Here’s the article published in Financial Express by Dr. Jitin Chadha CEO & Founder-IIAD about “Importance of visual frame building strategies in war and conflict”

In recent times we have seen the outbreak of riots, violent episodes and wars across the globe. While unfortunate, it has also simultaneously brought to light the ways in which visual frame building tools are used and manipulated during such moments of conflict and strife. The consequences and impact of such tools, as a result, has become more evident than we may have previously understood. As the famous saying goes – a picture is worth a thousand words. This phrase is more valid today than ever before as we see such strategies being incorporated by different countries, political parties and social groups around us. Communication Design is one of the fastest growing design disciplines today. Every aspect of our lives involves communication in one form or the other. A key facet of Communication Design is visual frame building. As we work towards a more harmonious and peaceful society, the first step is perhaps understanding where conflict arises from and the tools that are used to fuel and aggravate such moments of violence. Providing a holistic, practical and hands-on teaching and learning environment for students is crucial. This offers them a strong foundation to develop and practice these skills and grow into not only adept and proficient designers but also compassionate and well-rounded individuals who strive to make the world a better place for all – one step, one visual, one narrative at a time.
