World Sketchnote Day began in 2016 by founders Mike Rohde and Mauro Toselli. These two people alongside a small group of designers and producers created the company, called Sketchnote Army, to help showcase sketchnotes and their artists from around the world.
The event itself showcases talented artists each through social media competitions, where people who love to sketch and combine that with notes or reminder can get featured on their website. From there, interviews, podcasts, and blog posts are made to broadcast these artists, learn about their history, and see why they sketch the way they do.
Sketchnoting is a form of visual note-taking that allows people to remember their ideas better and become a lot more creative with their notes. One of the reasons why sketchnoting is important is because, for some people, it helps them remember better what facts or ideas to know or think about later.
Sketchnoting isn’t just visual. It incorporates a wide arrangement of words and pictures to create memory techniques. On this holiday, people show off their notes and talk about their methods so that way people can learn from them and appreciate their work.
