Three thousand words worth of pictures – at least

I’ve been a fan of the ‘cartoons on the back of business cards’ work of Hugh MacLeod for a long time, often using the examples of his work and blog to try and inspire other people.

He was soon joined at some unspecified point by David Armano’s ‘visual thinking’ on Logic + Emotion, whose genius has livened up many of my presentations with slides that sum up social media in eloquent visuals.

But somehow I’d missed out on Tom Fishburne until I caught 10 questions with him on Church of the Consumer yesterday. I then spent longer than intended taking a look at a huge range of great marketing related cartoons at www.tomfishburne.com. My discovery ties into his Virtual Post2Post book tour to promote his latest work, This One Time, At Brand Camp.

Personally, I think his next move should be poster version I could hang around the office (Please forgive the dodgy resizing for my central blog column, and click to see the original in context):

As I’m up to my neck in Powerpoint, trying to distill my knowledge, and that I’ve gained from others, into one neat presentation…

In the meantime, why on earth is it so hard to integrate a Youtube video into Powerpoint? There seems to be two options. Either a lengthy way to link to it online, or ripping it and converting it to a suitable format offline. Either method is a pain.

On the bright side, there are some Youtube videos to show the methods, ironically enough.
