7. Visualizing New Solutions
Innovator Studio . DT Methods . 26 min Primer
Learn how to use story-boarding as a light-weight prototyping technique to rapidly work out the solution details that matter in a human-centered, experiential way.
Story
This Primer includes a Stanford d.school project turned Silicon Valley Startup story that demonstrates the power of rapid prototyping and iterative testing.
Activity
Select 1-2 promising solution directions and rapidly visualize them as a storyboard. Envision how your new solution(s) shows up in the life of who you’re designing for as an experience. Consider the scenes (spaces & places), actors (stakeholders), and props (touchpoints, products/processes) required to move their new experience forward. Add visuals (sketches, or images) to bring your storyboard(s) to life!
Resources
Leverage the storyboarding worksheet (included in the DT Ideation Kit) to get started, then finalize your storyboard(s) in MURAL if you’re using the DT Dojo Design Project MURAL (template).
