Commissioning a Local Illustrator for Public Sector Projects

Graphic recording services are an excellent way to capture discussions, ideas, and planning processes—but the value multiplies when the illustrator understands your local context.

Live scribing is most effective when the illustrator can quickly grasp sector-specific language and mirror community priorities. Whether at a consultation event or university research seminar, a local illustrator brings contextual knowledge that enriches the visual notes.

Working in the public sector requires care, respect, and relevance. A local illustrator will have a feel for the tone that suits your audience—whether it’s NHS staff, community organisations, or service users. That sensitivity matters when visually documenting lived experience or designing accessible outputs.

If you want meaningful visual documentation with long-term value, consider going local. It’s not just easier logistically—it creates deeper impact.
