STORY PAGES

The main story must be told on a series of pages. These pages are the main focus of the storybook and you must allocate enough time to design and create them.

 

Don't be too distracted by the animated endings! There is no point in having a great ending if there is no story to go with it.

 

Don't be tempted to skip the detailed design stage in favour of creating the pages. Use your detailed designs to help you create the pages.

 

Make sure that you have all the assets you need, using your detailed designs to help you.

 

Create each page using your detailed designs to help you.

 

Test each page to make sure it is fit for audience and purpose. Make use of feedback from test users, including members of the target audience if possible.

 

Check the complete set of pages:

• are they consistent?
• do they tell the story in an effective way?
• is the decision point clear?
• do the different routes through the story make sense?

Remember that this is a storybook so all the action should take place on the pages. Make sure that all multimedia components are embedded and don't open in new windows.

 

Save the pages in your storybook folder.

 

Update your assets table.

 

Update your plan and project log.
