Graphics are a powerful medium
China was won to communism through the use
of small, cartooned pamphlets. Many political
careers have been elevated or destroyed
through the use of political cartoons. The
images are iconic and people are moved by
them.

The video game industry worldwide is a $60
billion dollar industry. This generation has
grown up with graphical presentations. Even
the instructions for assembling everything
from power tools to furniture contains graphic
directions today.
My Motivation
Effective, quality training. Training is where it
is at in safety. Policies don't matter unless
the employees are trained in them. I am not
the only one who is thinking that way. While
attending art & multimedia classes at our local
Jr College, I noticed that most of my fellow
classmates were teachers from all grade
levels. They too were striving to produce
better quality training!
