What if you could transform dense, overwhelming information into a clean, one-page visual that highlights what actually matters but… Without being “the creative type” or knowing how to draw?

I’ll show you it’s possible! This course shows you how to use Google Gemini to convert any concept into a structured, engaging sketchnote (even if your artistic skills stop at stick figures). Instead of staring at walls of text, you’ll learn how to guide AI to think clearly, structure information properly, and then translate it into visuals that are easy to scan, remember, and share.

I’ll show you how to:

Break down complex topics for different audiences
Shape explanations so they’re simple but not shallow
Turn structured summaries into visual layouts
Refine and edit your sketchnotes without starting from scratch!
Transform PDFs, meeting notes, and even YouTube videos into stunning visual summaries

In this course, I don’t just show you the basic workflow: I’ll walk you through my favorite sketchnote styles, share my advanced prompts, and give you access to a 50+ page document packed with ready-to-use prompt frameworks you can adapt to any topic! You won’t be guessing what to write, you’ll have a structured system in your hands :)

You’ll also explore why Gemini’s image creation workflow gives you more creative control compared to tools like NotebookLM.

Who this course is for:

Anyone who thinks, “I love the idea of sketchnotes… but I can’t draw.”
Creators who want more engaging visual content
Teachers who want clearer visual explanations
Students who want better memory retention
Professionals drowning in long documents

What you’ll practice

You’ll:

Choose a topic that actually matters to you
Generate a clear explanation tailored to a specific audience
Convert it into a visual sketchnote
Critically evaluate layout, structure, and clarity
Improve it using targeted editing prompts

You’ll also experiment with advanced workflows like:

Turning long PDFs into structured visual summaries
Converting YouTube videos into brain-friendly visuals
Iterating on existing sketchnotes without losing design consistency

What makes this different

You’ll learn a repeatable, step-by-step system:

Activate structured thinking
Control explanation depth
Translate knowledge into visuals
Edit strategically
Refine until it feels right!

If you’ve ever wanted your notes to feel more like a comic page than a legal document, this is your workflow.

By the end, you’ll be able to turn almost anything into a clean, visual sketchnote you’re genuinely proud to share :)

This course is also a powerful tool for content creators who want to stand out visually. Sketchnotes created with Google Gemini work brilliantly on social media, whether you’re posting educational carousels on Instagram, short-form breakdowns on TikTok, or visual summaries inside your YouTube videos. Instead of another wall of text, you’ll be able to turn your ideas into scroll-stopping, shareable visuals that actually grab attention and communicate value fast!
