Reviews
Beautifully designed book, but i found the content somewhat dull and watered down. This book is more "what is design? It's storytelling!" than "how do you tell stories through design," and i was hoping it would be more the latter. So for those of you looking to learn the craft of storytelling design, i don't recommend. I should give the disclaimer though that I'm a storyteller by trade, so maybe for a designer with no knowledge of story structure the book might serve as a decent 101 to concepts like the three act structure.
