Virtual - Intro to Product Design | Getting Started with Visual Note-taking

Curious about visual note-taking? Join Flatiron School as one of our lead product design instructors walks us through the basics.

Whether you call it visual note-taking, sketch-noting, or graphic facilitation, you’ve probably seen it in action; from someone on YouTube or in the front of the room capturing the session with illustrations, callouts, banners, and other design elements. It’s a great way to communicate your concepts to others as well as reinforce your own learning. And you don’t need to know how to draw!

What You’ll Learn

• Learn some clear and simple visual elements that you can use to communicate almost any concept and summarize any meeting
• Practice a variety of clear and easy sketch-noting techniques in real time
• Discover free resources proven to help you develop your sketch-noting skills
• Increase your confidence in your ability to communicate on the job by using quick sketches to bring your ideas and designs to life

Who is the workshop for?

No experience is required to attend! If you’ve had some experience with design in general, there is still a lot to learn from this workshop. This is a no-strings-attached opportunity for you to gain design knowledge and find out if product design is something you’re passionate about. Just show up, and learn something new!
