Reflection – Visualization tool

Why visualization?

Nowadays, we live in a world were communication is essential for the world´s

development. Communication has always been a challenge, people do not quite get

what you are trying to express, if you want to make people think as you are thinking,

the best way to do it is by using visualization, you can not broadcast your thoughts

to someone else´s mind, however, you can draw them, making your point of view

clearer, that way, the people that will receive the message will be in the same page

as you are. During this reflection, I will explain how I have used this technique and

how it works with other real life examples such as work, relationships, presentations,

interviews and others.

How is it used?

This tool can be used in many ambits, but the thing that merges all of them is,

preparation, preparation is essential for for expressing yourself, starting by the

knowledge you have on the topic, that is because even though you can have a lot of

pictures and drawings, if you don’t prepare yourself properly you will end up

confusing the people, however if you are well prepared and have your visual material

ready, you can make other people understand exactly what you mean. I have used

this perk specially in work presentations, due to the fact that there is where you have

to look like the most prepared person in the room.

Other thing we have to understand to use this, is that the visualization tool, allows

us to think in a different way than the one we normally do (verbal), by using this the

people we are presenting to will start using their non-verbal parts of the brain, such

as, creativity and visual memory, due to the fact that using images merges the

information that you are saying, with the visual representation of what you want them

to understand. Using this specially, is really important to communicate in a more

effective way and to express your ideas in a more understandable way.

Using this tool is not just about drawing, to improve the way you use it, you have to

know the different elements you can use, such as mental maps, graphics, pictures

and other, however, this are just examples of what you can use, but a different thing

is how you use them, to use this visual tools properly, you have to check the space,

the timing, the relevance with the things previously mentioned and how to make them

explain everything you are saying.

What did I learn?

While doing this reflection this course I was able to understand the importance of

visual thinking and using visualization tools. Since I took this course I completely

changed the way I think, I speak and I act, this to improve the way I communicate

and design things for my future.

While taking this course, I understood the importance of design thinking and

visualization, making me chance my perspective about how to present and speak.

Now, I know that creativity its not just a gift from god, because it can be used as a

process (What is?, what if?, what wows? And what works?) and that is how we make

sure something could work.
