Our verbal mind does not work without our visual mind. Those of us raised in the western educational tradition find that terrifying. Pictures trivialize, drawings are silly, doodles patronize, art is decoration. These are the things we’re told in school. In this marvelous book, Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio show us how wrong we are. Thinking in pictures is our nature. Sharing those pictures has long been our dream. With the arrival of global social media, we have a whole new set of tools to make that dream come true.
Strangely, this quote is not from the actual book, but from the foreword. I used this quote since it describes the book amazingly. Yes, the book is indeed amazing.
