Start simple shapes
Use boxes, circles, arrows, and stick figures; skip complex art.
Structure the page
Divide into sections or panels; leave space for connections.
Use icons sparingly
Add small icons for key ideas to improve recall.
Keep it legible
Write big enough, use limited colors, and review soon after.
