Visual Aide- Visualization for Business, Education, Communication, Engineering, Fun

Have you ever drawn a knowledge map? With the help of visual expression we can break down complex issues and ideas, like climate change and resource scarcity, by putting it out right in front us. From that data, just add water and salt as desired.

Picking up a pen and staring at a board can be new and intimidating, so here are a few suggestions from a right brained guy;

1. Get a large piece of paper, whiteboard (preferable), chalkboard, and a pen (get colorful and creative).
   
2. Pick up pen, apply desired pressure.
3. Don't be afraid of failure. Deciding that your thought is wrong or untrue is ok. Don't hesitate get part of the idea out!
4. If you can't start try this; close your eyes and think about the purpose of the project, assignment, or task of your visual aide.
5. Create an environment that allows you to practice as a habit, because it takes work to some.
