NYCUXPA Presents: The Art of Effective Narrative, With Senongo Akpem - Tues 4/16 April 16, 2013

What does storytelling mean in a digital world? We have augmented reality, touch screens, and even geolocation technology to tell everything from mysteries to childrens' stories to our audiences.

In this beautifully illustrated presentation, Nigerian-born designer and illustrator Senongo Akpem gives you 5 powerful techniques for ensuring your story will really stick in your audience’s head. He’ll also share how effective storytelling can be combined with digital multiscreen platforms to enhance audience participation, leading directly to higher conversion rates.
