Good advice from comics guru Scott McCloud
So much good stuff in this TED talk, but here’s something that sticks out to me. Three types of vision:
- Vision based on what one can not see (unseen and unknowable)
- Vision based on what has been proven (or has been seen)
- Vision based on what can be, what may be based on knowledge (but is not yet proven)
What Scott is saying is that there are many ways to pursue a vision based on what can/may be. People are doing this in science, the arts, politics, personal endeavors, etc. What it all comes down to, says scott, is this:
- Learn from everyone
- Follow no one
- Watch for patterns
- Work like hell
These four guidelines will take you far indeed as you create your own life story.
