Live Event Illustration F.A.Q.
How does it all work?
And what do you get when you hire me as a Live Illustrator for your event?
Obviously the end result is a lovely visual summary of what has been presented/discussed, but how do we actually even get to that point?? Where do we even start?
First off we will have a discovery call where you will tell me all about your event, what your objectives are and if there are any key things you want me to concentrate on. If it’s an in person event we will discuss my logistical requirements and also where we will stage the graphic so that it is as visible as possible. If it’s a virtual recording we will discuss tech set up and how we will automagically beam the graphic to the attendees.
I like to see the meeting/conference agenda prior to the event so that I can plan out the space on the graphic. Some clients will share presentations with me - this can both help or hinder - depending on the level of information. I will always research the topic/industry prior to the event to ensure I have a good grasp of the subject matter and typical imagery to be used.
If the event is virtual we will organise a tech test run prior to the event so that we know all connections are working so that everything works seamlessly on the day.
If its an in person event, where possible I will check out the venue. If that’s not possible I aim to set up the day before if I can, if not I always aim to get to the venue at least two hours before kick off to ensure I have everything in place.
Post event; If it’s a large format paper graphic, I will have it scanned/photographed so that I can send you a high res image of the graphic and I will also send you the original. If it’s a virtual event I will send you the high res image and time lapse video of the graphic taking shape as soon after the event as I can. (Usually a couple of hours - depending on the time of day/time zone of the event).
.And that’s pretty much it. If you have any questions please get in touch
