#8 Communication

Communication is the key to success.

Undoubtedly, it's the one that's told to you repeatedly in school and by professionals. You can't do anything really if you don't communicate. You won't get your ideas across, even if you're a genius. If no one understands, no one's going to want to be 'for' it. Or, at worse, they'll just think up their own understanding of your work.

This chapter brings back a lot of what we discussed in class, along with various other events. Ishmael Obregon, for instance, spoke about language. The language of visual communication. In class, we also spoke about visual communication. We even had to tell lies!

In communication, we also have to understand the "audience" of who we're presenting it to. If you communicate an idea only adults would understand, then you leave out the children. That's great if it's ended for adults, but if you're supposed to go with children... it's horrible! This goes with many other questions... who is it for? Why is it needed? What are the benefits? Why is this interesting?

One thing that comes to mind right now is..

Dexter's Morning Routine

It tells you a story with no words, seriously, (if you don't pay attention to the credits).
