Using pictures to tell a story

G'day! Thanks for returning!

My good friend Bruce Macky at Dymocks in Adelaide sends me great emails, many with amusing videos or jpgs and jokes.

Today he sent me some absolutely brilliant examples of story-telling via an image.

I have no idea where he got the pictures from, although the person who sent them to him claimed they were from ad awards somewhere. But the sheer brilliance of these photos deserve recognition as both artform and the level to which we, as communicators, should be striving.

Very few words are used to describe the individual stories in the following set of images — but, ohhh! — what stories they do tell!

And if there is a copyright issue involved and the owners of the copyright are upset that I have republished them, please let me know and I’ll pull them down immediately. But note that I am using them for illustrative purposes only.
