A review by accusatori
The Sketchnote Handbook: The Illustrated Guide to Visual Note Taking by Mike Rohde

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

Pretty good! Reviewing my notes, though, it feels a bit light on specific, practical ways to use sketch notes. I would’ve liked more pages that discussed how to use sketch notes in different settings (like taking notes from a book, listening to a podcast, or for idea generator rather than recording). The further the book went on, there was a strange feeling that these sketch notes were not for “taking notes” at all, but for creating things to show others. I’m all for sharing them, but I was hoping for a little more referenc-y or analysis-y material. There’s a second book, so maybe some of that is included there (or available online; there certainly seems to be a big sketchnote community, so I’m sure someone’s blogged about this before).
