Visualizing Economics & Development
As I converged on my current profession, I considered several careers that rely heavily on visual aesthetics, including landscape architecture, advertising, graphic design, and photography. Deep down, I am a big fan of visual imagery and admire successful visual depictions of complex models, relationships or information as a true art form.
In just about any professional setting, I favor the use visual imagery to motivate, build comprehension, and improve retention. Here are a few resources that I lean on for visual imagery.
Economic Development Videos
I use a few of the video clips in this collection to introduce topics or spark discussion in my ARE/ECN 115A Economic Development class. Many of these clips were nominated by students (thanks!).
