At SXSW Interactive, all of the keynote addresses were “recorded” by artists to document the discussion in real-time. The conference also offered several sessions on visual note taking to help people learn how to solve problems and communicate through simple drawings. According to wikipedia, “visual thinking is the common phenomenon of thinking through visual processing using the part of the brain that is emotional and creative to organize information in an intuitive and simultaneous way.”
In the “Pen and Paper Tools” session, I learned why visual notes are used:
