How Giant Websites Design For You.

I did my first sketch note based on the TED talk “How giant websites design for you” from Margaret Gould Stewart, Facebook’s director of product design. I´m going to describe my experience about sketching for the first time.

But first, you can see the video



It wasn't the first time I heard about sketch, I usually take notes with little draws, it´s easier for me to learn with visual elements. But in these case It was the first time I sketch “live note-taking”, was so difficult when I started.

I couldn't take notes, and pay attention to the video at the same time.

I began to only make some drawings about the important topics, the amount of people in Facebook, the like button, some representative therms, the essence of the video.

And… (drums please) this is the result

A little bit (too much) colorfull, but understandable, at least for me.

I think I missed more text, words that firm up the concept of the video, but to be the first time doing something like this I think it wasn't a bad attempt.

I realice it´s an practice that help me to learn. I will improve it.
