Live-cartoons en Sketchnotes are visual minutes, made during a meeting or session that provide a lot of added value. The idea of visual annotation is that the use imagery addresses parts of the brain that are not activated when using just text or speech. Our cartoonists often work on special PostIt™ blocks. After completion of the cartoons, these self-adhesive sheets can be stuck to walls or windows for a complete overview.

Using a camera or a digital tablet, it is possible to project the work of our cartoonist on a large screen. For instance during a break, showing cartoons that were made on the previous segment. Or even showing the cartoons live, as they are being drawn. Especially with a larger audience this proves to be an excellent way to keep the attention of the participants focused and achieve greater involvement.

It is precisely the combination of words and images that is most powerful. This combination adds a lot of value to intensive meetings such as brainstorming sessions or mapping new challenges. SketchNoting on whiteboard is another, widely used solution. If a large whiteboard is present at the location, our cartoonist is able to depict the session in one large, continuous drawing.

Upon completion of an event, there often is an opportunity to check out all cartoons together, thus reliving the main topics. A fun way to organise this is our Cartoon Roundup. Your cartoonist talks the audience through the most defining drawings of the day, seasoned with their personal observations.
