Is Visual Thinking all about pictures? #visualthinking #communication #engagement #e4s
I often get asked “Is visual thinking is exclusively about the use of pictures?” and “Can I not use words in my pictures”?

However, often people forget to really think about how the visual is going to drive meaningful conversations in […]
