Vision Storyboarding

Storytelling is an excellent prototyping tool because it puts the concept in context, in the lives of stakeholders.  Vision Storyboards  make your thinking visual, put the concept in context, and are simple and fun. This technique, often used in the creation of feature films, compels the team to imagine an experience with their design concept. 

Team 2 recognized that people are lacking a sense of connection with their community and with the performing arts (it’s often top down and not inclusive). The team wants to encourage community members to think like designers and learn more about the arts, while thinking about technology and design processes that will allow the arts to be adaptable to changing conditions and audiences.  Using tools like group ideation, free creation, refining and go-forward creation, the community is empowered, and the arts benefit from the community’s built-in diversity. On the day of the performance or display,  both creators and audience have a sense of ownership. At the end, the community and artists add an open source vehicle to an online resource where others can replicate the basic idea. This answers the central question of, “How might we leverage a cross-medium approach to achieve benevolent creation and control with serendipity and maximize exposure and connection with audiences?”
