I discuss concept illustrations in this video and share my workflow for creating simple concept visuals. I explain that concept visualizations are functional representations of abstract concepts or ideas, typically consisting of images and text. I provide examples of simple visual metaphors and more abstract visualizations, highlighting their versatility. Concept visuals can be used in presentations, storytelling, marketing, and explaining concepts. I emphasize the importance of thinking about the message and using relevant keywords for searching images. I suggest building from existing icons and images before searching the internet, and I demonstrate how I use my icon library to support image reuse and serendipitous knowledge discovery. The goal is to make the message less boring, more memorable, and easily understandable for the audience.

I am a game developer and i generally needed that in Game Design / Idea phase to improve my thinking, Never knew there was something existed for this. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, hope you have a long live Mr. Zsolt
I love your work! I'm looking forward to trying out the presentation mode 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for sharing your content here. I love your structured and very understandable way of communicating.
Thank you Mr Zsolt! Your work is impressive!
You are a legend. Thank you for the community plugins you developed and thank you for these videos 🔥
As my mother likes to say, this is a “truism”!!
You SO are amazing. Thanks a lot!
Wonderful!
Thank you for your content
You are my new guru
Very valuable! Do you post the excalidraw visuals of your videos somewhere? Would be cool to explore before or after watching something like this
Another great explainer! I really love the practice of visual thinking in your daily notes, this is something I will implement!
How can I join your Discord?
I assume you have Obsidian & Excalidraw installed. Create a new drawing. There are a couple of links in the center of the empty page. One of them is the Discord invite link. Let me know if you can't find it...
@@VisualPKMhello Zsolt, what is your thoughts about heptabase vs obsidian-canv1-excali? Thank you.
@@ARNBNDL I don't have significant experience with Heptabase, thus I am probably not the right person to comment on this. Excalidraw in Obsidian matches my thinking pattern in that I am more interested in nested and block-referenced illustrations instead of just connecting editable documents together in a graph. I've been on Obsidian for 2.5 years now. I don't yet see any limitations that would encourage me to look for a different tool... On the contrary, I believe there is significant value to be gained by sticking to your tools and workflows for extended periods of time. As a consequences I don't spend much effort exploring other solutions.
I was thinking of a balance. On one arm, you have a wall of LEGO bricks, on the other you have a demolition machine with a wrecking ball.
Thanks for this video. What was that book you were reading at the end during the exercise?
How to Read a Paragraph by Linda Elder and Richard W. Paul
It's not a book, just a 70-page whitepaper.
@@VisualPKM thank you!
