The Power Of Visual Storytelling

As human beings we’re hardwired to respond to stories. Through stories we make sense of the world.

As visual beings we’re hardwired to respond to visual stimuli. More of your brain is dedicated to the processing of visual information than any other sense.

So if you’ve got an idea to share or a story to tell, you’d be leaving a lot of potential unused if you don’t add some visual elements into your storytelling process.

The Power Of Sketchnote Videos

When you bring static images into your process for sharing ideas, your audience with thank you.

When you add in video with sketchnoted elements, your audience will love you.

With video, you engage not only the eye but the ear as well.

And instead of being overwhelmed with the complexity of a completed visual, your viewers will get to see that visual come to life. They’ll get to see the progression from a blank page to a full set of sketched ideas.

7.1 Sketchnote Videos on an iPad with Procreate

Within this course I’ll take you behind the scenes as I show you every step of the process in creating these episodes of Sketchnote School:

My name is Doug Neill, and here’s a bit of my background:

• As an undergraduate at Willamette University in Oregon I studied Physics and Spanish, spent a year living abroad, and discovered how much I loved learning and teaching.
• In 2011 I received a Master of Arts in Teaching from Pacific University, with secondary certifications in Math, Science, and ESL.
• That same year I got pulled into the world of visual thinking and documented my skill development over at The Graphic Recorder. That work led to freelance sketchnoting gigs with Nike, Concordia University, the radio program On Being, and author Chris Guillebeau, among others.
• I launched Verbal To Visual in 2013 to help others develop their sketchnoting skills, and have built six courses to date, each of which focuses on a different application of this skill.
