Manifesto

Pictures communicate ideas better than words.

Design does not need to be flashy or animated. Simple, lines and minimal colors can communicate everything that needs to be said.

Pictures no longer need to be limited to comic books and a handful of illustrations in "real" books. Pictures can tell complex stories and communicate complicated ideas. Pictures tap directly into something deep in our brains.

One does not need to be educated to understand a well-crafted picture.

This blog seeks to prove and explore this idea. It will use simple designs and pictures with few words to communicate ideas on a broad range of subjects.

A grapheme (from the Greek: γράφω, gráphō, "write") is a fundamental unit in a written language. - wikipedia

I will move beyond the grapheme to communicate deep truths and complicated ideas with simple, crafted pictures.

(And yes, I see the irony in me using words to write this manifesto. Time is also a concern and I want to get this written quickly so I have more time to create designs.)
