I’ll remember this short talk.

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.

I reached to my friends at Spork Design today to illustrate, not just design, a new project we’re working on.  I trust them because they are a few of the people I know that actually know how to draw, with a pencil in their own hand.

Shortly thereafter, I came across this video on the same related topic.  I love it for many reasons.  It’s simplicity - it has one central message that is powerfully memorable.  It’s delivery - Mr. Glaser’s cadence and confidence are addicting and highly engaging.  And it’s execution - it’s non-traditional and unexpected.  You aren’t sure what he’s going to draw or say about it.   And rarely in a presentation do you see a supporting act, non-verbal or visual drive home the message so distinctly as this.

(Articulation tip:  Keep it simple and make sure your visuals support, not distract, from your message.)
