This wonderful presentation about Visual and Creative Thinking in Business has been created with a purpose to help people realize that Creativity is important in Business and provide some steps to build creativity that was so ubiquitous during childhood.
A must watch for all those involved in heavy duty work environments.
Doodling isn’t an art to be learnt, but a fun activity that you should absolutely indulge in, just as the kids do. But it changes perspectives immensely and also alters the way you’d think further on.
Visual thinking – A must for everyone and anyone, yet somehow the most neglected of all options.
Hope you enjoy this presentation.
NOTE: Within the coming week, we shall bring to you some perspectives of the book “Problem Solving 101 – Ken Watanabe” to help you make real visual thinking in your everyday living. (Had been reviewed in the last post.)
@Kelsey Ruger Thanks for such enlightening presentations.

An extremely exciting time to be moving, this is. We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves with our brain-smashing and creatively super-exciting work. And it feels even better when everyone around us recognizes our efforts.
In one such incident, one of our core team members – Vineesh ended up giving an interview to Mr. Himanshu Sheth – an entrepreneur and a blogger about Pictualize and Entrepreneurship in general.
The interview has been put online in two parts. Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
Some excerpts about Pictualize are:
Everything starts with a problem, how did the concept of Pictualize arise ?
Pictualize, was born out of the realization that we need to change the current system of communication. It is just too ineffective, incomplete, lacking simplicity and possessing many other issues. The logical solution seemed pictures – the universal language, simple or complex, it is about expressing the core matter and with that came Pictualize.
Pictualize is a catchy name, which are the other names that you came up with while brainstorming & why did you choose Pictualize ?
Anirudh Maitra, our Idea Catalyst had put down numerous names for us to choose from. Pixlr8, Pictualate, and a variety of other names. Am not sure who exactly thought of Pictualize, but the moment it came onto the table we all fell in love with it instantly. Seemed to be love at first sight with the name and then the tag-line “Visualize. Actualize. Realize” followed almost effortlessly.
Who are the current team members and their roles?
Current team members are Aakanksha Gaur, who is currently our Visual Architect and she is the one who churns out all our imagination on paper.Anirudh is the idea catalyst and his wacky ideas are mostly out of this world. He leads in churning out ideas that rock, not just with us, but with others too.I am among the lesser mortals in awe of both of them, who gets to connect them to the rest of the world, i.e. bring us business and think about all the other things.Despite our roles being segregated, we all have an immense amount of fun, brain-jamming together and imagining and dreaming

Pictures speak louder than words, how do you guys ensure to bring the same creative feeling with each picture ?
It is precisely this effort that differentiates us from all the others who can doodle. We doodle, with a purpose and apply a lot of our mind to it. Three creative beings doing stuff they enjoy, certainly spew out tons of ideas and then it’s more or less a war to select the best.We don’t strive to maintain the creative feeling. The aim is to constantly improve.
What are some of the services that you are planning to offer like Marketing, Branding etc ?
More than marketing or branding, we are aiming to deal with “Communications”. As individuals we all have been brought up with a certain sanctity of the written word and an unusual fear of drawing. We intend to bridge this gap and bring visual communications and understanding within individuals as well as corporations as well as help everyone express themselves visually.
Our current services deal with creating visual presentations for corporations to reach out to their clients/customers in a more understandable and personalized way. Additionally, we are aiding in marketing efforts of our clients.
In the near term, we are targeting to move to clients like UNDP, Micro-finance organizations and NGOs that deal with a large number of people from different backgrounds and it is obviously tough to manage the diversity. We believe that we can offer some order in this chaos of communication through pictures.
