Thinking Visually

Effective communication is everyone’s job—whether you are trying to sell in a concept or convince a client. Visual Thinking can help us take in complex information and synthesize it into something meaningful. In an increasingly fragmented and cluttered world, simple imagery, metaphors and mindmaps can get people to understand the abstract and make your ideas tangible. Find out why why thinking visually may be one of the most sought after abilities of the 21st century.

The Web is a medium of niche, Everyone has influence even if it’s within their group of 20 friends. There are fewer influencers like Oprah who still extend a lot of influence online. The Web is full of nichel communities, villages, groups etc. Each of these has people who exert influence in them—act as credible gatekeepers. It’s the opposite of a mass medium.
