Sketchy Solutions

Sketchy Solutions Sketchy Solutions helps you communicate better through the help of hand-drawn visualisations: graphic recording, sketches or communication material. Hi!
(7)

My name is Filippo Buzzini and I can help you learn and communicate better through visual communication. A picture says more than a 1000 words and representing learnings graphically is a very efficient and effective way of getting your message through. With Sketchy Solutions, I offer hand-drawn custom made solutions for your organisation, business or institution. I can offer:

Graphic recording: t

he translation of conversations into images and text on large sheets of paper during meetings, trainings, conferences and events. The advantage of this method is that at the end of the event there is a tangible, clear result to present to the participants/public right away. Graphic facilitation: the process that helps groups and individuals towards a goal through the visualisation of challenges, objectives and tasks. The method is used in various processes such as meetings, seminars, workshops and conferences. Original communication solutions: hand-drawn flyers, poster or any other communication product. I can draw simple yet attractive products that can help you, for example, to advertise a product or to disseminate the results of a project in a graphic way. All these solutions are available in English, French, German and Italian. If you have any question or you wish to get in touch about a project, you can contact me at [email protected].

Online lettering workshop series 'Sketchy style' coming to you this December. Save the dates!

Do you want to learn some of my signature lettering styles? If yes, join me on my first online workshop series before the turn of the year.

Through 4 interactive 90 minutes sessions, you can learn step-by-step how to letter in four different styles I often use in my work: 'This one'; 'That one'; 'Another one' and 'The one' (yes, I put a lot of thought in naming them).

The lettering styles are complementary and they all build up to being able to master 'The one', but the sessions can also be booked individually.

When? Every Tuesday in December before the holidays. From 19:30 to 21:00 CEST.

How much does it cost?
Normal price: CHF* 60.00 per workshop or CHF 150.00 for all four.
Early bird price** (until 31 October): CHF 45.00 per workshop or CHF 120.00 for all four.

Stay tuned and hope to share some sketchiness with you in December!

*CHF 1.00 (Swiss Francs) is nearly the same as EUR 1.00 or USD 1.00.

** I haven't set up the sign up page yet, so if you want to participate and take advantage of the early bird price just write me a DM.

Sketchy 2022 - pictures and video highlights of Sketchy Solutions' 2022

A year again dominated by graphic recordings, 35 days in total and in 5 languages (English, German, Swiss German, French and Italian) but with a growing amount of strategic visualisations.

A year where I tested again new grounds: among others I drew the cover-art for a book and developed 5 fonts.

A year where the line between work and life blurred even more, fortunately resulting in an improved work-life balance: I both lived wonderful personal experienced during professional encounters (such as a brainstorming session on the beach in Spain) and managed to take advantage of my professional skills to make personal dreams come true (such as helping me get to Antarctica for a reasonable price and being able to do graphic recordings on the 7th Continent).

Let's hope for more of the same to come!

a heartfelt thank you to all the clients, colleagues and friends who supported me, collaborated with me and allowed me to look back at the last professional year with a smile 🙂

Wishing everyone a 2023 rich in new learnings, successful experiences and happy sketchy moments 🍀🚀🖍️

How is it possible that racism still persists? And what can be done to counter it in an intersectional way?

These are the questions that led the Fachstelle für Rassismusbekämpfung FRB to develop recommendations on action strategies and approaches for combating the structural roots of racism. during their conference "Reden wir! Und jetzt?"

My task was then to create a strategic visualisation of those strategies (including some context on FRB on the left side) in German, French and Italian.

It makes me happy to be able to contribute to such relevant work. Racism should have no place in today's world but the reality is that there is still quite some work to do if we want to create an inclusive society with equal access to opportunities and protection from discrimination for everyone.

it has been a busy and very inspiring week at the Adventure Travel World Summit, organized by the Adventure Travel Trade Association in the city of Lugano (Switzerland).

as a keen adventure traveller myself, I sometimes felt like a kid in a candy shop.

it was the first time the meeting took place in person since three years and the buzz and positive vibrations were to be felt everywhere.

i graphic recorded 5 sessions in three days on very interesting topics such as providing excellent digital experiences, sustainability and extending the freedom to roam.

Many many thanks to Alice Gifford for the opportunity. Congratulations for setting up a beautiful and relevant experience for all participants.

If anyone appreciated my work, I am open to discuss collaborations, so please feel free to reach out!

It has been a busy last couple of weeks for me, as I could not follow up with posting regularly, here is a wrap-up of some of the non-confidential work.

Reach out if you are considering a graphic recording for your conference/event/workshop, I still have some availability from now until mid-November!

In September I did the graphic recording of the conference for the 20th anniversary of the DOJ/AFAJ (Dachverband Offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit Schweiz) in Bern, where using the fishbowl method, they looked back during three rounds at the origins of the organisation, today's stand, and innovative approaches looking forward.

This was followed by a digital graphic recording of the Visite project from the Swiss Foundation for Arts, Culture and History, where in a workshop setting the participants looked for ways to modernise and make more inclusive the Museum Chüechlihus in Langnau.

The following week I graphic recorded the Barcamp sessions of the 'Oser l'échange' event in Biel, organised by Movetia to share good practices in mobility and exchange programmes for schools.

That same week I provided an online course on the basic elements of visual communication to a small but very motivated group of participants from Eurodesk Luxembourg before finishing it off with the graphic recording of a keynote and a panel discussion on planetary boundaries and the role of enterprises in contributing towards the Sustainable Development Goals during the Swiss Impact Forum organised by B Lab Switzerland.

