3. The Visual World
We live in a visual world. Compelling images grant us just a moment of breath in our
active lives, holding us for a fraction of a second when we aren’t busy plunging
ourselves into a rigorous Angry Birds level or trying to cancel our Google+ account. We
are wired in to our social networks, our mobile devices, and our Netflix. Yet every now
and then, our eyes pass over the raw power of a compelling photo, or a beautiful
banner, or a digital manipulation, and we stop ourselves to think. In an era of short-
attention spans, rapid Tweets, and topic sentence readers, a moment that transports
us to another place is valuable. Photographs and images can accomplish this in
remarkable ways, more so than any other medium.
From drawing to digital art, photography to advertising, one powerful element guides
my desire to create: to tell a meaningful story. The images I have selected, though
various and seemingly unrelated, together form a greater narrative about movement
and moment. Their story is the story of pausing between destinations, of slowing the
journey to feel. Hopefully they also illustrate how I visualize successful advertising; a
story can grab an audience’s attention like nothing else. Finally, I hope they share a bit
about who I am and where I come from. And if I accomplish nothing else with these
images, at least I pulled you away from that frustrating Angry Birds level for a while.
Enjoy, and thanks for considering.
