How do designers engage with people’s emotions?
Storytelling builds connections through action, point of view, and movement through time and space. Writer and curator Ellen Lupton will talk about how we actively experience a poster, a website, or a retail environment. See how designers are building narratives in response to the urgent crises of today. Learn how to use concepts such as the narrative arc, the hero’s journey, and the rule of the threes to encourage emotional responses. Audience interaction will help participants explore the art of narrative.
This talk draws on Lupton’s book Design Is Storytelling and her online course Graphic Design History and Methods (with Brockett Horne), offered by Kadenze, the platform for creative learning online.
Programme Schedule:
- 40 minutes: Talk with interactive asides
- 20 minutes: Q&A
