Cohort 5 starts on August 19. We will be summarizing Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse into a bookonapage


I discuss concept illustrations in this video and share my workflow for creating simple concept visuals. I explain that concept visualizations are functional representations of abstract concepts or ideas, typically consisting of images and text. I provide examples of simple visual metaphors and more abstract visualizations, highlighting their versatility. Concept visuals can be used in presentations, storytelling, marketing, and explaining concepts. I emphasize the importance of thinking about the message and using relevant keywords for searching images. I suggest building from existing icons and images before searching the internet, and I demonstrate how I use my icon library to support image reuse and serendipitous knowledge discovery. The goal is to make the message less boring, more memorable, and easily understandable for the audience.
