pictures are powerful

Because processing images activates more corners of our minds than words alone, we have a greater tendency to believe what we see — and the images we create are far stickier than things we only hear.

What’s on the other side of the fence?


It’s purok 6 pista, and something exciting loud noisy is brewing at the back of our house. It’s cockfighting. =) meg’s been going up there for the past days. She reported once she saw someone peed at the ‘pader,’ and the man has big ‘teten.’ I’m taking it as an early anatomy lesson.

6-year-olds are not half of 16-year-olds

Walk into a kindergarten class and ask for a show of hands on how many of the six-year-olds can sing. Every hand will go up in the air. How many can dance? Every hand. How many can draw? Every hand. Now ask how many can read: a couple might rise.

Then walk into a tenth-grade classroom and ask the sixteen-year-olds the same questions: How many can sing? One or two hands. How many can dance? A few. How many can draw? A couple. Now ask how many can read. Every hand will go up.

People like seeing other people’s pictures

In most presentation situations, audiences respond better to hand-drawn images (however crudely drawn) than to polished graphics. The spontaneity and roughness of hand-drawn pictures make them less intimidating and more inviting — and nothing makes an image (even complex image) clearer than seeing it drawn out step-by-step.
