Introduction to Sketchnoting for Improved UX Design | Online

About this class

Note-taking is a natural skill we all use to expand our mind—so natural that we rarely think of ways to extract all the benefits it has to offer. With an emphasis on visual thinking, sketchnoting, a method popular amongst user experience designers, provides a way of extracting more value from your notes. In this workshop, we’ll introduce the fundamentals of sketchnoting and provide a frame of understanding through live exercises and practice.

Takeaways

• Understanding the benefits and flexibility of sketchnotes.
• Adopt sketchnoting as a way of extending your existing note-taking skills to enhance learning, recall, creative thinking, and communication
• How to implement sketchnoting in your daily routine.
• Gain confidence in developing sketchnotes as a daily habit.
