ndlr: Image from the brilliant photo essay Social Workout (must see) by Six N. Five

Visuals only?!

Predicted years ago that we were embarking in the ‘age of images’ meaning that our communication currency would become exclusively visual. Marco Simonetti did a photographic essay on that topic.

_______

The only way to ‘decipher’ what the image is about is by capturing its Q-R-Code. If you don’t – you (and I) will judge the ‘story’ based on our subjective sensibilities and values.

Take time to view the project. Isn’t this a brilliant social essay?

Happy March 8!

_______

Sharing work online can bring more than just ‘hearts’ and ‘likes’, but designers may need to start channelling their inner window-dresser in order to keep up.
