Live Scribing

Updated Aug 2024.

'Live scribing' is a term for having artwork created live during an event. It has other names like visual minutes, sketch noting, graphic recording and graphic facilitation. It's the process of capturing a live event as engaging colourful visuals. It can take various forms;

• Capturing a speaker's words as visuals as they deliver their talk at a conference
• Working with a team at a company away day, turning feedback into posters
• Capturing company core values as spoken notes and turning them into highly polished illustrations

Live art is a great way to create engagement during and help teams/attendees retain information after an event has taken place. (90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual.) Live art is a great way to enhance the impact and takeaways from an event.
With the live art I create for clients, all artwork is owned by the clients once created, to be used however needed.
