Drawnalism: What IS it?

Drawnalism is a service that needs to be seen in action to be fully understood. We know this because of the number of descriptions we have heard of what we do. We've drawn several below.

Back in the Baltic

Having only visited the Baltic for the first time a couple of months ago, this week I once again found my back on a plane bound for the north. This time my destination was Turku in Finland, for the closing seminar of the Central Baltic INTERREG programme.

Bluelightcamp 2014

One other highlight of Bluelightcamp 2014 was the impressive demonstration of a drone inside the elegant atrium of the venue at the Ordnance Survey in Southampton. You can watch a video of that here.

Free Lunch!

It is sometimes said there is no such thing as a free lunch, but last Friday I had one. There is such a thing as a free lunch... as long as you know where to find it! was a free seminar organised by Meji Media and Ice7Media for events organisers, held at thestudio in Birmingham city centre.

Drawnalism - up against the wall

We get some lovely feedback from our customers sometimes and especially when it is from ones who use Alec Guinness as their online avatar. Arguably, the message above lacked only a hashtag #FeelTheForce.

The Baltic states and a big, blank sheet...

I've travelled extensively for Drawnalism in the last few years but my my first visit to the Baltic states was memorable. The organisers of the one-day event at which I was working had set up a huge three metre long board with an accompanying sheet of paper.
