I take notes all the time. I carry a paper notebook with me that I use at meetings, workshops and conferences. I also use it as a diary and for capturing ideas. After reading The Sketchnote Handbook: the illustrated guide to visual note taking recently, I decided to give sketchnoting a try at the third Dutch Exploratory Workshop in Testing that took place over the weekend 20 – 21 April 2013.
In preparation of the workshop I draw a poster. I used this exercise to select a convenient pen and other materials. With an almost empty visual library, I was left with only my imagination. The results are below.

Thanks, Ruud! This post has encouraged me to buy the same book and try sketchnotes as well. I’ll post some when I get some practice 🙂
