Colour me excited: Choosing the Perfect Palette for Your Live Event Illustration

One of the questions we’re asked the most is “Can I choose the colours of my live event illustration?” The short answer is: Yes, absolutely!

When it comes to live event illustration, colours have the power to enhance engagement and leave a lasting impression on your audience. Here at Illustrated Live, our team are not only experts at drawing your events in real-time (yes, really!) but also in customising your illustrations to be a perfect match for your brand’s identity.

So, how does it work?

Your colours, our canvas!

Usually, your company will have its own branding guidelines. And guess what? We absolutely love those! They provide us with a fantastic starting point for creating your live event illustrations. So all you need to do is send us your branding guidelines, and we'll cherry-pick the colours from there. Typically, we focus on one key colour, or two to three colours that represent your brand identity. This way, we ensure that our illustrations align seamlessly with your company's visual style.

Less Is More: Streamlined Illustrations for Full-Day Events 

If you're planning a long, full-day event where you want us to capture every detail and turn it into captivating visuals, we like to say that less is more! Our goal is to create illustrations that highlight information effectively. So by using a more streamlined colour palette, we can achieve this, and ensure that the illustrations complement the overall event experience!

Adding Vibrancy to Short Events 

As for shorter scribes, these events can be more colourful without overwhelming the audience, so we may be able to choose a few more colours to weave in. Think of it as adding a touch of pizazz to keep things lively, vibrant and engaging!

We're Here to Help!

If there's anything we've missed or if you still have questions about choosing the colours for your event, do feel free to get in touch. We'd love to hear from you and to help you make something cool someday!
