The Three Horizons model as a diagram. The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is "pattern". At the top of the vertical axis, Horizon 1 is the dominant pattern to start with - but business as usual is losing its fit for purpose so the line is declining as time goes on. It doesn't go to zero though as there are elements worth conserving. Horizon 2 starts somewhere in the middle of "pattern" and grows into a strong peak in the middle-term, it is labelled "innovation", and links Horizon 1 to Horizon 3. Horizon 3 starts very low but grows steadily to be the dominant pattern ("viable future") as Horizon 1 is dwindling.

A campaign banner from Cardiff Women's Aid. The photo is taken at night, and shows a woman wrapped up in a coat, hat and scarf, standing outside in front of a Christmas tree lit up with fairy lights. She's got her arms crossed and is looking downwards, with a somber and reflective facial expression. The text reads: "No woman or child should experience abuse this Christmas. Give the gift of support and help change a woman's life."
