What is Graphic Harvesting?

Graphic harvesting is a creative visual response to complex social and environmental issues. A series of drawings and mind maps are made in response to a presentation at a conference or workshop - this can either be live, produced ahead of time or after the event. The key points are documented in a vibrant and engaging way. The illustrations help participants retain the important information from the presentation, and can be used on team stationery, as posters in meeting rooms, in annual reports, and many other applications.

Although much of the joy of graphic harvesting is in the final outcome, the magic is really in the process. Participants watch as the problems, stories and ideas they are so familiar with take on new forms and make connections with other ideas and stories, perhaps making different outcomes imaginable, and therefore possible.

hOW IT WORKS

For the daily rate you will receive up to 7 hours of live graphic harvesting at your event. You will receive a set of high resolution photographs of the harvesting that can be shared as part of the conference report, in annual reports, on social media, and displayed in the workspace after the conference.
