Description:

From Google to AirBnB, companies are using storyboards (or comics) to effectively explain and market their vision and products. In this webcast by Kevin Cheng, author of "See What I Mean: How to Communicate Ideas With Comics". He will talk about how to get someone to pay attention to your ideas—no illustration skills are needed.

From this webcast you will learn:

  • Why storyboards are a "trojan horse" of information, teaching your audience without them knowing
  • Get basic tools for creating your own storyboards—even if you think you can't draw
  • Establish a repeatable process in your organization.
  • How to sell this method to stakeholders
  • How companies like Adobe, Google, eBay, and the US Postal Service, created storyboards for customer support, internal processes, and marketing
