Visual thinking is about communication.
Advantages - Why
- Drawing uses a different part of the brain. More connections, better creativity
- Better comprehension for images for consumers. People understand the content much faster.
- Better retention for images for consumers.
- You'll remember the idea better if you create the image yourself
How
- Develop a visual language
- Develop a visual vocabulary
- Use metaphors
When drawing an idea, use the image that comes from your "gut". When you have to show the idea love, use the heart shape. Many ideas can be easily communicated because we share a common visual language - that we might not be aware of.
