I recently bought the book, The Sketchnote Handbook as well as its pdf version and although the book was scheduled to release on November 30, the PDF was made available for download early so I got a chance to read the book and get started on my sketchnoting practice.
One of the things I like about the book is the section that has exercises for sketching. I ordered the hard copy of the book but it’s so beautiful that I might never use the exercise pages for practice 🙂 Good thing OneNote has a feature that allows you to create templates for your notes. I’ve basically taken screen shots of the exercise pages and pasted them on a note and saved it as a template.
it’s pretty easy to do on OneNote 2013. Once you have the page laid out the way you want it, go to Insert –> Pages –>Page Templates (page templates again) and menu should come out on the right hand side.
At the bottom most part, there is a link to save current page as a template. Just click on in, name it what you want, and you should have the new template saved and ready for use.
