Learn how churches can use infographics, which apply also to non-profits and other teams. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/11662 2013-09-26T10:34:55-05:00 Missiographics, from the mission researchers at Global Mapping International, is a new twice-a-month newsletter designed to bring together mission data and powerful visuals. Each issue will include an infographic with a link to download it, plus suggestions to help you think through the implications it may have for your life and ministry. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/9278 2012-09-12T14:13:48-05:00 This looks like a very valuable Chrome browser 'extension' (ie. add-on), and much easier to use than trying to manipulate a screen shot in a graphic program later. It surely has a wide range of uses. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/8390 2012-06-11T17:54:51-05:00 We are wired for visual imagery. An image can express – in a fraction of a second – a mood, a truth, or just an enticement to keep reading a text article. Use them constantly! Creative commons (i.e. broadly free to use) images can be found through an advanced image search at Google or Flickr. There are also many other sources of free photos, graphics and icons, including Bible images. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/8062 2012-05-08T13:20:07-05:00 All colors are not the same! Use colors that match your message. This is second nature to graphic designers, but not necessarily for the rest of us. And in some cultures, colors may have a special significance, often religious, that we are unaware of. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/4997 2011-08-15T12:42:04-05:00 Since the Internet has become the source of information and transferred our location of knowledge from paper to digital formats, the infographic has become a form of communication that combines image and word to create a specific way to convey and synthesize knowledge. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/2148 2010-08-04T17:55:57-05:00 “The soul never thinks without a picture” – Aristotle. In other words, most of us find it very hard to understand abstract truth unless it is presented to us as a picture. In the street, or on our computer desktops, we look for the logo of the product we seek, be it a SubWay sandwich or a computer program, rather than the written equivalent.
