This gorgeous, fully illustrated handbook tells the story of sketchnotes - why and how you can use them to capture your thinking visually, remember key information more clearly, and share what you've captured with others. Author Mike Rohde shows you how to incorporate sketchnoting techniques into your note-taking process - regardless of your artistic abilities - to help you better process the information that you are hearing and seeing through drawing, and to actually have fun taking notes.

*The Sketchnote Handbook* explains and illustrates practical sketchnote techniques for taking visual notes at your own pace as well as in real time during meetings and events. Rhode also addresses most people's fear of drawing by showing, step-by-step, how to quickly draw people, faces, type, and simple objects for effective and fast sketchnoting. The book looks like a peek into the author's private sketchnote journal, but it functions like a beginner's guide to sketchnoting with easy-to-follow instructions for drawing out your notes that will leave you itching to attend a meeting just so you can draw about it.

Good. I'm just not sure I'm even enough of a rudimentary artist to make this work for me. Perhaps with practice...but I think I need to concentrate first on basic handwriting.

Seems like a great idea, but I don't currently have any uses for it. Once I get back to going to talk, conferences, etc., I'll definitely start using this method for note taking.

Amazing book that gives you enough to start sketchnoting without ever looking back!
