Why Vector Illustration is the Best Choice for Digital Graphic Note-Taking

Live graphic note-taking—also called sketchnoting or visual recording—turns spoken ideas into engaging, easy-to-understand visuals. Whether used for business meetings, creative workshops, or educational events, this technique makes information more memorable. But for the best results, vector-based illustration is the way to go.
