Four leaders in the art of sketchnoting, all recognized for their visual note-taking skills are coming together for this 2.5 hour hands-on workshop to teach you the techniques they’ve used for years. Sketchnoting is a visual note-taking process that allows you to capture information more vividly during meetings and events. In this workshop you'll learn:
1. Better internalization and recollection of information through visual thinking
2. How to quickly doodle/sketch people, faces, type and simple objects
3. How to combine the techniques above in real-time to weave together the story that's told in a working session or presentation.
You'll leave this workshop having learned the fundamentals you need to quickly and effectively capture information as it’s shared in the moment -- all in time for your next session.
Prerequisites:
- None.
What to Bring:
- Just bring your favorite pen and a notebook or sketchpad!
