Another fun IxDA Los Angeles event! This time we'll be talking about the art of Storytelling. As interaction designers, we should always be honing our storytelling skills. Steve Portigal spoke about this need in his article on Core77 called "Design Research: Practice noticing stuff and telling stories," http://www.core77.com/hack2school/portigal.asp. This salon will focus on how we can use storytelling in our design practice to create better interactions and communicate our designs in a way that resonates with our audiences.
We'll hear from seasoned, storytelling experts over yummy food, cookies and hot cocoa. Get into the holiday spirit with us as we learn from our terrific speakers: A team from Disney will be sharing their fantastic techniques for using storyboards to communicate design. They'll explain how and when to incorporate storyboarding into your design process to make the most impact. We'll also hear from a trans-media storyteller who has been spearheading a project to breath new life into storytelling by telling tales from classic literature through new media (Think Pride & Prejudice told via Facebook!). More details to come… Join us to learn how storytelling can bring YOUR designs to life in the minds of your stakeholders and customers. 50 person max.
