Brad Colbow's "It's the Little Things" from Jen Myers

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.

LeanUX from Thinknow by Ross Belmont

Quick sketchnote from Thinknow's presentation at LuxCHI by Ross Belmont. Love how he captured the essence of it... now that is a lean sketchnote!

Sketchnotes Workshop in San Francisco w/ Alexis Finch

Here's a great opportunity to learn sketchnoting from Alexis Finch, in San Francisco on January 17th and/or 31st, 2012 at pariSoma Innovation Loft:

Sketchnotes are a visual form of note-taking that can include drawings, various lettering sizes and styles, color, icons, arrows, boxes and more — whatever works for you. And the best part is that you don’t have to be a creative genius to do it. It’s called Sketchnoting, not Art School!

This class has three sessions. Students may take just one session but are encouraged to take all three of the series as they build upon each other. Those with a visual arts background will still benefit as a certain looseness is needed for rapid sketching, which we will be covering in this class. To purchase a ticket for just one of the sessions, click here and choose the right date. For attending the complete class-series, you can purchase it on this eventbrite site.

We will be listening to RadioLab WNYC as our source material for sketchnote practice.
