Visual Thinking

.

Have you heard of Visual Thinking before?

Well, as fan of MindMaps I have heard of it before. Maybe you have come across it also?

I have found this site recently on which you can read more about Visual Thinking and Sketchnotes. To give you a quick idea, Craighton Berman, the author, describes it as follows:

.

Simply put, sketchnotes are visual notes that are drawn in real time. Through the use of images, text, and diagrams, these notes take advantage of the “visual thinker” mind’s penchant for make sense of—and understanding—information with pictures.

… This kind of note taking has an obvious appeal for both the coverage of the event as well as the aesthetic quality of getting a peek inside someone’s sketchbook—but good sketchnotes are actually much more than a set of beautiful doodles.

.

.

There a lots of pictures from a number of Sketchnoters too. The concept is relatively easy: instead of writing down notes the usual way, sketchnoters are capturing “the meaningful bits as text and drawings”.

And what would be simpler that using a Moleskine for it?

When I made you curious, please check out Craighton’s first and second article:

• Sketchnotes: Visual thinking (the Basics)
• Sketchnotes: The Basics for Visual Notetaking

Let’s find out if you are ready for Sketchnoting …!

I am sure Craighton will continue this little serious, so stay tuned.
