So, what is Live Graphic Recording?

Live Graphic Recording is the art of translating conversations into a visual map, real-time!

Where does this happen?

This type of Live Illustration can happen at any event, conference, meeting or workshop!

And here's the real twist...

The attendees can see the visual notes building real-time, or we can share my canvas at the end of the event!

Benefits of Digital Graphic Recording

There are so many benefits to booking a Graphic Recording Artist to create eye-catching visual notes of your event...

For an Engaging and Memorable event

These visual notes make any in-person, hybrid, or virtual event far more engaging and memorable for everyone involved. A Graphic Recorder sharing their screen in real-time is quite the sight!

Summarizes Key Takeaways

Many of us are visual learners and, by capturing the key takeaways, these digital graphics help participants remember what took place at the event. Having a graphic record of an event is an invaluable asset

Inspires
Conversations

The visual notes can be used long after the meeting to inspire and to continue conversations. In some cases we create wonderful infographics based around these visual summaries

Allows for easy and Effective Sharing

Thanks to this visual documentation, the event will live on as the final piece is shared with attendees, everyone on social media, and used for further promotional and educational purposes

Choose from a wide range of styles when it comes to Live Graphic Recording!

Let's find the one that works best for you!

Every event is different and I always make sure to tailor the style and approach to your content and to your audience!

What does a Keynote Artist do?

I'm present throughout the event,
and create as it's happening

I'm listening for the key ideas to illustrate, arrange, and connect them along the way.

My goal is to build a engaging, logical and witty Visual Map of the key takeaways!

Other names for a Keynote Artist include Graphic Recorder, Live Illustrator, Scribe, Sketchnote artist, and Visual Note-taker

Live Graphic Recording Session by Session

Sometimes the aim of Graphic Recording is to 'record' as much of the information as possible

...if that's the case, we can approach a conference session by session.

Visual Conference Summaries

 a Visual Summary of the Conference!

The following Visual Notes were created during NHS Conferences I was invited to capture. As these conferences usually have several sessions happening simultaneously, instead of illustrating each session, we decided to take a different approach and create..

Would your content or event benefit from something different?

Visual Note-taking, the Artist's Way

When Sketchnoting is not an option...

Some conversations need something different - cartoonlike sketchnotes, or even stick figures feel inappropriate at more sensitive conversations. So I'm occasionally given complete artistic freedom where I get to focus on the feelings and the energy of a conversation and portray it in my own unique, personal style.

Here's what that can look like!

Verba volant, scripta manent',

- latin proverb -

"Spoken words fly away, written ones remain"
