My work were kind enough to send me to this year’s dConstruct, held at the Brighton Dome on the 2nd September. As usual, I sketchnoted and you can see the results in this blog post. Generally, I found the quality of the talks to be better than I expected. There was a couple I wasn’t a big fan of and a couple that I really loved - Don Norman, Frank Chimero. 

In terms of sketchnoting, I found the length of the talks a little short for my sketchbook. The 45 minute talks were about right for a full page, the 30 minute talks were a little short. For a change, these were mostly Tombow‘d post talk. I miss the time that is normally used for questions!
