Visual Storytelling Basics
Description
Images can carry a story without much text. This mini-course starts with the fundamentals of visual storytelling and shows how to build a story concept from scratch.
The lessons then cover composition and visual hierarchy, colour and lighting for emotional impact, and characters and environments. Later ones deal with sequencing a visual narrative and applying storytelling principles across different media. The last lessons cover practical projects, refining your work and building a portfolio. The ten PDF lessons include checklists and many exercises, so each concept becomes a small piece of work that can go straight into your portfolio.
Who it is for: aspiring creators, designers and marketers who want to tell stories through images and sequences.
