Visual notes for your event: Analogue or digital?

How we approach creating visual notes for your event will vary according to circumstances and requirements. To help with some of the considerations that might crop up, here are some of the advantages of each approach.

Analogue (pen on paper or other surface!)…

  • It’s part of the experience as it happens, event attendees can see the visual develop.
  • The audience can be involved! For example, in a workshop situation participants might suggest additions, or even have areas they can write or draw themselves!
  • The piece can fill a space, maybe become part of an event stand or a backdrop. It could form a structure built of multiple panels or be drawn on a prop.
  • It lends itself to people getting photographs and sharing on social media in the right setting.

Digital…

  • A more subtle presence, with minimal distraction with the image shared after the event. Or it can be on screen during or towards the end.
  • With the right tech, it can be done remotely, saving on travel and accommodation expenses and reducing carbon footprint!
  • The piece can be immediately shared in a format ready to email, put on your website, go into your report or presentation…
    …equally it can be easily edited if there are additions to make.
  • It can be sent to print to create a physical asset for future use, including as gifts for speakers for example.
  • Your brand colours can be matched perfectly.

Hopefully this helps to clarify what might be the most effective and valuable way of capturing visual notes at your event. If you’ve got any questions, drop us a line, we’ll be happy to help!
