Echo 2010: Visual Communication Slides
Published on Jul 29, 2010 - In: Communication|Creativity|Storytelling
Was amazed by the turn out today for my session on Visual Communication. I feel God is really using this Conference to really reach into churches to add focus and a unique approach to communicating to a new generation.
The church is a communication/storytelling machine. Narratives of changed lives, transformation, renewal, and, most importantly, the gospel include every component of a great story. But we communicate it like a textbook rather than a story. In many ways, story has taken a back seat to the cultural wave drowning out the unique voice of many churches. They have lost their brand and market place, instead creating fractured communication and presentation. Churches need greater content and less distraction in the stories they tell. We should revive the power of testimony to inspire people with our living God. Visual Communication and Storytelling are the language of our culture. No matter if its a graphic, typography, photography, or a video the primary way of learning today is through seeing. The more you see, the more you know. Words are no longer enough and people communicate visually more than ever.
You requested them, so here they are the slides from today’s session; love to carry on the conversation.

Are you planning on coming to Echo 2010? How about my session on Visual Communication/Storytelling? On Thursday at 3:45, I will be leading a session on, How the Church can use the power of visual communication to teach and inspire action? If you do at the conclusion of the session I will be giving away two killer door prizes.
Door Prize #1: The books Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky and ReWork by Jason Fried and David Hansson. Plus HOW Magazine, Good Magazine and a Moleskin to hold all those visual ideas you come up with.
Door Prize #2: First addition painting I painted as a test for a sermon series last Feburary (See this Post) and the book Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky.
So how can you win? It’s simple, you need to be active on Twitter by tweeting ideas and things that strike you tweet worthy. In addition I ask that you are engaged in our conversation in the room. The winners will be chosen at random by a third party at the end of the session.
So are you going?
