Words versus Graphic Communication

It seems that contemporary thought may suggest that words are evil -- something that only prehistoric creatures use to communicate. I have always thought of myself as a persuasive communicator and that perhaps I would one-day right the great American novel.

But in the world of The Internet, websites, Twitters and blogs we are taught to be brief, succinct, terse. We are taught that zen communication is minimalist in words.

I am reading a lot about this these days as one dinasaur tries to keep from becoming extinct. I have found a new creativity and been energized by the use of images WITH words to communicate ideas. There are so many images out there these days that are so very cool. For instance, our BestHomePro site is attempting to tell consumer they can trust us; that their contact information will never be shared without their permission and that they should have no fear of being badgered.

Now doesn't this image make you smile and remember that we will not badger? Cool.

Image away, but please don't forget the words. Words still have the power to enlighten, engage, enrage...
