5 Steps to Change your Note Taking
I've recently been speaking at a few conferences and I thought I'd try out a new format... instead of using slides, I live sketched my presentation and invited people to sketch along, learning the basic priniciples of sketchnoting while they where doing it themselves and walking away with a nice sketched summary of the talk.
I think it worked out quite well, but you can judge for yourself as the talks were recorded. You can find the recording from Smashing Conference Freiburg here. The one from Frontend conf in Zurich is embedded below.
And here is the final 'slide' from my talk:
The live-drawn version of the talk.
A live sketchnoted summary of how to do sketchnotes. A bit meta :)
I also gave a German version of the talk for a Carlsen Verlag in Hamburg. Unfortunately there is no video recording, but at least the final sketch.
Update May 2019: I now made a nicely sketched summary of the talk as a printable PDF or a beautiful offset print on heavy card stock. Both versions are available in my shop.
When I give the talk, I also ask the audience to sketch along and tweet their final sketchnotes of the talk. It is great to see the resulting variety of people's work. Below are a few examples.
If you are sketching along to the video, why not share you sketchnote on twitter or instagram and mention me (@evalottchen) so I can see what you did. :)
