Graphic Recordings of the SXSW keynotes
Did you notice the woman at the front left of hall A during the keynotes, working in pastels and marker on a giant sheet of paper to diagram the talks as the unfolded?
Sunni Brown is an information design expert who creates Graphic Recordings of live events through her business BrightSpot Information Design. She graphically recorded each of the keynotes at SXSW (surprisingly, there’s no messiness or blood on the Zuckerburg one). You can follow the work here:
Staring at the completed Facebook one, (reproduced in closeup above) I had a hard time believing it was not sketched out in advance and the lines and visuals filled in as the talk progressed. But with the interview format, she had to make it all up on the fly. I haven’t checked closely yet to see
This is amazing work. Both that she can convert concepts to visuals so quickly and effectively and in the clarity and energy of the results.

Thanks for blogging about this amazing work. I like the clarity and energy. Her Frank Warren notes have reminded me of what otherwise I would have forgotten.
My sister rocks, doesn’t she? Not too many folks out there doing this kind of work.
That Sunni Brown is something else. Thanks for spreading the word on her tremendous talent!
