In a modern context, storytelling is often reduced to mere entertainment or even distraction. In reality, stories matter. They bring facts to life, build human connections, and help us envision different futures in order to better inform our present-day decisions. They are the framework that supports culture and are deeply embedded in all of our creative practices. DES 3309 endeavors to uncover elements of storytelling within the design process and investigate different modes of shaping narrative. We will be experimenting with various media, including 2D design and mapping, audio, video, social platforms, augmented reality, and online environments in order to frame realities, alter experiences, and visualize scenarios.
