One-Shot – A Quick Guide to Sketchnoting
summary
Sketchnoting claims to boost comprehension versus laptops citing a 2014 study where longhand note-takers score higher though laptop users transcribe more verbatim. It breaks into three practical parts: text, color, images/icons, with tactics like varying size and palette (Adobe Color, Color Hunt) and layout tricks (containers, comic-strip flow, infographic compression). Try two exercises: write ABCs for one minute to force intent and use Google Quick Draw to build icon fluency. Tools range from paper and Copic markers to iPad, Surface or Android tablets.
