Vision Storyboard Or Narrative
Stories are a powerful delivery tool for information visualization, empathy, and engagement.
Why use this?
To place the user as the hero in a story
To help understand how our user can overcome key challenges to save the day
To efficiently tell a story
To quickly share out problem statements, user's journey, and solutions to stakeholders
What is this used for?
Storyboards are illustrations that present sequential scenes that represent a story.
How to storyboard
Drawing skills aren't necessary for creating storyboards.
Before working on the template, start thinking about the story and its character. Create a step-by-step outline of the story. Add call-outs and emoticons to represent any emotions from a character.
Then, use the template to translate each step into a storyboard frame. Illustrate each scene as best as you can.
Stories should have a clear outcome, any benefits of a solution, or depiction of the problem.
A second template option has been provided to help you build out the narrative of your vision if you find it easier to focus on key elements of the storyline rather than the visuals.
