When a Picture Can Tell the Story Alone

PURPOSE OF THIS EXERCISE IS TO: 1) Tell the truth

2) Tell the truth in a story

3) Tell it with pictures

4) Illustrate in one picture – without words - the manner in which an image can express the essence of one person’s life

 Once a formidable object of terror tamed by civilization to point of sympathy

 Symbol for All Bears dependent for survival on compassion or indifference of humanity

A new symbol

 Roosevelt’s Successor Taft served an 18 pound possum at inaugural dinner

Billy Possum marketing story failed against the backstory of the Teddy Bear

stand on its own

From annihilation to affection based on the stories that we tell
