Graphic recording

benefits

In addition to the "wow" effect of the performance, graphic recording, also known as "live scribing" :

• accelerates understanding and helps with remembering the content,

• creates an emotional bond with the audience

• encourages action

This brings an exceptional opportunity to make your event stand out over time because you can communicate the content in an original way. For example, not only can you broadcast the digital output to conference participants or showcase it on your media platforms, but you can also print and display the mural on your premises, reuse it for another event, etc. You can keep your message out there for longer.

examples

Graphic recording is suitable for many types of events, including:

• conference

• participative workshops

• world cafés

• public consultations

• interviews, needs analyses

• seminars

• conferences

• forums

• strategy meetings

• brainstorming

• webinars

my personal touch

I prefer large formats to give an overview of the subject and highlight the overall structure (or lack of it), the convergences and divergences, and the coherences and inconsistencies. I select white backgrounds, which provide clarity and lightness and save on ink and therefore, reduce the ecological impact. I also like to sketch the speakers’ portraits when circumstances and time allow.

What's next: graphics recordings based on artificial intelligence?

the practicalities

Before: We meet, face-to-face or online, to identify your objectives and select the best options for organising the logistics. There are several options, as follows:

• paper fresco

• digital fresco

• rigid panels

• face-to-face

• remote

During: I bring all the necessary equipment (markers, paper, graphic tablet etc.) and sit in the room so I can be present for the process without disturbing the presenters. If you wish, at the end of the event, I can present the conclusions based on the drawing.

Afterwards, I'll send you the digital HD version and, if there is one, the original paper version. A paper fresco can be laminated and/or glued onto a rigid support, while a digital fresco can be printed in various formats, copies and supports. The aim is to maximise the impact of your event and the longevity of your message.
