ADDITIVE BIG PICTURE THINKING
STARTED FROM THE TOP NOW I’M HERE: PUBLICATIONS
▸ Cover stories
▸ “Hero” stories:
▸ Profiles
▸ Long-form narratives
▸ Q&As
▸ Day-in-life
▸ Origins stories
▸ Sidebars
▸ So much more…

LET’S TRY SOMETHING NEW…
A CONTENT HERO: ART (?!)

CONTENT HEAVY LIFTING
WHAT I LEARNED
▸ Don’t forget print. Let it be your bird’s eye or your grounding force, or both.
▸ Set aside time, even small amounts, to think big — it can be an important piece of upcycling/recycling.
▸ Use art with intentionality to tell your story.
▸ Think deliberately about your artist/designer and their story.
▸ Use easy photo editing tools (Canva, Pablo) that even non-designers can use!
