The thought starts with the message and then gets into putting other related information together to support it instead of starting with the data and thinking of what to make of it the message. The advantage of taking this route is also that you are not just restricted by topics or numbers or just presenting news. You can go a step further and air your views too to make a point.

ENLIGHTENING
Our rst responsibility is towards the planet, humankind, citizens, and only after that towards clients and employers or even towards your artsy inner world. You must be a creator of devices that make this Earth a better place before you can even think of becoming a ne artist.
