Taking notes at presentations takes on a new level of creativity at this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference thanks to Ogilvy Notes.  At most of the main presentations, an artist from a company called ImageThink takes real-time notes at the presentation on big panels of foam core.


For example, if you went to see Guy Kawasaki's engaging presentation titled The Art of Enchantment, this is what you saw on stage.

Just off to the side of the stage was a woman taking visual notes.  It looked like this:

And later on, you could see the poster outside the presentation hall.  There were even 11x17" copies you could take with you.  Here's what the final notes from Kawasaki's presentation looked liked.

And here are a couple more examples of boards from other presentations.
