t e a c h e s u sHOW TO CAPTIVATE

OUR AUDIENCE

what does this have to do with storytelling & audience…?

our job as designers...is to captivate our audience

let’s continue designing our digital story...

so far we know...

- who we’re telling this story to…- how/where they prefer to consume content- what they’ve deemed as important- where their interests lay

we also know...

- it’s our job to be captivating

we also know...

- it’s our job to be captivating- this story has to incite action

understanding > captivation > action

how to:

captivation is stimulating information delivered

OR is it…?

sto·ry/ ˈ s t ô r ē /

a situation viewed in terms of the information known about it or its similarity to another.

Story: a situation viewed in terms of the information known about it or its similarity to another.

What is the the need of the user? Are you valuable?

Remember Content Consumption: shared / viewed / read / watched / listened to...what resonates with your audience?

The user only knows what the user only knowsknow what the user needs before they do...

Who’s your competition, and how do you compare to them?

the structural design of shared information environments by means of organization, labeling,

search and navigation systems

interfaces on it’s own...

the plot of our storyi.a. + content + u.i. =

I.A. + U.I = the plot of our story

plot/ p l ä t /

to devise the sequence of events in a story

understanding > captivation > action

how to:

what’s the purposeof a page...

relevance vs. importancethe never ending battle

reward interactions(what happens next…?)

i.a. + content + captivation = interfacing

appropriate contentcontent mediums: captivate. captivate. captivate.

how much is to much?balance is key… listen to your users

your interface(s) are all the characters of your story

so far we’ve learned...

- audience: segregated targets based on information interests

- audience: segregated targets based on information interests- content: the medium in which you engage and create dialogue with your audience (to captivate)

- audience: segregated targets based on information interests- content: the medium in which you engage and create dialogue with your audience (to captivate)- plot: using content, I/A, and UI to create sequential actions: moving a user toward a goal

...the takeaway

volunteers:please return to the stage...

today’s takeaway

people do not buy products

they purchase a better self-improvements

readers do not subscribe...they fulfill their need to solve problems

you are not a designer...you are a digital storyteller

continue telling stories...
