SKETCHNOTETIP SHEET

Want to bring sketchnoting into your classroom, or simply try it out for yourself? Use these tips on the basic set up of a sketchnote and popular visual tools.

GET STARTED MAKE IT MEMORABLE

1. CHOOSE A MEDIUM

2. START WITH A DRAFT

3. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

2. CONTAINERS

1. STRUCTURAL GRAPHICS

3. BASIC DRAWINGS

4. FUN LETTERING STYLES

Will you create your sketchnote with pen and paper or stylus and tablet?

Paths, diagrams and numbered boxes help you organize your page as a whole.

Speech bubbles, frames, clouds, bullet point lists and arrows help you organize specific thoughts.

Something as simple as a smiley face or a stick figure can add expression to your notes.

Call attention to words or quotes by switching between cursive, bold, all caps and any other fun lettering styles that seem natural to you.

You don’t have to create your sketchnote all at once: jot down quick notes during a lecture, and “fill it in” with expressive lettering and simple drawings.

Try sketchnoting in low-pressure situations, like while watching a TED talk or a documentary.
