Example: Benefits of Sketchnoting

Slide Content

The PowerPoint slide presents several benefits of sketchnoting, creatively illustrated by icons and connected with arrows. "Stimulates brain" suggests that sketchnoting can engage cognitive functions. "Releases creativity" implies that this method can unlock creative potential. "Fast note-taking" refers to the quick capturing of information. "Helps to organize knowledge" might be about structuring information for better recall. "Improves learning" indicates an enhancement in understanding and retaining concepts. "Helps to see a big picture" points to an overview understanding that sketchnoting can provide. Each benefit is visually associated with an icon that embodies the concept.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is a soft orange gradient.
• Seven main graphical elements (icons and text) are arranged in a circular flow around the slide.
• Arrows connect each element to suggest a cycle or process.
• Icons are hand-drawn sketches that represent each benefit of sketchnoting:
• A brain for "Stimulates brain."
• A light bulb for "Releases creativity."
• A notepad for "Fast note-taking."
• A stack of books for "Helps to organize knowledge."
• A graduation cap for "Improves learning."
• An eye for "Helps to see a big picture."
• The text is a casual handwritten font that complements the sketch-like icons.
• The icons and text are in purple, creating a contrasting and engaging color scheme.

The slide's visual composition uses a central circular motion to guide the viewer's eye through the benefits of sketchnoting. The hand-drawn style of the icons and text provides a cohesive and thematic aesthetic, which underscores the creative and informal nature of sketchnoting.
