Having a metaphorical image helps catalyze conversations. Everyone has the ability to communicate visually. Being ‘an artist’ is not the core capability of the visual journalist. Visual communication involves images and words, entwined in an intuitive yet intentional way that makes more of each. Visuals work. They are archetypes. We see not only our own point of view: we also make a picture of the connections. Everyone sees something different while agreeing that it looks the same.
