I tried to build on the recipe metaphor that I began the sketch with, but found it difficult to extend beyond an initial decorative headline.

I opted for accuracy and completeness over being too clever! As a UX designer I found these kinds of experiments inspiring, which made sketching them even more fun! Lightning Talks: Josh Davis, R. I suppose theyre quirky! I feel like Ive learned a lot since these days though. Microinteractions Dan Saffer UX Australia Melbourne, August This presentation was littered with amusing anecdotes of when the microinteractions of a digital product made or broke the users experience.

From mobile phones ringing during orchestral performances to unexplored territory in wearable technology, Dans talk had it all. My biggest challenge in capturing it was deciding what to leave out. Designing Successful Experiences for Bald Apes Dan Willis UX Australia Melbourne, August Dans talk was a refreshing take on the importance of sticking to ones principles, even when operating in an enterprise environment where the precedent for compromise may have been paved years prior to your project.

Both reflective and forward-looking, his presentation took the audience on a journey and inspired us all to revisit why it is that we do what we do. Im quite proud of the degree that this sketch managed to capture that sentiment. The idea of using a paper portfolio as a container for information only came to me later in the presentation, otherwise I might have taken more advantage of this as a visual device! Some presenters tackled this challenge by mostly ignoring the slides, while others demonstrated a remarkable ability to ad lib and make connections to each slide while weaving a common thread.

My sketchnotes reflected these varying degrees of cohesion! While this isnt going to be the case for most sketchnotes, I do think it gave me an advantage in that I didnt need to spend any time comprehending the material; I was just listening to it, organising it, and capturing it, all the while nodding and affirming my own understanding of the subject matter. Not because he came across as jaded or anything; far from it. His confidence and surety was masterful, and the entire talk was a fantastic reminder of the ways that we can make meetings more engaging, useful and efficient.

It was great to see graphic facilitation get a mention! Matt and Rob explained that this is not the case; that it is actually an invaluable tool for gaining behavioural data from your products user base. There were plenty of visual cues throughout the talk to use in my sketchnote, so I took these as gifts and replicated them liberally throughout.

As a result, I got lazy and resorted to free association of key points as I heard them, creating structure simply by drawing containers around each phrase and linking them together with line and colour. Im okay with knowing that not every sketch is going to be a perfectly metaphor-rich work of art! I still captured the main points, and a handful of images mean the sketch is still interesting to the eye.

I enjoy seeing how other practitioners operate, the problems theyve faced, and how they have navigated those challenges. I chose a winding path layout for Chriss talk, which allowed me to begin with his smiling face, meander across the page, and end in the bottom right. Design at Scale Greg Petroff UX Australia Sydney, August Gregs talk had a very clear structure he mentioned at the start that he would be covering six main areas , so dissecting the page into six segments made sense.

I could have arranged these containers to be of roughly equal size and shape, but I opted to let the sketch for each take a fluid form, and draw in the dotted line dividers afterwards.

It meant I didnt have to cram pictures into spaces for which there was not enough room, andto me, at leastit looks more visually interesting. It was also wellstructured, which means that mapping it onto the page was relatively easy for me. There were a couple of diagrams that I pinched at the start tip: use your camera phone if theres a chance the slide wont be on screen for long enough to transcribe but I also had the opportunity to introduce my own imagery later, once my brain had processed the content!

While the presenters didnt explicitly answer the question posed by the title of their talk, they did embark on a thoughtful reflection upon what it means to create delight. The learnings that they shared from that journey made for a great presentation. The Cadence of Great Experiences Michelle Berryman UX Australia Sydney, August Michelles talk about cadence was filled with wonderful diagrams that communicated the concept of cadence in a digital product in ways that I hadnt seen before.

So, while I included some of my own imagery, I did lean heavily on transposing a couple of these diagrams. Im glad I did; I still find these diagrams conjure new ways of thinking about user experience design.

While it was difficult, it was ultimately helpful being forced to apply more thought to what I was listening to in order to create my own imagery. Copying visuals from a presenters slides can become a crutch! An oft-levelled criticism of the technology giant is that they are too reliant upon data to make good design decisions, but this presentation shed light on how Googles data drives their understanding of user behaviour to degrees that were previously considered unfathomable.

Looking back over this sketch, I can still recall feeling Inspired, scared and fascinated, all at the same time. So much so that at one point I was immersed in the theatre of it all and actually forgot that I was supposed to be sketching; a credit to the presenters skill in holding attention.

Luckily I managed to work through the buffer of what Id absorbed, speed up, and fill the page with tidbits of advice for UX practitioners, and other related imagery. I loved that his entire talk centred around one specific design problem, delving into the details of this single challenge while still reinforcing universal design principles.

Luke Chambers UX Australia Sydney, August This sketch of Lukes hands-on session about graphic facilitation was unique in that we alternated projection of my live sketching via a document camera hovering over my notepad and Lukes Keynote slides and activities onto the screen throughout the session.
