DESCRIPTION

Visual Storytelling has always been a part of the human experience - from cave paintings and comic strips to training films and documentaries, visual narratives are an extremely effective way to engage participants in a virtual experience and establish a point of view that is truly unique. Technology has given us a plethora of affordable, high-quality visual options that has leveled the playing field allowing global participation and exposure. The sheer number and accessibility of this information has its drawbacks – creating a pool of want-to-be authors with pages of image content that is ubiquitous, uninteresting, inconsistent or perhaps counterproductive to the client’s communication and branding objectives.
