Storytelling in Web Design: 10 Great Examples

Storytelling in Web Design: 10 Great Examples | The Web Design Guide and Showcase | Scoop.it

In “Storytelling in Web Design,” I explained the three most basic aspects of storytelling — character, setting, and action — and offered ways to begin including storytelling in web design using basic design elements..."

Robin Good's insight:


Here are ten illustrated examples of how storytelling can be an integral part of any web design and communication strategy.

The examples are nice and inspiring, and by simply looking at them, you can start to imagine in which way your own story could be told more effectively by using this approach.


For each one of these you also get to know the character, setting, and action found in each story.



Very useful. Excellent examples. 8/10

Web Design Innovation: How To Break Rules and Conventions By Using Focal Points In Design Layout

Web Design Innovation: How To Break Rules and Conventions By Using Focal Points In Design Layout | The Web Design Guide and Showcase | Scoop.it

From the article intro:

"Successful design in publishing, advertising, web design, illustration and anything else that ties together elements depends on drawing in the reader and leading their eyes across the page.


Some people think it’s not a big deal and that designing a page comes naturally because of cultural lessons we learn growing up and looking at design from childhood yet few, if any understand why it works the way it does."


In reality things are not simple, natural or obvious, especially if, you are in the group of those who do not just want to follow the mainstream standards but who like to break out of conventions and innovate while bringing greater value.


But how do you achieve that, unless you are already a great designer?


What are the rules that can be broken?


This good article by Speider Schneider provides some good basic advice, on what is needed to head properly in this direction.
