TedxCardiff 2012 – sketchnotes

It has been a busy few weeks with sketchnotes for me, lots of interesting talks to learn from. I haven’t been to the previous TedxCardiff talks so I was pretty excited to get a ticket to this year’s event – especially as the tickets sold out in 19 minutes.

If you would like to know more about the session, visit this blog post summarising the talk and discussion form the night.

I like festivals: you are guaranteed to have a selection of visual snippets, tasty (or not so tasty) morsels. I find it rejuvenating to wander around the smaller exhibits, seeing the work of independent and up and coming designers who often have great ideas to show. And all the unexpected discoveries to be made on the way – that’s my kind of day out and about.

My colleagues from Stills went to 100% Design on Thursday, so I decided I would plan to see “all the other stuff” over the weekend. On Friday I started my trek at the Viaduct showroom in Clerkenwell. Their New Modernists exhibition struck a chord with me as I’ve always had a soft spot for simple, clean and clever design. Read more…
