I hear you, voters! I like them all.

4 votes for the We can’t win the war from a word processor poster.
a. Systems engineer: “The war on terror and enemy complexity requires more sophisticated tools than the usual.”
b. Systems integrator: “You need to have more than a machine to get the job done; it takes more than one person/machine to win.”
c. Software developer: “Knowledge is important–so important that it can’t be held captive in narratives.”
d. Biz dev person1: “We can not afford to make mistakes.”
1 vote for the Free text isn’t free is it? poster.

I like the first one because it is CLEAN and the COLOR grabbed me immediately. What’s interesting is that I didn’t even know which poster Paul was talking about. I never noticed the words about the brain and brain on semantics because they didn’t grab my attention. I just flicked a glance at the pics and went back to the first poster.

I hear you, Stephie. Thanks! It was meant to be a sort of warning / school bus yellow color.
I might oughta have a separate post for each poster – would that help?

Hands down the “this is your brain on semantics” poster is the best. I dont really know if you can sum it up in one adjective. While I think everyone understands to concept of semantics, understanding it in detail, how it works and how users can benfit from it is more than I think we are capable of grasping. It is captured in the explosion if you will of the mind in the picture. The picture also doubles as showing semanatic linking.

I hear you, Paul. Thanks!
Sounds like you find the hairball a little scary but in a good way.
