The [Unequal] Power of Images

When to use a photo vs. an icon There are many style options available when it comes to communicating information visually. Photos excel at evoking emotion in individual scenarios, when the photograph literally represents what is being communicated.   Icon-focused infographics tend to group information on a more broad level: reflecting general patterns and information rather than specific, individual – and quite […]

Motivating Sustainable Behavior

How can we help people act more sustainably? According to a series of studies from the Harvard Business Review, ‘seeing’ ourselves in the future helps us make decisions that prioritize long-term benefits to our future selves (over short-term gains).
