Have a look at Michelle Malot’s sketchnotes from the Influencer Project.
Here’s her brief description:
HDYI created these sketchnotes during the Influencer Project conference. Influencer Project is the shortest marketing conference featuring 60 thoughts leaders in 60 minutes.

A nice set of sketchnotes by Christopher Knaus from an Edward Tufte appearance in Portland.
Christopher writes “viznotes from the Tufte course in PDX. I find when presentations are visual my notes wind up being more text – and vice versa.”
Be sure to check out Christopher’s viznotes set as well.
I love these ‘Near-Life Experience’ sketchnotes by Lea Hernandez. Check out the full set on Flickr.
Lea sent a note last week, sharing how doing sketchnotes helped free her from creative block. I asked it would be cool to share her story and she agreed. Here it is:
“I used to do something very much like sketchnotes, a comic called Near-Life Experience, where I wrote down what was in my head, with drawings and words. The response was good. And then I choked. I started to over-plan. The comics became a chore. I put enormous pressure on myself, I vapor-locked and I couldn’t draw the comic any more.
Fast forward to less than two weeks ago. I meet sketchnotes, and I’m enchanted and excited. I have a pen, and a 3.5 x 5.5 Moleskine. I take them to the pool, and start writing and drawing and before I know it, I have four effortless pages of drawing and writing (and an endearingly dreadful drawing of the pool). And I feel great, the best I’ve felt in months.
Funny, all I had to do was call them something besides comics, take them out of this place full of self-inflicted unhappiness and pressure, and I’m drawing happily again.”
Thanks Lea for sharing your work and your story!
