What is sketchnoting?

Sketchnoting, also commonly referred to as visual notetaking, is the creative and graphic process through which an individual can record their thoughts with the use of illustrations, symbols, structures, and texts. The technique combines graphics with the traditional method of using text. The result is information that is captured and communicated visually and artistically. I use sketchnoting mostly during university lectures and at conferences but also during work meetings or any event I go with a pen and my sketchbook.
