate visual ideas effectively
Greater confidence in hand drawing

Target Audience

This course was first created for professional architects, delivered as in-house CPD.

It has since been developed to suit diverse groups including project managers, teachers, students, children, and amateurs.

The course is ideal for anyone wishing to improve their communication skills.
