Plus, it gives a great alternative to death by bullet points.<br /><br />Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think of it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4625681248140286819-7175020125023764693?l=bigpictureideas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Will Konijnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01147838269982623017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625681248140286819.post-32708636496503113422009-04-03T21:43:00.000-07:002009-04-03T21:56:50.104-07:00Hello,<br /><br />This blog will focus on the many ways that visual communication of ideas can be used to persuade, teach, and collaborate with others.<br />Some of these ways will pull the best methods from diverse fields, such as:<br /><ul><li>presentation skills</li><li>information graphics<br /></li><li>comics/graphic novels</li><li>visual language/visual thinking</li><li>mind maps/concept maps</li><li>graphic design</li><li>information design/information architecture</li><li>idea generation/brainstorming</li><li>sketches/prototypes/storyboards</li><li>communication theory and practices</li><li>group collaboration<br /></li><li>metaphors/similes/storytelling<br /></li><li>and others</li></ul>I hope you enjoy the upcoming posts!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4625681248140286819-3270863649650311342?l=bigpictureideas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Will Konijnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01147838269982623017noreply@blogger.com0
