Blah, blah, blah... What can we do when words (alone) don’t work? One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table - Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when

Use visuals! But why?

But how can we get better visuals more quickly? Finding the right image online can be a total timesuck.

Search or Make? Doodle vs. Google

Why search for visuals? PRO ☺ CON ☹ It can be faster Easy to add to digital docs Millions of sources You could find a better pic than what you searched for...or slower...unless the file acts weird...and vague guilt about © …or you could get sucked down the rabbit hole

How to search? Use Google search operators Use Google image search filters Keep it legal with Creative Commons Search Flickr for CC images Use icons from The Noun Project

Why make visuals? CON ☹ PRO ☺ It can feel scary It can take longer to digitize Can’t blame the internet Only “limited” by your own imagination...but more engaging, too...until you have a workflow …but no © issues …and less likely to get distracted by cat pictures
