What is
Graphic Recording?

Graphic Recording, also known as visual recording or visual note-taking, is a visual communication technique that involves capturing and illustrating ideas, discussions, and information in real-time through hand-drawn images and text on a digital device or with pens on large paper. A graphic recorder creates large-scale drawn summaries during events such as meetings, conferences, workshops, or presentations.

The goal of Graphic Recording is to transform complex concepts into clear and memorable visuals, making it easier for participants to understand and retain information. These visual summaries often take the form of large posters or digital images and can include illustrations, comic, diagrams, icons, and other illustrative elements.

Graphic Recording not only enhances communication and understanding but also encourages engagement and collaboration among participants. It is a dynamic and interactive way to document discussions and outcomes, providing a valuable resource for both immediate and future reference.

Overall, Graphic Recording serves as a powerful tool for facilitating communication, fostering creativity, and capturing the essence of complex discussions in a visually compelling manner.
