Introduction
Learn key principles of storytelling and how to apply them to design problems and solutions.
Workshop Dates: July 13โ17, 2020 (2 pmโ10 pm CEST)
Faculty: James Zhou & Ben Healy
What is this workshop?
Storytelling is an extremely important skill for designers and researchers to master. This workshop will teach key storytelling strategies and techniques used in a variety of media, including fiction, non-fiction, film, art, and design; and show how to apply them to interaction design through a series of discussions and exercises. We will take a rapid prototyping approach, and explore the ways designers can benefit from strong storytelling skills at every stage of the design process.
What will you learn?
Participants will learn how to approach design problems through a narrative lens, and how to use storytelling as a tool in research, brainstorming, and prototyping. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to take inspiration from a range of sources and create clear and compelling stories to apply to their design.
