How to sketchnote
–MARY OLIVER, “SOMETIMES” “Instructions for living a life: Pay attention.
Be astonished. Tell about it.” sketchnoting
Pay attention
It’s not about drawing. It’s about listening.
Follow the speaker, not the slides.
Listen for key points.
Live coding: don’t do it.
Use post-it notes to retain ideas.
Be astonished
Capture what stands out to you.
Carolyn Sewell // carolynsewell.com
Jessica Eldredge // jessica-eldredge.com
Jokes. Quotes. F-bombs!
Erin Hawkins // erinmchardy.com
