The Life of a Graphic Facilitator | Tote Bag

The Life of a Graphic Facilitator is a simple and funny comic book to explain what a graphic facilitator does.

On November 20th 2015, we published on Facebook a series of illustrations about the quirks of being a graphic facilitator. We started just for fun, because we heard the same anecdotes so many times from our colleagues around the world, delivering the work we do.

After publishing the first few comics on Facebook, we received many comments that made us realize that our experiences are, in fact, common among our worldwide peers. Realizing we had many more stories to share, we decided it would be fun to draw more of them and collect them in a book. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign ended on October 5th 2016, we successfully funded 103% of our project, collecting €8.782 from 168 backers.

This tote bag was one of the rewards given to the backers together with the book.
