Good design, like good storytelling, brings ideas to life. Design Is Storytelling is a playbook for creative thinking, showing designers how to use narrative techniques to create satisfying graphics, products, services, and experiences. Whether crafting a digital app or a data-rich publication, designers invite people to enter a scene and explore what's there. An intriguing logo, page layout, or public space uses form and communication to lead users on dynamic journeys.
