Week 2

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

The expression "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words." appears in a 1911 newspaper article quoting newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane discussing journalism and publicity.

I think that for us as graphic designers, this phrase is a reflection into the work that we do. We need to be expressive with our imagery. The text shouldn't explain the message, the image should be compositionally strong enough to tell the story behind the image so that text doesn't have to.
