I have been a big fan of Mike Rohde and his Sketchnotes for a few years now. Every now and again I would try my hand at sketchnoting, but never made any serious study of the art. So, when Mike published an illustrated guide on how to take these very interesting and endlessly useful visual notes, I just had to have the book. It’s a very easy read and includes some simple drawing lessons that have actually helped me wrap my head around how to transition from words to images. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning how to create sketchnotes, because it really is a fun way to take notes and document conferences and meetings. I don’t have any big events coming up, so I have decided to start practicing by watching some TED talks on YouTube and seeing if I can sharpen my skills at home before I take on a real live event!
