Official sketchnotes from Clarity Conference 2017
A design systems conference in San Francisco | Nov 28–29, 2017
Organized by Jina Anne for the second time, Clarity Conference this year brought together folks from all over the world for an amazing 3 days of all things design systems.
As the conference sketchnoter, I felt lucky to share my love of visual note-taking by capturing the insightful talks we heard from leaders and experts in the field 😊
Below are the sketchnotes from all 12 talks for you to browse! 🎉
Process
I sketched these notes in real time during the talks and posted them on Twitter as each speaker wrapped up 🙌 The notes here were scanned and digitally retouched to maintain the greys and color contrast from the original paper sketchnotes. All original sketchnotes were gifted to the speakers at the end of the conference.
Tools used: Maruman F4 All Purpose Sketch Pad, Tombow Dual Brush Pens N89/N95/N75, Prismacolor Fine Line Marker (08), Pentel Fude Touch Brush Sign Pen, Sharpie Fine Permanent Marker, Photoshop
