 Application : 

 In order   to market our new product and establish ourselves in a new market , the first step was to go out   on the ground and visualize the lifestyle of the population , then we start collecting the information that   we need to meet the need of the markets by doing some interviews with the future costumers by   following those steps : 

 1 .   Focus what you want to communicate and set your vision down on paper using a simple 

 drawing . 

 2 .   Collect all the information and organize it into categories , defining a hierarchy and a reading 

 order . 

 3 .   Assign a leading role to certain words and images . Remember that words describe , whereas 

 images represent . 

 4 .   Convey emotion , capture attention with the basic rules of graphic design , photography and 

 cinema . Trust your insight , allow yourself to be driven by creativity .

 ; I proposed a survey on existing shoe models and we ask people to offer their opinion based on the   information we have given for each model ; when l was writing this survey , I tried to respect the   criteria already mentioned ( 4 and 5 ) , then I ask them to   propose improvements to the design , the    quality .. , and to better involve people in participating in this survey ; a price has been proposed for   the best proposal ; by taking advantage of a weekly assembly they organize to attend a football   match where most of the people are present ; thus to show them the importance of wearing sports   shoes during the match 

 Insight & Approach     What I have learned from conducting this exercise is that as an entrepreneur , you can consider how   you can integrate visual thinking into your work and create visualizations around your vision ,   mission , value proposition , or workflow processes with your team to increase clarity and   engagement . You can also create visualizations to engage your external stakeholders . If your   business is relationship based , you can consider how you can develop visualizations to educate your   clients around the solution that is right for them and the process you follow . If you consider the   varying learning styles of your clients , including visualizations in your communications could not only   educate them better , but also engage them in a unique way .
