- GETTING STARTED
- Tools of the trade
- At the event • Get a good seat with a clear view • Have your pens handy (it’s distracting for others if you scrabble around in your bag!)
- Listening and live sketching • Listen for key points you’ll want to re-visit* • Great quotes? What would you tweet? • What images pop into your head? Don’t be afraid to try sketching them. • Don’t stress if you don’t catch everything! *a good speaker lays out the structure of their talk at the start
- Structure Path Molecule Grid Vertical Clouds
- People Lo-fidelity Hi(gher)-fidelity Expressive Different body sizes Seated Active Hands Characterful
- Objects
- Containers

- Top 10 Tips 1. Practise often! TED & UX talks, Meet Ups 2. Always carry a sketchbook & pens to events 3. Add title & speaker name before the talk, or leave space to complete them later 4. Think like a designer: structure & flow, proximity & grouping, size, colour & contrast 5. Don’t panic if you miss something! Transcribe 2-3 words, leave space & refer to slides later
- Top 10 Tips 6. Watch the time & space you have left 7. Use shading to turn mistakes into something else (or scan & edit in Photoshop!) 8. Add event name & Twitter handle 9. Don’t use reverse of pages & add a blank sheet between pages (prevent bleed through) 10. Relax, be creative & above all, enjoy yourself!
