Sequential Design - What Comics Have Taught Me About Design
When most people think of comics they think of larger than life heroes or over the top cartoon characters. But what makes these big ideas work? It's the spaces in between the details that tie all the elements togethet that make the big moments gigantic, and the special moments memorable.
It's the same with design. Whether you’re wireframing an app or crafting the UI for a corporate website, the design is the story you tell. The visuals and the message work together to craft the experience.
You've already learned everything you need to know to about user centered design from comics. Brad will guide you through the basics and explain how design can tell the big stories, the little stories, and everything in between.
