Design is Storytelling
Ellen Lupton’s latest book, Design Is Storytelling, shows how designers create compelling experiences that touch people’s minds and emotions. How do we move, act, and respond when we look at a poster, a website, or a road sign? Designers can employ ideas about narrative, behavior, and humor to amaze and delight the eye and mind. This talk is illustrated with fun and surprising examples of design that will help you master the art of narrative.*
*There will be a VIP book signing prior to the “Talk” from 5:30 – 6:15 pm.
