Sketchnoting Practice : Working BIG [March 2015]

Details

** ALERT ** This Session has been rescheduled, from Mon Mar 16 to Mon Mar 23. The new location is listed below.

Ever wonder about making sketchnotes that are larger-than-life?*

At this session we'll practice working BIG on whiteboards and large paper!

We'll start with a quick intro to large-format visual notetaking, do some warm-ups and then live capture TED talks. Between each talk we'll have a 'round-the-room gallery to learn from each other and discuss our process.

If you're new to sketchnoting, this is a big and brazen way to get started. For folks with visual notetaking experience, this is a fantastic way to expand your personal practice and experiment with how to work in large-format. All skill levels welcome!
