Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. What does image this mean to you? To my husband it means a perfect Friday night. To a nutritionist, it might mean the decline of the American Empire. To a vegetarian, it may mean temptation or animal cruelty. Most likely some of both. It depends on the narrative you’re bringing to the table.
  2. Narratives have deep emotional footings, but also things that appeal to what makes sense to us, they include logic and confirming information.
  3. Its not enough that you think we’re right. We want people to see the world the way we do.
  4. If you work for a tech company, or something else that’s abstract or new or complicated. You probably have this problem. You’re showing people a box of parts.
  5. So you create an idea of what this thing is.
  6. If you’re any good, you’ll connect that whole to a user.
  7. And if you’re very good, you’ll connect with a yearning. Now our photographer is a visionary. An adventurer.
  8. There’s emotional resonance, intellectual resonance. Positive and negative.
  9. Cherished brands have been doing this for ages. Nike gave us this moment with le bron
  10. And this
  11. These are moments that are not just about who we are, but who we want to be
  12. Remember the eminem ad for chrysler? Magnificent moment. But it ended. Narratives aren’t moments.
  13. There are dozens of definitions. As many definitions as there are definers. Mine, of course, is definitive.
  14. The characters, the place, the time, the “boldly go where no man has gone before” thing, the tricorder and the communicator, the transporter, the computer you can speak to, but which oddly, didn’t talk back (I like this model, by the way) the elements of the gestalt, the physical laws of their environment.
  15. Those people and context, in action – responding to a situation - that’s a story.
  16. Those people and context, in action – responding to a situation - that’s a story.
  17. Those people and context, in action – responding to a situation - that’s a story.
