Building my new business cases this way now ❤ Really like the how real and empowering these techniques are. Thank you!
There is a simplicity and relatability to the way you explain things that is unique! Thanks for posting this!
Watched over 10 videos on the same topic, only this one was valuable.
Wow! Great explanation, it’s really interesting the intersection between narrative and design. As an idea for another video could be great knowing the application for digital products and how they communicate their story to the users and how that can shape our designs. Thanks for this content!
It's one of the best video I came across on storytelling for designers. The content totally comes from your experience instead of old school syllabuses that everyone will copy, was very insightful with real-world examples to relate & observe. I wish you would post more videos like this Carola. with lots of love - Hemnath :)
I'm a german design student and I am really happy that I found your account!
Great channel, nice to see another Italian designer on TH-cam!
Hi Carola! Thanks for all the great content! I’ve been binging your videos over the past couple days as I design my app interface for my startup. I love how you guide through Figma tutorials and I’ll definitely be taking the storytelling methods in this video with me as I pitch to both investors and clients. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic analogy! Thank you so much for making this video!
Loved it Carola!! I have been struggling with this a lot recently and thank you for such a great explanation. I loved how you set the story for the video itself, where you explain the narrative and then connect it back to the design world. Thank you once again
Hi Carola! Thank you for this video. It was really engaging and clearly explained storytelling options. I'm going to use this for my portfolio and presentations to senior team.
Hey Carola!
Your explanation is really good.
Thanks for this video 😀
Amazing!! Beautifully narrated. Thanks for sharing.
This was really helpful. Thank you!!!
Brilliant, thank you! 😉
This video is a gem. Like the way you describe. Also the effects when you telling viewer's questions. It's funny and interesting tooo. This technique will help me a lot to advocate my designs. Thanks a lot for making this video. Hope will see more powerful video in future.
Every when she starts explaining the concept of story, me wondering what kind of video it is.
At this point your storytelling blown my mind.
Great video Carola!!
Loved meeting you today, Carola!!
Awsome explaination thank you
This is some serious content.. I was doing same like the undeniable story but never knew that..
Loved this explanation of the practical applications of storytelling in our work. Storytelling is one of those buzzwords that is ubiquitous in our industry but so few take the time to actually explain what they mean by it. Love all the examples you use.
Thank you Udie, that's exactly how I felt when looking for this content myself! I needed more examples :D
Awesome, You are such a story teller, I loved the way you have explained the content with the practical examples. and for that just got another subscriber. which is ME! Keep up the Good work.
the romantic in me loves the hero's journey narrative
Hi Carola! Awesome video! I'll share your YT channel with Mumble's product and design department! :) Keep the good stuff coming!
This is great content Carola, thank you. I hope you'll continue sharing vision and ideas around storytelling and presentation. Some questions come to my mind. Whether, for instance, you have to choose one of these techniques according to the context of the presentation, and if yes, what criteria exists to choose the right technique. Or maybe there are ways to combine these techniques.
I barely write comments, but this video is just awesome!! Thank Carola you for your effort! It's going to be in my top 5 videos for UX!
Carola I really really really like your English 'cause I can understand you without subs (I'm Spanish speaker- Argentinian) xD and your narrative is sooo eloquent and your content is just great! Hugs!
I like her energy!
I found you today, watched every video on your channel, and I just fell in love with you. I see you have not been uploading on your socials recently but wherever you are, I just want you to know that you are amazing and I would love to be your friend someday.
I would like to see you more while telling up the stories :)
Loved the video. Storytelling is a great way to break from the frameworks of how stakeholders expect design to get delivered. Awesome channel, subscribed :)
Thank you so much for the thought! I love the content you have on your channel as well!
It´s very interesting and useful information! Can you do a video with some examples for every technique?
Great information for my be yard story. Reading Story Robert McKee book. thank you. 🍰
Hahaha! I just fell in love with your character!
You're so cute and profesisonal talking about design! I love it!
Great presentation on storytelling techniques Carola!! What is the name of the full-day storytelling workshop you were mentioning at 17.43 about the Undeniable story?
This is great! What I've struggled with when presenting my designs to stakeholders is that some people are very impatient and do NOT want an introduction with a narrative; I've been asked to give no introduction at all and just immediately show the finished design and not give any follow-up information before letting the room go at it. I'm still not sure how to deal with clients and other stakeholders who demand that method of presentation.
In those situations you may need to try alternative methods, like sending out a pre-read with some of the context or still spend literally 1 minute giving some kind of context.
Whoever tells you you have to show only that work clearly doesn't understand the value of framing the work with context and future thinking. You may have to spend some extra time with them convincing them about the value of taking a few extra minutes to set up the story.
Please upload a video "How do you do a project from start to finish" I badly need that :(
Hi Carola, just watched this video in preparation for a design presentation I'm doing and this really made my day! Planning to adopt the hero's journey for it :) One question I'm just wondering, is there a reason why you called the 3rd technique you shared the "undeniable story". I think its a really interesting idea but I'm just not sure why its called "the undeniable story", like why is it named as such :)
Story time 😍
Hi Carola, I have big problem presenting my designs. Im working in web agency, we have different clients and different projekts. Your video hepled me a lot, and I would say that there is a little lack of understanding for me: what should be said during presentation? What Im doing is something like - here is color, it represents this and that, and is suitable for (...), here is a typo - etc etc etc Its like am explaining obvious things. So the question from my side - is there possible that you made a video for this thema more?
Please bring more smart animation 😍🔥 tutorials , you are just mind blowing , please please bring us more videos , i wanna learn a lot from you .
Stop me from falling...🥺🙈❤️❤️
Kinda wanna know how the story in the beginning continues 😊
teachers take note, learn from the best, this could be a good place to start. @ Creala, any bet you would be good at teaching anything, just remember that things heard more than twice will most probably be believed and remembered. btw pro photographers have something called a soft focus filter.
LLOL you got me at "moving squares in 8 pixel increments" 😹 - subscribe
😊❤
Actually I need some help tu build a good portfolio. So will you plz guide us or share some references with us ?
You're too cute to learn anything from 😍
