Pricing for Live Visual Note-taking of a Day
Visual Conference Summary Rates
My latest approach to Live Illustration has been quite popular; it summarizes the entire conference day on one canvas!
Unlike the session by session capturing approach, this one leaves enough time and space for me to go into more artistic detail.

Why choose Virtual Graphic Recording?Virtual Graphic Recording has many amazing benefits. I've found it's not very well-known that almost any conference can enjoy Real-time Illustration... even if the artist is miles away! Thanks to our Virtual Graphic Recording setup, we can tune in from anywhere, while you see our canvas projected right there at your event. Magic! ✨ When I get a request for Live Graphic Recording, I follow up with some questions to evaluate what would benefit that event the most, and whether there would be added value by an artist being there in-person. So here are the main reasons why you might want to try Virtual Live Illustration for your next event Virtual Graphic Recording is more Cost Effective Having an Graphic Recording Artist tune in virtually can be more subtle Having a Graphic Recorder tune in virtually can end up being a better surprise! Virtual Graphic Recording is Inclusive Virtual Graphic Recording is Environmentally Friendly When it comes to Virtual Graphic Recording, you can work with any Visual Note-taking Artist in the world Enjoy the full article on the benefits of Virtual Graphic Recording!

How much does Graphic Recording cost?Event rates for Live Scribing / Graphic Recording currently range from £700 to £2200 The cost will vary depending on many factors, such as the number of sessions to capture, whether the event is remote or in-person, and if it's to be captured in real-time or from a recording Virtual Graphic Recording can cut costs significantly compared to in-person, as we can skip all the costs associated with travelling to the event (especially when they're overseas!) I'm happy to chat and together we can find the best approach that serves your event within the scope of your budget! I've written a detailed article on Graphic Recording Rates & Fees!
-

Can I request a Quick Quote for Live Graphic Recording?Absolutely! In order to give you a quote, I'll need to know a little about what you’re looking for and how many sessions you'd like recorded. My rates are flexible to reflect the nature of the event and various factors, such as: - Number of hours to Graphic Record - Remote or in-person event Illustration (the latter includes travel costs) - Capturing in real-time or from a recording - Combining with other graphic projects supporting the event Send me a message and we'll figure something out!

What is the difference between Graphic Recording, Scribing, Visual Note-taking, and Live Illustration?To be honest, not much! It's such a niche profession, we do it in many ways, and have many names for it Graphic Recording and Scribing are one and the same, the former is more common in the US and Canada, while the latter is commonly used in the UK Some of us prefer to call what we do Visual Note-taking or Live Illustration. I personally believe these are easier to understand for those who have never heard of it Visual Facilitation may cover Graphic Recording, but generally means a more interactive approach - when we help design or lead a workshop with visual tools So don't worry, these are all used interchangeably!
-
Can we create Live Illustrations based on Recordings of an event?Has your event already taken place, but you'd like a Visual Summary of the key ideas? No worries - if you have an audio or video recording of the main sessions or talks, I can absolutely work with that! All the Visual Notes above can be created based on audio or video recordings as well and the costs may be reduced, as the timing is more flexible!
-
I need a Live Illustrator for a conference held in London next week. Is that possible?Ideally, we need a couple of weeks to prepare for Live Illustration, especially if the Conference is in person and requires travelling. The service generally includes a Creative Planning Call, a Branded Digital Template, and a Technical Rehearsal prior to the event, and these all contribute to the overall success of the event visualization! That's not to say it's not possible, especially if you happen to get in touch at the right time - so send me a message and we'll explore our options!
-
Would you be willing to travel to the USA to be our Graphic Recorder at our Conference in San Francisco?If you'd like me to travel to the US and are happy to cover my travel expenses, I'm there! Many of my clients are from the States, as that's where my Graphic Recording business started. Thankfully, Virtual Graphic Recording has allowed us to continue our creative collaboration, even when travelling isn't an option, as I can now join to Graphic Record conferences based in the States from anywhere in the world.
-

