Problem: Complexity
How can we communicate effectively enough to stand apart in an overwhelmingly complex world?
Solution: Clarify and simplify
Humans are pattern-seeking, naturally filtering out what is unnecessarily complex or unremarkable. To stand out in culture, communication needs discipline: clear focus, compelling messaging, and visually powerful imagery. Mastering the art of simplicity is essential to make it so.
