Re: VizLinks | Visual Thinking Bookmarks for December 16th

Wow, my concept map made the VizThink blog! Nice. If people are actually going to start looking at the photos I snap with my cheapo cell phone, I might need to get a better cell phone!

I should also add that I work in higher education, so I put this concept map together with an eye towards applications to college and university teaching.

Thanks for the reference. The slideshow is primarily about the journey i'm on in Visual Thinking. Its only a few months old to me, but having read Dan Roam's Back of the Napkin, and attending Matt Balara's sketching workshop I'm really starting to see real value from using a visual language in meetings and conferences. I'm eagerly awaiting a copy of Ed Embersley's Make the World to help hone some of my childlike scribbles ;)

It's an obvious choice, but if you're looking to create a slideshow in Flash you can save money and a lot of coding time just using Soundslides.

Very helpful especially for starters. What I find fulfilling though is the involvement in the action to save mother-earth through climate change monitoring.

Visuals are important because it clearly explains the critical aspects and techniques of any design a designer wants to make better. A great tool to relay the message although it is not the message in itself.

Great resource although quite some time, this is still timely for beginners and experts alike.

Christopher Alexander explains why visuals are so important to dealing with complexity:

"...we make pictures of reality and then seek to manipulate these pictures so that we may look further into the reality itself."

"A logical picture is easier to criticize than a vague picture since the assumptions it is based on are brought out into the open."

And most importantly in regard to solving wicked design issues:

"The technical difficulties of grasping all the information needed for the construction of such form are out of and -- and well beyond the fingers of a single individual."

Julie and Jennifer, I'm so glad to hear this article resonated with you both!

I have a PDF version of this article with illustrations I can email to you both. Drop me an email at mike@rohdesign.com with 'Associations Now PDF' as the subject line and I'll do the rest. :-)

Loved this posting about how you developed these illustrations, and it made me then go to read the actual article published in Associations Now. Great job by all of you in describing the development and benefits of visual thinking!! I live in Madison, and work with scientists and biotech figures who are often still at a loss to understand how images can be used to more effectively and efficiently convey their messages/discoveries/therapies; but once I can describe how it can make their lives easier, you see the light turn on in their eyes! :) Congratulations!

Hi. It was great to read about how you developed the art for the article. I'd like to take you up on the offer to get a copy of the August issue. Folks in my office frequently facilitate meetings and take notes. I want to share the visual thinking concept with them.

Thanks.

Hi Manu,

I'm not sure. Your best bet would be to contact Associations Now directly (there's also a link at the top of the article to purchase reprints)

Re: What is Your Vision for VizThink?

I see VizThink as growing into the premier Professional Organization for Visual Thinking professionals. In short, something a bit more institutional than it is now and bigger. But still with the awesome organic/innovativeness it has now.
