‘Illustration Translations'
Enhance the effectiveness and productivity of your professional gathering with graphic recording.
Graphic recording (or live illustration) is a visual summary of the ideas expressed in conferences, meetings, talks and workshops.
It is a performance, taking place in the room or remotely, using traditional materials or a digital tablet, to produce a map of drawings and words that can enhance a collective event in many ways…

Why Graphic Recording?
Information overload and attention fatigue is a problem for any gathering in any industry. Get a graphic recording artist in the room, and you’ve immediately increased the entertainment and engagement factor.
Real time information capture, in a visual form, interacts with the perceptions and experience of those in the room, watching.
Live illustration can be used as a tool to not only document the information exchange, but to aid the facilitation of the event.
The graphic map created can deepen engagement with the material, clarify the event's goals, stimulate memories and feelings and assist the implementation of follow-ups.
Graphic recording creates information art that your audience will want to look at it.
