The 4-Panel Storyboard

In preparing materials on storyboarding for this year's NUvention Web+Media course, Daniel Eiden, one of the TA's, included the following from Ryan Daugherty's blog.



I LOVE THIS STORYBOARD.

Simple? Visual? Personas clear? Problem clear? Payoff clear? Solution explicit, focal and distinct from payoff?

Pretty impressive and lightweight. Panel 3 is what I meant by the Scene. What the user sees. No "a miracle occurs" allowed.

Could even be reduced to 3 panels if personas and problem can be conveyed in Panel 1.

I'm planning on making all my teams do these early and often.

[Update: in doing so, I have made one small tweak.]
