Presentation: Comics and Design: How to tell stories with pictures and words

"Every site has a story to tell, a response we hope to elicit from viewers, from calling a senator to buying a product. As web designers, we try to tell these stories using words and pictures. But before there were web designers, cartoonists and comickers were doing the same. We can learn much from their illustrative and emotive techniques. Rachel Nabors is an award-winning cartoonist turned front-end developer and UX enthusiast. In this talk, you will learn how to apply techniques used in comics to your own web designs. Come learn how to tell YOUR site's story better!"
