What is Graphic Recording for Events?

Written by Lina Navickaitė
Category Scribing

Graphic Recording transforms real-time discussions and processes into dynamic visual content. Also known as live scribing or visual facilitation, this interactive service helps businesses capture and preserve the most valuable moments of their events. A skilled illustrator joins your event to create live illustrations, visually documenting key meeting content as it happens.

How Does Graphic Recording Work?

We offer graphic recording services in two main ways. First, there’s on-site graphic recording, where our artist joins your event at the location, painting or drawing on large canvases or boards. Then, there’s digital graphic recording, which is perfect for virtual events or remote participants. Using tools like drawing tablets or laptops, we create vibrant visuals in real time, even if we’re miles away.

Not sure which option suits your needs? Reach out to us, and we’ll guide you through the possibilities and help you decide what works best for your event.

Why Choose Graphic Recording for Events?

Brands choose Graphic Recording because it captures content visually, enhancing both engagement and retention. While spoken ideas can quickly fade, turning them into visuals brings them to life. This is where Graphic Facilitation excels. Our artists visually track discussions, document processes, and illustrate breakthroughs in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand.

During your event, we create visuals in real-time, which not only enhances the learning experience but also doubles audience engagement and memory retention. Listening to ideas is great, but seeing them unfold visually makes a lasting impact.

How Can Graphic Recording Transform Your Event?

There are three main ways to incorporate Graphic Recording into your event:

  1. Content Documentation: Accurately record content from discussions, speaker presentations, debates, or strategy sessions.
  2. Audience Engagement: Facilitate interactive conversations by illustrating ideas, opinions, and views shared during the event.
  3. Graphic Facilitation: Elevate the experience by having the artist guide discussions. By visually mapping ideas and outcomes, the facilitator assists the team in achieving their goals while ensuring the process is visually captivating.

These methods promise a multidimensional learning experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Embracing Digital Graphic Recording for Virtual Events

As virtual events and remote work become the norm, Digital Graphic Recording, also known as Virtual Scribing, takes visual facilitation to the next level. By using cutting-edge tools, we provide efficient and engaging visuals for online events.

This service synthesises, captures, and presents your event content visually, ensuring it’s easily shareable with both internal teams and external audiences. Post-event, these visuals can enhance marketing materials, enrich social media content, or feature in booklets and reports. Combining words and visuals creates a compelling and memorable event summary.

What’s the Benefit of an Event Visual Summary?

By choosing Visual Recording, you’ll not only engage your audience during the event but also walk away with a tangible record of everything discussed. Our digital event summaries are easy to share, print, and use for future reference. The finished vector artwork serves as both a keepsake and a tool for recalling and recapping critical moments, helping your business move forward with newfound clarity and ideas.

Brands also use these visuals for marketing, leveraging their unique style to educate and inspire audiences long after the event ends.

How Can We Help as Graphic Recorders?

WWe bridge the gap between illustrators and graphic designers by blending the simplicity of illustration with the precision of design. Our primary focus is to communicate effectively with your audience, not just create visually appealing art. Each piece is crafted to help viewers absorb and remember the content, rather than being an unreadable collection of scribbles.

We also prioritise finalising your event artwork with options for iterations and reviews to ensure the visuals align with your brand’s style. Our team combines illustration, graphic design, and copywriting expertise to deliver a polished product that exceeds expectations.
