Learn to capture presentations and other content as well as take expressive meeting notes in real time by combining text and sketches
With just a few well-thought-out sketches, it's possible to bring even the most abstract ideas to life. The art of sketchnoting gives designer and author Eva-Lotta Lamm the opportunity to approach a theme from a comprehensive perspective and discover connections between a whole host of apparently unrelated concepts. In this online course, she shows you how to use drawings as a practical tool to understand, contemplate, and communicate more efficiently.
Alongside Eva-Lotta, learn a new method of note-taking for meetings, videos, and other sources of information using sketchnotes. She reveals everything you need, from simple drawing skills to a mastery of composition and visual hierarchy on paper, along with how to filter and capture content and find appropriate images or metaphors. Discover how to boost your visual thought processes to learn new techniques, understand things around you, emphasize structure, and express concepts clearly.

Gostei demais do curso! A forma como Eva-Lotta Lamm ensina sketchnoting torna muito fácil captar e organizar ideias de maneira visual e prática. O conteúdo vai além do básico, mostrando como usar desenhos e metáforas para estruturar informações de forma clara. Recomendo para quem quer aprimorar o pensamento visual e tornar suas anotações mais expressivas!

PlusDer Kurs ist wunderbar aufgebaut und geht Schritt für Schritt durch die Themen, sodass sich ein gutes Grundgefühl aufbauen kann. Ich finde es auch schön, dass sie an mehreren Stellen immer wieder Mut macht, dass es ein Prozess ist und man nicht zu kritisch sein soll - egal, wo man einsteigt. Die Unterthemen sind sehr gut gegliedert und das Abschlussbeispiel am Ende auch hilfreich und inspirierend - vor allem die Haltung und Logik dahinter: "keep it simple" :)
