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 3 was focused on imagining a state that takes care of its people (in particular artists), which is something more than any private innovators can accomplish.  As such, the team that thought it up can’t accomplish it on their own, but would require leverage with those who can.  As such the entire exercise is the “stuff of dreams.”  After looking at what discourages people from going into the arts, they began to think of the most practical means to eliminate those barriers. While artists in the US have to choose between poverty, part-time art or giving up, other countries with healthier arts ecosystems provide the income and healthcare required of artists. This answered the team’s central question, “How might we create incentives that provide artists with their basic needs and mobilize the public and private sectors?”
