Deck from the Sketchnotes-SF meetup, in February at Neo [http://www.neo.com/]. We practiced sketchnoting skills and talked through the resulting work. We started with warm-ups and rapid rounds, then jumped into sketchnoting a short TED talk. Details on the meetup at: http://www.meetup.com/Sketchnotes-SF/events/220135276/
