An Infographic About Infographics | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it

A picture is worth a thousand words, and Californian digital marketing agency, Bixa Media, have illustrated (pun intended) by creating an infographic about the importance of… well, infographics.

 

Based on the company’s research and insights, they found that visual data is absorbed 60,000x faster than text and people will only read about 20% of the text on a page.

The Five Stages of Innovation

1. People deny that the innovation is required.
2. People deny that the innovation is effective.
3. People deny that the innovation is important.
4. People deny that the innovation will justify the effort required to adopt it.
5. People accept and adopt the innovation, enjoy its benefits, attribute it to people other than the innovator, and deny the existence of stages 1 to 4.

Steve Jobs Isn't The Only Kind Of Artist Leader

"He may have been a genius and a charmer, but he was far from the person the leadership books tell you to be. And even the authors of those books are chiming into the global choir singing his praise. How did that happen?..."

 

We need creative leaders in business. The lifespan of large companies will continue to shrink unless they learn to reinvent themselves.

 

John Maeda, the president of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and author of the book  Redesigning Leadership, predicts that artists will emerge as the new business leaders

 

But imitating Steve Jobs isn’t the answer. He was an outlier...

 

To develop more artist leaders for the 21st century economy, we need to recognize the contribution of experimental innovation and encourage it — and failure — in our schools and workplaces.

Blast From the Past: High Quality Color Footage of New York City in the 1930s (02:50)

Posted by DL Cade on June 1, 2013 • 

 

"Color film first burst onto the scene in 1935 when Kodak introduced the world to Kodachrome, and the first of this film that was available to the public was the 16mm variety for home movies. Later, Kodak introduced similar 8mm and 35mm film for home movies and photography, respectively, but it was the 16mm film that had finally offered consumers the ability to easily capture their world in color for the very first time.

 

The above video is a rare clip released by the Romano Archives that shows what French tourist Jean Vivier was able to capture using the 16mm film all the way back in 1939, when he came to visit the Big Apple."

It was great to see this article draw the relationship between how we could be approaching education as well as the application of the same / similar principles for corporate leadership.  All of the competencies mentioned would serve both organizations and the individuals within that organization and lead to more humanized evironments in both the schools and in enterprise.

Mostly what is wanted to achieve through the implementation of design thinking (aka perspective thinking, service thinking) is positive / constructive transformation.  Those that are still skeptical of the need for transformative services are encouraged to take this peek into a business case for shifting their perspectives.

Building Engagement In

There are ways to BUILD engagement into a website's design. Here are three secrets to promote engagement not included in this excellent Slideshare:

* Place Email Subscription High Up and Prominent. 
* Include curated User Generated Content on every page.

* Create CTAs with CONTRAST.

 

Email Subscriptions
When your "Subscribe To Our Email List" Call to Action is high on the page in a Can't Miss It spot you communicate a clear "we want YOU" signal. 

UGC Everywhere
When you curate User Generated Content to your site you communicate how well you listen and care for community members. The website isn't all about YOU and what you think the inclusion of UGC says.

 

CTAs
I see to very common mistakes in websites I'm asked to review as Director of Marketing for Atlantic BT in Raleigh (http://www.atlanticbt.com ): NO CTAs or poorly contrasted CTAs. I PREFER CTAs to be buttons and usually test red, orange or green (depending on the background color). I'm convinced there is no ONE magic CTA color but the contrast is what makes a Call To Action helpful or not, clicked on or not, converting or not.  

Michael Allenberg's curator insight, June 2, 2013 7:17 AM

Engaging and experience should always go hand-in-hand, regardless of the implementation.
