Lovely type-strong sketchnotes from the lovely Carolyn Sewell, captured at TEDx Penn Quarter 2011. I admire the richness Carolyn achieves in her sketchnote work.

This popped into my Facebook feed the other day, an animated GIF of Anna Saraceno, an Indiana University masters student, mind mapping her masters thesis topic. I have always wanted to do something like this! Time lapses are so much fun, especially with sketchnotes and mind maps. Great job, Anna! And thanks, Grant, for taking the photos!
Final version of the mind map below...

Hello fellow sketchnoters!
I am Binaebi Akah, experience designer in Columbus Ohio and the new-ish curator here at the Sketchnote Army blog. I joined the team silently back in October or November 2011, I can't remember which, to help Mike with the daunting adventure of highlighting all the great sketchnoters coming out of the woodwork these days.
Mike invited me to talk about my latest major sketchnote project, a book meant to inspire and empower people to begin their sketchnoting journey. I released the Sketchnotes: A Field Guide for the Busy Yet Inspired Professional with co-author Charlene McBride in early January 2012.
The book covers topics such as: materials, visual vocabulary and frameworks, making connections, making things stand out, pulling main points, listening for what resonates, recognizing and using structure, page layout, discovering your style, developing your own language, sharing, and more.
You can order your PDF and/or print copy via Lulu for under $10. Charlene and I left our contact information in the back of the book so you can tell us how your sketchnoting experience is going. Social media is your friend!
Hope to peek over your shoulder while you sketchnote in the near future!
This is Binaebi, over and out.

One of Jen Myers' first sketchnotes, this from Brad Colbow's It's the Little Things talk at CodeMash. Great example that shows how a sketchnote can be two pens, a couple outlines/arrows/boxes, and words and still be super engaging.

Loving this bold red and black sketchnote captured at Eurosonic Noorderslag by Erik van der Pluijm, creative director for Business Models, Inc.
From Erik's blog post about the sketchnote:
Sketchnotes are a really interesting visual way to capture a story. They are made live, as the story is told. An image can capture a huge amount of information. It is much easier to re-tell the story using sketchnotes than it would be using written notes, as the images help you to remember what has been said. More clues for the brain means better recollection! Don’t you want to keep your story alive and fresh?
Great work Erik!
