Honored to be in Kim Baer's updated Information Design Workbook. - I’ve been drawing with clients using #graphicrecording to create visual instructions. Order at amzn.to/3EqBYVY  for all the case studies, theories & best practices that Kim has put together.

I had a thrilling time capturing EY's head of AI and his talk at the UWEBC conference in Madison. Truly a captivating hour with no slide deck, just up to date anecdotes from the front lines of how AI is rolled out at one of the big four consulting firms.

@davidcbaker Because nobody reads the employee handbook?

Your culture is the permission structure that guides you during the more difficult decisions.

@AlexOsterwalder When capturing a conference as a #graphicrecorder the hallway conversations are many times what the client/industry really want/need

Conferences are an expensive happening if you consider the salary costs of hundreds of expensive execs attending. How much value is actually derived from these panels and how much from the meetings in the hallway… I’m wondering about ROI 🤔 #Pharma2023

@Coss1Coss Steve, Frank DeKova was probably more suited to The Godfather, than F Troop.

When I worked in the ad biz and we wanted to cast a celeb in a commercial, we just threw names against the wall to see what stuck. Always imagined the movie folks were more scientific about it. I was wrong.

@EddieMuller @jamesoliphant Actual data: Nice to see The Poseidon Adventure beat out The Lord of the Rings ($514m vs $513m, Adj. Lifetime Gross) boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_life…

@jamesoliphant This is all bullshit. If it was based on tickets sold and not dollars this list would be very different.

This is not a great list

@davegray @Procreate micro doses of dopamine... ❤️

Social media hits those dopamine receptors, generates endorphins, and feels so good… it’s a continuous experiment in for-profit addiction, and we are the lab rats! #dailyart made with @procreate

@davidcbaker Excellent use of extremely simple visual storytelling

Had a 6-acre fire yesterday. Some workers started a small brush fire (green)...and then left it...in 35 mph winds (blue arrow). We, and 6 fire trucks, got it stopped at the base of the evergreens (red), saving 4 homes.

@AlexOsterwalder @tendayiviki BestBuy (geek squad + bloaty inferior PCs) vs Gateway retail (in 2001, 300+ locations )

My colleague @tendayiviki is looking for Top10 examples where Business Model Innovation beat better tech: eg Wii vs Playstation eg VHS vs Betamax Any other examples?

@davidcbaker Consistent tone and brand through the decades youtu.be/2klmuggOElE

I loved listening to this.

The Kansas vote is an example of what I've said before in response to gloom and doom Twitterizing. History shows us that things can change suddenly and in unexpected ways, for better or for worse. The fight is always worth it, whatever the pundits and "experts" might think.

@NASAWebb claimed this new #WebbSpaceTelescope image represents a, "slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground." #UnfoldTheUniverse

@davidcbaker @blairenns In control: don’t start projects without money in hand

Cash flow issues are a real thing, but some of you folks are saying “cash flow“ because it sounds more benign and out of your control than “profitability.” The truth is always your friend, as @blairenns so eloquently states.

@andybudd Adobe Creative Cloud answers the call @AccentureSong @DeloitteDigital

Every designer wants to “do more strategy.” Few designers understand what “doing more strategy” actually entails. Even fewer have demonstrated any obvious aptitude for strategy. As such “do more strategy” really translates as “do less actual production work.”

@davidcbaker Specialist in groundwork, an expert if you will… branded its own name its expertise 🕳 !

This little bastard groundhog has been digging the foundation out right from under the barn, even when I put heavy rocks over the holes. Grrr. But cantaloupe is their weakness. David: 1; Groundhog: 0.

@mitchjoel @Twitter @Meta @LinkedIn Anywhere that's not a screen?

If there were no @twitter @Meta @LinkedIn, etc… where would we go to complain about the way their founders build, or to share our own stories, perspectives and lives?

@davidcbaker Or non-reaction to earlier trends

If you want to have a little fun, contrast the public's reaction to Bezos and WaPo vs. Musk and Twitter.

@artinstitutechi nice show! - if you revise this show, @NevilleBrody needs his own wall (and mention beyond credit line) An art director can have the footprint of an artist… esp in Brody’s case - Subscribe: Artists and Alternative Magazines 1970-1995

@austinkleon Great interview podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sma…

You should be able to pick a different Ken Burns narrator the way you can choose a different Siri voice

Congrats!! 💪🏽💪🏽 @KUHoops

@denshewman That’s why it’s easy to be an author/artist in the Northern Midwest, work in a room in the winter with a Northern window, less light,,, even more depressing, but productive! 🎨✍🏼🎼📚

YES!
