ILLUMINATED NOTES
The client collaboration process
1. BEFORE THE EVENT PRODUCTION
We take clients through an intake process to understand the culture, emotion, and branding behind their gathering. Client provides any specific photographs, logos, important copy, and other industry specific collateral.
2. DURING THE EVENT
On site or virtually, our team illustrates the keynote talks, creating a memorable live art experience for attendees. Using traditional or digital art media we produce beautiful pieces that capture the unique perspectives and ideas of each speaker.
3. AFTER THE EVENT
Back in the studio, we scan each drawing, transforming this collection of art into a shareable electronic book. This branded content can be used to illuminate and prolong the impact of your gathering and given as an unforgettable gift to your attendees.
