Go Visual


Storytelling

When facts become so widely available and instantly accessible, each one becomes less valuable. What begins to matter more is the ability to place these facts in context and to deliver them with emotional impact - Daniel H. Pink, A whole New Mind.

Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories - Roger C. Schank

Pictures

Words are but pictures of our thoughts - John Dryden

A soul cannot think without a picture - Aristotle

Metaphors

According to Charles J. Palus and David M. Horth in The Leader's Edge, metaphor is a technique of explaining one thing in terms of another and is superb way to create new ideas and understanding.


Metaphor is the lifeblood of all art - Twyla Tharp
