Design Is Storytelling
This book explores the psychology of visual perception from a narrative point of view.
Presenting dozens of tools and concepts in a lively, visual manner, this
book will help any designer amplify the narrative power of their work.
Use this book to stir emotions, build empathy, articulate values and
convey action; to construct narrative arcs and create paths through
space; integrate form and language; evaluate a project's storytelling
power; and to write and deliver strong narratives.
