We are always on the lookout for strong visual language which can help people have great dialogues about complex issues. Thanks to Simon from the Kaospilots we got to know of the GreenMap project. They simply make map and icons for green issues.
The next four months Copenhagen is buzzing with activities, events, projects etc which all lead up to COP 15. There is a lot of data, information and communication out there. Some of it is scary, some confusing and some inspiring. The Co2penhagen Festival is of the inspiring kind: A positive approach. The entire communication and visual language signals that we can have fun and support each other while doing something good for the climate. This weekend we will try to find ways of contributing visually to the event – be it the concerts, the talks…or something else. Got any ideas?
There are so many great initiatives around “being green”, doing the right things, living sustainable etc. And the best part is almost that they have all gotten the thing about communicating in a powerful visual language. I found this site on John Grants blog, and just love the simplicity, the overall theme, the visual language – and finally the way you as a reader is guided through the site.
Our purpose is to show the world how visual language, visual thin- king and visual practice enable more sustainable actions.
On this blog we write and draw out what we find inspirational on this journey.
