In this video series, I’ll offer a design walk-through of my bestselling book, The Sketchnote Handbook. I will share never-before-shared insights into my inspiration for the book, my creative process, and why I designed this book the way I did.
Episode Two: Chapter Two
This video covers chapter two of The Sketchnote Handbook and includes new details about its creation that I have never shared, like:
Inspiration for convincing readers of WHY they should go to the trouble of sketchnoting versus only writing notes or not creating notes!
Dual Coding theory and the importance of blending verbal and visual for better learning comprehension through sketchnoting.
How visual maps can reawaken detailed ideas.
Sharing limited research from 2012 on visual thinking.
Graphic design and layout choices for page coloration.
How flow state and sketchnoting interact.
Why sketchnoting may be extra work, but it can be lots of fun!
And more…
I will continue this video series with the remaining five chapters and publish them here at Sketchnote Lab and on YouTube.
