Benefits of Using Images
Pairing text with images and colour helps people remember your content. Images engage both the visual and verbal channels of the brain, thereby making stronger connections. As a result, there are higher rates of information retention and
Live Graphic Recording Drawn Up as finished Artwork
Have you had us, or someone else, do a live Graphic Recording event with you?
With Graphic Recording events you always end up with digital or paper copies of the artwork. This usually includes retaining ownership rights over the Recording.
As one of our eight Graphic Recording services, we can have this artwork redrawn, as a finished, high quality, commercial artwork.
This artwork could then be used any way you wish. For example, it could be used in training and educational materials, promotions or web and social media.
Unlike most graphic recorders, we are happy to use our studio skills to do a finished commercial version for you.
This is a common request amongst our clients and is a separately quoted job, after the event. We usually recommend the client waits until after the event to decide if they wish to use this service.
This is one way the finished artwork, from the live event, can be reused to meet your organization's needs.

Customized Infographic, Mind and Visual Maps
Infographics are a powerful way of translating ideas, strategies, and data as visual devices. They are particularly good at capturing complex processes visually. Infographics use pictures, icons, banners and words to create diagrams or maps. They are particularly helpful with engaging audiences, through the use of visuals, to aid memory recall of specific information.
Infographics can take many forms. These include the following: -
- Visually mapping out processes, models, and systems.
- Mapping timelines and history of businesses, organizations or methods. This form of media can acknowledge previous work done as well as the projected future, all in one visual that offers an overall perspective.
It can also be a good way of noting significant events and milestones for an individual or organization. - Visual Maps covering both ‘learning’ and ‘changing’ aspects, can show visually, both the processes needed and their format, leading to an understanding of what is needing to be learned and what needs to be put into action to bring about change.
- Journey Maps are like timelines but focus on the challenges and opportunities people experience in a service, program or system.
The benefits of using Infographics Graphic Recording services include being able to: -
- explain visually why changes are needed in an organization
- help communicate the vision of an organization
- represent the journey of a group
- review an organization
- market and share ideas
- be used internally and externally
- help with decision making and reviewing processes
- inspire creative thinking
- help gain new perspectives
- clarify structure and goals within an organization or business
Pre-Created Graphic Recordings Templates for Live Events
If budget or convenience is an issue, there are three alternative Graphic Recording services on offer.
- A pre-created, completed Graphic Recording, that is a stand-alone piece of artwork.
- A pre-created Graphic Recording that is designed to be interactive, with spaces for the presenters and/or audiences to add into, on the day of the event.
- Pre-created Graphic Recording templates, available in our Shop, under the Graphic Recording Materials category - see link below.
This pre-created artwork can be as simple or complicated as the presenter and organizers want. They can be tailored to the specific usage planned. The usage options include, capturing audience feedback; recording reflections and thoughts on the day as a message board; or capturing a specific presentation or facilitator-led discussion.

Training and Education Mascots
Another one of our Graphic Recording services is the use of a symbol or character. The style can be cartoon - based, more mainstream, symbolic or another style.
It will depend on the tone of the project and what type of subject matter is needing to be conveyed.
Using a symbol or mascot can be a great way to pull together a program or educational material, as a focal point for an audience.
A character or mascot can be used as a presenter of ideas and a visual hook for remembering the information conveyed and shared. The character can also be presented as acting out the points needing to be communicated. For example, both good and bad outcomes of processes, services or specific actions.
The benefit of a character is that the audience will automatically relate to the character, which makes the information more personal and memorable.
A number of clients have used characters across a wide range of training and information programs, with great effect.

Cartoons And Illustrations For Trainings Or Presentations
Professionally drawn - up cartoon images, to give your material a unique look that stands out, is another one of our Graphic Recording services on offer.
These images can be simply an illustration or a cartoon with captions. Either way, they can be a great way to capture the attention of and stimulate those looking at the image.
A sequence of images showing a scenario, such as a comic strip or comic book, is another option. These images can be used to set the tone of the meeting, presentation, or educational material.
They can be used throughout the duration of the project to reinforce certain points or visually clarify a point. They can simply be representational in a more serious or symbolic way.
Alternatively, involve humour! It has been proven that the use of humour enhances the ability for people to learn and retain information.
The combination of picture symbol and humour found in Cartooning is highly effective as a means of communicating information to the audience.
This is particularly significant for dealing with complex or challenging information that needs to be communicated.
