Design as Storytelling
Design as Storytelling
$23.00
Good design, like good storytelling, brings ideas to life. But do we design professionals know well the narrative mechanisms that make our designs alive? Is it possible that we are already using some of them without knowing it? What other techniques can storytelling tools provide us so that the result of our work points directly to the hearts of its users? This book is precisely a guide to resources and strategies to learn how to apply the techniques of storytelling in the creation of graphics, products, services, and experiences.
When planning the design of a digital application or a data-rich publication, designers are inviting the user to step inside and explore a scenario. Editorial design, branding or attractive and intriguing commercial spaces use communication strategies that guide and accompany the user on a transformative journey. With this book, Ellen Lupton manages to discover these dynamics and the functioning of visual perception from a narrative point of view. Drawing from dozens of tools and concepts explained in a vivid and visual way, it will help any design professional to understand, play and amplify the narrative power of their work.
Act I. Action > Discover the narrative patterns that support stories, such as the narrative arc or the hero's journey, and learn to apply them in the relationship that users establish with products and services.
Act 2. Emotion > Understand the link between design and our feelings and moods. A user's emotional journey can go from irritation to joy and you can accompany that journey.
Act 3. Sensation > Learn about the importance of perception and cognition, key active and transformative processes. Explore stimuli inspired by the principles of Gestalt psychology or the concept of affordance.
Aftermath > Does your project illustrate an action well? Does it include a call to action? Have you developed empathy with potential users? Do you encourage the user to get involved in an active and creative way? We will give you tools to achieve it!
