CREATIVE WORKOUT:
Creatively conjure up a cybersecurity message using only visuals. Why? Because a strong image adds a liitle va va voom and can turn ‘I’ll do it later’ into action.
Step 1: Pick it out
Choose one of these cybersecurity messages to work with:
‘Change your password to stay cyber safe’
‘Think before you click. Phishing can cost you’
‘Lock your screen when you leave your desk’
Step 2: Map it out
Grab a pen (or your favourite app) and mind map visual ideas that could communicate your message. Think animals, symbols, emojis, warnings, whatever captures attention fast.
Or think about the emotion behind the message: Should it feel serious? Clever? Playful?
Step 3: Sketch it out
Turn your best idea into a quick visual. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it could be stick figures and simple. Something that could live on a poster, screen, or social feed.
Show your sketch to a fellow Bootcamper or colleague. Can they guess the message? You’re on the right track if it sparks a pause or a smile.