How does Virtual Graphic Recording work? Can you join my event via Zoom?Whether your event is online, hybrid, or in person, as long as you have a computer and reliable internet, we should have no problem setting up for a Virtual Graphic Recording! I'm able to share my canvas directly to your Zoom screen (just like we would share a Presentation) and to share my screen with your attendees in the room, you'll just have to connect the computer to the projector! At it's simplest form, we can set up a virtual meeting (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc.) and set the computer up to make sure the speakers are audible. Does this sound too complicated? No worries, it's easier done than said. That is why we usually have a brief technical rehearsal before the event! Although I've had many successful Graphic Recording sessions on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and other online event platforms, Zoom has proven to be the most reliable one when it comes to high quality screen sharing during Live Illustration.
-
What type of Events use Graphic Recording?As a Graphic Recorder, I get to join Keynote Speeches, Annual Conferences, Kick-Off Conferences, Board Meetings, Leadership Meetings, Innovation Meetings, Strategy Meetings and Workshops, Product Launches, Round Table Sessions, Panel Discussions, Market Research Meetings, Webinars, Galas, Award Ceremonies ...basically anything with a great monologue or conversation happening! Many of these remain confidential after the events, but you can find great Graphic Recording examples on my website. If Graphic Recording is not an option - say, too many sessions at once - , you might want to consider creating a Visual Conference Summary instead!
-
Is Digital Graphic Recording better?I love taking Visual Notes digitally, and here are a few great reasons for that! Here are the top 10 reasons I could think of... - Digital Graphic Recording allows us to make better use of your brand colours and themes - We can reach amazing levels of artistry with Digital Visual Note-taking - The ability to edit the information post live Graphic Recording is super practical - The opportunity to update the graphic records years after the event - Our Live Illustration can look stunning projected or connected to a large screen in the room - During the conference, you can control when you'd like to share the Graphic Recording! - Digital Graphic Recording is more environmentally friendly & practical than the analogue version - Multiple formats/parts can be exported right after Visual Note-taking - With Digital Graphic Recording, you'll get the images immediately in high quality - Digital Graphic Recording allows for easy online sharing! If you'd like to find out more about this, enjoy my detailed article on the Benefits of Digital Graphic Recording!
-
Is Graphic Recording Real-time?Absolutely. However, the more the graphic recorder prepares for your event - spending the time, exploring the resources, and asking the right questions -, the better output you can expect in real time! Check out the article, 'Is Graphic Recording Real-time?' ...to learn more about how you can facilitate my work!
-
What is a Visual Conference Summary?I get more and more requests for this unique event visualizing approach, as we start preparing for a conference we'll be Graphic Recording. Visual Conference Summaries are different in that we create only one graphic to summarize the whole day, instead of multiple session graphics! Why would one prefer a Visual Conference Summary? - Perhaps they don't see the need for each session's visual documentation - Sometimes the details are too confidential to circulate around on the internet in the form of a graphic - they just want to see the big picture - The need for one graphic they can share in a follow up email or on social media, as a high-level summary I've written an article on this, including examples of Visual Conference Summaries I created for the International Water Association and the NHS.
-
How do we plan for Digital Graphic Recording?We can prepare together to create a successful event experience! Before the event, we'll schedule a call to ... - Review the background, our objectives, and who the attendees are - Walk through the agenda (if we have one) and align on our plan for the sessions - what we will listen for, the key takeaways, and what success looks like - Discuss your preferred style, brand colors, logos, and any specific imagery to capture or to avoid - Explore the audio-visual setup and display options for both hybrid and virtual events This is the process we follow for events & conferences - read more about this type of Graphic Recording. It's quite an enjoyable and creative process! If you just need me to hop on and be your Visual Note-taker at an online event, I have simplified the process to make that possible.
-
Can I influence the pricing of Graphic Recording?I've written an article on Graphic Recording Rates & Fees, and why lower prices may result in sacrificing on the quality. However, I've been thinking about how to make Graphic Recording more accessible - 'cheaper', if you will - without any loss of quality - which is still a priority for me. So I have tailored my approach to suit those looking to have Visual Notes but don't have a lot of budget - here's the article explaining some ways you can reduce Graphic Recording Fees and opened a page on this type of Visual Note-taking for you to explore.
