Design Lessons from Storytellers
Alternative Uses of Storytelling
The use of storytelling can be found in team-building, training and marketing. A short story may be used as an introduction, so that everybody starts to adjust their mindset to absorb and reflect the emotions and feelings embedded in the story and what comes next. You may find stories in business presentations, carefully written by content strategists, in advertising and, of course, in copywriting. It is easy to see how words and speech in different contexts can tell stories. We are used to reading and hearing stories, but how can you help tell a story with design?

"UK Museums on the Web 2009: The everyday web: situated, sensory, social"
Today, the Web is becoming increasingly a more multi-sensory place, with new visual interfaces, rich sound content, where content can adapt to our physical location, and even where interactions can be triggered by bodily movement. Likewise, software and services (just like our content) can today move with us.
This year UKMW will look at digital heritage in the everyday - situated, sensory, social.
"What can all of this tell us? Museums are creating YouTube videos but only a small number of users watch them and an even smaller number interact with them.

In this paper we illustrate how Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), combining lightweight information architecture with advanced search paradigms (like faceted search) and interactive visualization strategies, can be used to better support a number of communication goals.
Students developed a set of prototype smartphone apps for the Museum of Modern Art, based on a field study of museum visitors. After synthesizing their research findings and developing a set of personas, the students began prototyping and testing their product concepts. Finally, they presented their concepts to a panel of representatives from the Museum of Modern Art. These presentations reflect the research and design methods used throughout the process.
