What are Visual Meeting Minutes?
Visual Minutes are the real-time translation of your meeting into a combination of text and images. Unlike traditional 'meeting minutes', this form of 'visual note-taking' is a creative and engaging way to record the key takeaways of your events, gatherings or conversations.
Visual Minutes are also known as Visual Notes, Graphic Recording, Sketch-noting or Scribing
Why take Visual Minutes during your meeting?
Visual Minuting engages attendees
These hand-drawn visual meeting minutes make for a captivating event experience, as they can be shared real-time during or after your event!
Visual Minuting helps to remember what was discussed
One takes meeting minutes to remember and share the key takeaways of an event. With most of us being visual learners, taking these notes in an illustrative way is a far more impactful solution. These visual minutes also bring more life into your meeting or event, and you get to pick the visual style and colours they are taken in!
The Visual Minutes inspire great ideas and conversations
Looking at the visual version of your meeting minutes often results in new insights! My aim is not only to capture and illustrate, but to synthetize and connect what I hear in these visual minutes!
Visual Minuting is a brilliant way to document and share about your event
Thanks to this visual documentation, your meeting will live on as the final piece is shared with all the attendees, and even others on social media
Visual Minutes can draw more attention to your work
Because they are engaging and witty, these visual records of your conversations are much more likely to grab someone's attention and bring light to your great work
As the following examples show, Visual Minutes can be created in various styles! I always use your brand colours or colours best suited to the subject matter!
The benefits of Digital Visual Minutes during your meeting
I specialise in digital visual minuting, for all that it makes possible real-time! I've written an article on the various benefits of digital graphic recording, if you're curious!
Can Visual Meeting Minutes be taken online?
Absolutely! in fact, I specialise in visual minuting online. When it comes to virtual or hybrid events, joining and sharing my screen is quite straightforward. However, I often take visual notes remotely even if everyone else is in the room!
Visual meeting minutes based on a meeting recording
Another common way of taking visual minutes is based on meeting recordings! It works exactly as if I were joining real-time, and if we schedule ahead, you can receive the visual minutes within a few hours of sending the recording. So if you have an event in mind that would be worth transforming into beautiful visual minutes, feel free to get in touch!
Create Visual Notes based on Meeting Minutes taken by AI
Lastly, I'd like to mention AI and how we can use its minute-taking skills to our advantage! If you have an online meeting where you've let AI listen and take notes, we can use those meeting minutes and bring some spirit and creativity into them with visuals!
Enjoy many more great examples, and get in touch if you'd like to get started!
