"Can you say Venn Diagram??"



Argh! Could this blog get any more techno/gearhead/geeky? If I log on and see that slo-mo bullet one more time...

This term, this Venn diagram thing, keeps coming up in client meetings. When it does I think, oh yah, the overlapping circles thing. I nailed that a long time ago, duh. We all did. We know that anything can be Venn diagrammed, that the world can be reduced, or expanded, to a Venn diagram. My whole life is a Venn diagram, especially my work life. Editors need copy, I produce copy. Demand, supply, meet profit. The client needs product, we have production. A big win-win lives in the merger of the two.

Except that it turns out I had been paying less and less attention to the importance of thoughtful, effective Venn diagramming. And its usefulness in all kinds of creative endeavors. I was happy to come across a reminder like this (very basic) article.
