Lupton Design is Storytelling 9-27

From Ellen Lupton’s Design is Storytelling reading, I was presented with a new perspective about the possibilities and uses of design. I have accepted the idea that design is focused almost solely on problem solving, but I am beginning to understand that design has a role in narrative and storytelling. Designing a narrative involves laying a foundational structure for the story to be held, and of course creating visuals can tell a story. Functional, problem-solving design can tell a story as well. Communicating values and ideas through visual design establishes a story of a brand, location, or product.
