Xplane has a great product. It produces illustrated explanations for complicated things. I first encountered their work in the 90s in Business 2.0 magazine. More recently I worked with a client whose business process was brilliant, but took two three hour sessions to explain. They had a chart cobbled together in PowerPoint (including those horrible little Microsoft clip art stick figures) which was unfathomable. I wanted Xplane to translate. Client wasn't sold - in part because a certain amount of obscuring suited them - their process was patented. The process of dealing with Xplane was one of the nicest, most professional contacts I have had in business - even though we did not proceed they were genuinely interested in helping the client and superb in their communication and follow up. Will I recommend them again? - in a flash.

The diagram illustrates - literally - the dual powers of simplicity and visual over verbal.

Sexist Advertising and stereotypes

Advertising lives in the short-form world. Because mass media is so expensive the 30 second commercial is conventional and because there is so much clutter simplified signals are essential to 'cut through'. One form of communication short-hand used as a default is the stereotype - "A stereotype can be a conventional and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image, based on the assumption that there are attributes that members of the "other group" have in common. Stereotypes are sometimes formed by a previous illusory correlation, a false association between two variables that are loosely correlated if correlated at all. Though generally viewed as negative perceptions, stereotypes may be either positive or negative in tone." In the 1950's and 60's when men dominated advertising stereotypical impressions of women as inferior or subservient were not only commonplace but usual. It was normal to show women as housekeepers, largely because most wer
