Tremendousness hosts a creative interactive event in which attendees collaborate to create a shareable visual narrative. This story will highlight some things that each person loves about St. Louis. This could come to life as The Perfect Day in STL, Must-See Places, Hidden Gems, etc. We’ll facilitate small groups and teach everyone some core Visual Thinking techniques, including live sketching, visual frameworks, and strategic visual discovery exercises such as Empathy Maps.
Each group will brainstorm and prioritize ideas, and create sketches to present back to the group. At the end of the session we expect the collective effort to come together to become a “napkin sketch” for a final visual artifact promoting the best of the city we love! (deliverable is TBD but will be something like an infographic poster, map, or a deck of cards). Whatever the output, it will be full of everyone’s favorite things to do in STL, contributed by many different people through a fun, hands-on, creative process. Afterward, we will document the event, package the collective narrative, and make this “Session Capture” and its visual artifact available to (all) STL Design Week attendees.

And then usually another time, when the first time looks weird. Darrick graduated Magna cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.
