When should you use visual media?

A lot

How many people do you want to pay attention?

Ex: Department of Interior

The Department of Interior manages a wide variety of public parks, properties, and monuments, including the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument in Ohio, the San Juan Islands National Monument in Washington, the First State National Monument in Delaware, the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico, and the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Monument in Maryland. You can learn more at our website, www.doi.gov.

Let's try that again

People just prefer visual

Don't just take my word for it.

The Sill

An example.

The Sill on Pinterest

Think of the user!

Think through the use case.
Would you read that?

This isn't rocket science

Complicated or boring --> Fun and interest = HARD WORK

Anthropologie

Lululemon

Don't be self obsessed

Nobody likes someone who won't stop talking about themself.
