Designing Insight

Your challenge

Since the tech boom of the 1990s, we have been on a technological fast track. Large amounts of stimuli are coming at us twenty-four-hours a day, in the form of phone calls, emails, breaking news, messages, video calls and more. This world is fast and easy to navigate, but it is also causing our attention span to decline. There are simply too many distracting stimuli for us to keep our minds on one thing at a time.

To keep up with this speed, a parallel route has emerged alongside the acceleration in technology: one of a growing visual culture that we use to communicate with each other. Consider, for example the emergence and use of emoticons or the rise of visual journalism. The infographic is now commonplace. The reason that visual communication plays an increasingly important role in our daily lives can be explained biologically; it enables the brain to process information with less cognitive effort, stimulates our problem-solving abilities and is able to create shared understanding about a subject.

This paradigm shift is also influencing the business landscape; it is precisely in this setting - high information density, high pace and high risk - that visualization is increasingly being used as a means of communication.
