Have you ever seen a sketchnote? It’s when a person sketches and takes notes, often live, to bring research, public service announcements and TED talks to life. It is a powerful visual tool that engages audiences and makes the content of the lecture more accessible and easy to understand. You can use this powerful tool in your own work. This workshop will show you how. Presented at JSF SciComm on October 26th, 2021. https://japanscicom.github.io/ Follow CJ on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/chostett

8. Sharpen Your Listening Skills

9. Sketchnoting requires us to move both our
brains and our hands.
This means we are limited to capturing only as
much information as our hands can produce.

10. The benefit of this is that we are forced to
focus on the most important takeaways of the
talk.

11. 1. What does the audience I’m writing for want to
know about this talk?
2. What are the key takeaways? (usually ~3)
3. What are things I can represent in images rather
than text?
Ask yourself...

12. How to Start Sketching

13. There are five basic shapes used for sketchnoting...

14. ...and we combine them to make shapes.

16. Don’t focus on
drawing well at first.
Sketchnoting is all
about listening and
speed.
