Tapestry 2016 Recap

Update: The 2016 Tapestry videos have been posted and you can find my talk embedded below. 

First things first: Here are my sketchnotes from the conference. The speakers all had very different styles, which made it a fun challenge to try and capture the entire thing in a cohesive way. 

Tapestry Conference Sketchnotes from Catherine Madden

Next up, the slides from my talk, "The Power of Drawing (the verb) in Visual Storytelling"

Drawing + Visual Storytelling from Catherine Madden

And here is the video of my talk in case you'd like to see it in action. **UPDATE: The video is having trouble loading, but you can find it on the Tapestry 2016 Archive Page. 

Special thanks to Andy Cotgreave who did some sketchnotes of his own during my talk!

Great quote from @catmule’s #tapestryconf talk. Sketching is way more helpful than polish to get useful feedback. pic.twitter.com/LKx1kMpNBV