I love how my job allows me to get insights into many different fields of practice, topics and working methods. I never stop learning new things and am always willing to take on new challenges.

Many thanks to all the clients for your trust and very pleasant collaboration!

Do you want to add an hand-drawn feeling to the titles and texts in your Powerpoint presentations, Procreate and InDesign projects or any other visual product? Now you can!

I have designed four different Sketchy font types that can help you steer away from the boring mechanical fonts that we are accustomed to. The image below combined the four and was made using Microsoft Word.

The fonts have been specifically designed with visual practitioners, facilitators, coaches and everyone who could benefit from a more hand-drawn text output in mind.

Each font has been designed to be 'double', in the sense that it will look different if used all uppercase or all lowercase.

You can download them individually (CHF 19.90) or as a bundle with all four (CHF 49.90). They are now available as a Desktop version and for iOS on my Gumroad page: https://sketchysolutions.gumroad.com/

Another multilingual graphic recording (DE, EN and FR) about the future of the media and communication sector organised by the Federal Office of Communications OFCOM.

The topic was extremely interesting as it oulined which trends are to expect in the three main fields of responsibility of the Office: Telecommunications, Media and Post.

Another trilingual graphic recording. For the first time I had the opportunity to work live in the three official languages of Switzerland: German, French and Italian.

The topic of the conference organised by Movetia and the
Schweizerisches Zentrum für die Mittelschule (ZEM CES) was a very fitting one for this kind of endeavour as it tackled "Exchanges in bilingual educational paths".

A very insightful event that shed light on what's the stand in the country of bilingual exchanges and education, what needs to be done, which opportunities are available as well as providing concrete best practices and a broader look on interculturality and global citizenship.

Hey! Did you know that I have created some fonts?

In the video below you get a sneak-peak on them. At the moment you can find them exclusively on www.drawify.com. You can now add an 'hand-drawn feeling' to your presentations and stories.

Soon I will start selling them. What do you think of them? Would you be interested in having them?

It was a pleasure to graphic record the BNE Praxistag of education21ch again.

This year the topic was: "Education for Sustainable Development makes you strong". After a very interesting input on what participation is and how it should be a goal in education, the participants were split into 6 workshops where the could exchange on concrete aspects of sustainability in education.

Join us for a week full of lettering this October!

You can learn from some of the best in the field how to boost your lettering: starting with some tols and warm-up with Heather Martinez, then digging into blocklettering with Romana Moser before learning how to make your words 'speak' and convey emotions with Pavo Ivković. After that, Ben Tinker will show you how to add depth to your lettern bringing them to the third dimension and I will finish by showing you how to twist, turn and pimp your letters to give them a true street look.

It was a pleasure to do another graphic recording for Umwelt- und Gesundheitsschutz Zürich in the context of the about agriculture in the city.

I did not know that the City of Zürich was managing several farms, which are social, multifuncional and sustainable.

Happy to being able to contribute to this nice project.

It's wonderful to see the pictures of my work hanging in Cameroonian streets 🤩

I once again partnered with Equal Access International's programme Voices For Peace to help them promote a TV soap opera.

I illustrated some of the content and the main characters around the three topics and challenges covered in their play: radicalisation, resilience and covid-19.

Proud to be working on such a relevant project.

Last week I had the pleasure to graphic record the conference EN ROUTE, which promotes political education and the active citizenship of young people in all fields of life.

Two days of inspiration and the validation of the 'Declaration of Biel', defining 10 thesis aimed at strengthening political education in Switzerland (such as 'Young people should join in more in the political conversation' or 'Political education should be anchored within the school system') as well as concrete measures to enable those thesis at national, cantonal and communal level.

Find out all about the conference, the Declaration of Biel and my full graphic recording here: https://lnkd.in/dEebPBz

Thanks a lot to all the beautiful Campus für Demokratie team for the opportunity, the kindness and the lovely collaboration :-)

It was wonderful to finally hit the large paper for a graphic recording again! Last time was in October.

And for the first time, a full day recording in three languages! 🥳

(swipe right to see the whole recording)

'Leave No One Behind' was the topic of this year's Forum Nachhaltige Entwicklung. Through keynotes, Impulse talks, labs and reflections the day focused on how can Switzerland reach the SDGs in an inclusive, collaborative and coordinated way.

Thank you Bundesamt für Raumentwicklung ARE for the great opportunity!

It was a great pleasure to digitally graphic record at the 21st Swiss Global Change Day organised by the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT).

Two very insightful keynotes and a panel discussion on the topic of collaboration between politics and scientific community in tackling two major challenges of today's society: the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change.

I guess what I've learnt the most during this pandemic is to adapt.

There are some things that we cannot change and we need to seize the opportunity to try out new things and to challenge ourselves.

With this mindset, when asked by the CUSO (Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale) about the workshop on visual communication in research for geography PhD students : 'Can we do this online?' My answer was: 'I' ve never done this but YES!'

Now, this posed me many challenges. Yes I have been working mostly online for over a year now and have what I can now call a sound experience in both digital graphic recordings as well as online events and workshops altogether. However, my experience of visual communication workshops, where I teach the fundamental aspects of the craft, was one of highly participative and hands-on workshops where at the end of the day the walls would be full of drawings and colour made by the participants and myself. A place where the mere presence and products of each person provides an inspiration to all and contributes to a common sense of achievement.

Somehow it worked out and the feedback was overall very positive! It was not the same, but we did it 🥳

Thank you Isabelle and Luc for the great support and opportunity!
