Client Feedback

Tabea Dietrich, Referentin, Deutsche UNESCO-Kommission
From graphic recording to strategic visualisations: a digital UNESCO World Conference and online workshops thrive on creative communication activities that manage to inspire people and present complex contexts in a concise way. Anja supported us in the communication activities surrounding the Education for Sustainable Development conferences in Berlin in May 2021 and produced several creative and striking visualisations. Many thanks to Anja for the friendly, reliable and exciting collaboration!

„Together with Anja, we at the planning office “regionalplan&uvp P.Stelzer GmbH” have been able to give more space to the voices of young people in our rural development project. Working with Anja via video call is pleasant, reliable, and straightforward. The result reassures us that we will continue to rely on Anja’s expertise in graphic recording via video call in the future – a new way to develop strategic visuals, highly recommended!“

„Realising a networking event like the Berlin Job Coaches Day 2020 is a big deal every year. This year in particular, as the hybrid event took place in September in compliance with coronavirus protection measures. To capture this event and its results at a glance, Anja gave us her full support: She managed to visualise the content of the main act and the subsequent four workshops, make it appealing and literally get to the point. Her professionalism and visible enthusiasm for her task created a real highlight. After the event, we sent Anja’s graphic recording to all Berlin job coaches as a thank-you card (instead of a standard protocol). Thank you very much, Anja, for your graphic accompaniment to the Jobcoaches Day!“

Karoline Münz
Stv. Generalsekretärin, Europäische Bewegung Deutschland
“Anja used digital graphic recording to vividly accompany the discussion of a vision of the future “Europe 2049” for us. The result was very well received during and after the event – we also used parts of the graphic as a New Year’s card. Many thanks for the uncomplicated, pleasant and successful collaboration.”

Johanna Polsfuß
Referentin Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung, Health AG
“We had Anja as our graphic recorder at our annual corporate event and I have to say: we were thrilled! 100 participants, 10 different workshops and Anja’s drawings live on the screen. We really enjoyed working with Anja and it was highly professional! The result: a real eye-catcher and an innovative way of taking minutes that captured the essential points of the discussions and got to the heart of the matter. Gladly again!”

Karin Rennenberg, Kommunikationsmanagement, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Bundestagsfraktion
“Anja Riese wonderfully visualised the essentials of our all-day conference on digitalisation and sustainability. It was a great pleasure for us and our guests to watch Anja create the images – via projection onto the screens. We were particularly impressed by how quickly, professionally and concisely she visualised the discussions and presentations, both analogue and digital. Chapeau! From the initial contact to the briefing to the realisation at the conference, it was an extremely pleasant and engaging collaboration. Thank you very much, Anja Riese!”

Katrin Krumrey, Landes- Kinder- und Jugendbeauftragte Brandenburg
“Anja Riese accompanied us live and on site in three workshops lasting several days with a graphic recording. Young people from Brandenburg were involved in the development of the ‘Brandenburg Children and Youth Act’. We were able to use the graphic recording very successfully in communicating about the law and with the participants. For the subsequent conference of youth and family ministers with young people on the topic of “Participation”, we also invited Anja to accompany our event with the pen and visually capture the topics and voices of the participants in a picture. The final digital graphic recording was presented at the end of the day and was very well received by the young people. It helped us to summarise the wealth of topics and discussions from the day’s event at a glance and then move on to further discussions. We were extremely satisfied with the results. The co-operation was uncomplicated and professional. Thank you very much, Mrs Riese.”
Graphic recording in times of Corona


Live graphic recording, digital & online
You also had to inventively convert your event into a video conference? As a graphic recorder (live illustrator), I draw your content during your Zoom conference, workshops, events, etc. live and online with the iPad Pro.
Your content will remain fresh and memorable in a clear and concise way
I record your content during the video event via screen sharing and document your topics clearly and to the point.
Your visual protocol: For sharing, as a reminder and for reflecting on the event
A visual transcript is particularly important and valuable in these times. It is created during the online event. You watch and at the end you have a picture for your participants, as a reminder, as a basis for discussion and for food for thought. Your content stays fresh and in their minds.
What is graphic recording good for?

- Simplify complex topics
Easier for everyone to understand and comprehend
- All results at a glance
The content is remembered much better


- Entertainment and emotional involvement for all participants
Where can graphic recording be used to good effect?
- Workshops (Visual Facilitation)
- Teamevents
- Mitarbeiterevents
- Versammlungen / meetings
- Podiumsdiskussionen / panel discussions
- Tagungen / symposiums
- Konferenzen / conferences
- Firmenfeiern
Added value
- You keep a visual record.
- Use the graphic recording for your social media channels and generate more reach for your topics.
- Use the minutes for your internal communication & your annual report.
- As a reminder of your workshop / conference / employee event. The topics remain visible, fresh and continue to be discussed.
- Your visions / goals are recorded and will be remembered.
Pricing
Daily rates vary greatly as it always depends on the type of event, the duration, the content, the distance and the type of company which rate is charged. I refer to the guideline values suggested by the IO (Illustratoren Organisation e.V.). The more precisely the key data is formulated, the more accurately I can estimate the price.
The following information will help me to prepare an offer:
- Which company/type of company?

- Location: Where will the event take place?
- How long will the event last?
- Will it be analogue or digital?
