Visual acuity—the ability to see more in what you experience
Visual literacy—expressing yourself clearly and accurately with sketches
Graphic analysis—using sketches to analyze observations
Numerous examples demonstrate some of the many uses of visual notes. They help you develop a keener awareness of environments, solve design problems, and even get more out of lectures and presentations. The authors also discuss types of notebooks suitable for taking visual notes.
