Sometimes known as "live graphics," graphic recording creates a visual representation of a group's thinking and imagining is created in real-time and at a large scale. In contrast to the usual flip chart, I'll use a sheet of paper 4' tall and 8' wide, if not wider. It differs from graphic facilitation in that it occurs in the background with little or no direct interaction with participants, and in collaboration with one or more individuals who are actually leading the session. These graphic records combine words and images to capture both the content and the experience. Such imagery has been found to create high levels of engagement during an event and a shared group memory for afterward.
