Haiku:

water drip

measuring the silence

between us



For my third poster, which is also a storyboard, I wanted to design an app based off the haiku with its literal meaning.


I started off my planning with the world building of its targeted users:

When? Modern day with its current technologies

Where? In a busy city centre

Who? Two people who are matched on a dating app but don't have the time to verbally communicate with each other at the time

What? An app that will allow both parties to show affection and build a relationship through silence. This is designed as an idle tap game where matches can visit each other's gardens and water plants as rainclouds.


I decided to make my storyboard in a linear structure which showcased the design narrative of articulating and presenting the app through the form of an advert. This is with the intent on how the app could influence people with the secondary content of explicit and implicit meanings in relationship building.


This brainstorm identified the key scenes, which made making the rest of the storyboard easier.


Since this was a presentation for a phone app, closeup shots of its functions were highly important in sending a clear message.






Then it was considering the transitions between frames, which I chose to be an interweaving of scenes with the users and the app performances. This highlights how interactions work for this app and its impact on people.


Although the storyboard was built around the structure of setting the scene, twist, reveal and closing scene, the horizontal orientation of three panels did not allow each group to be read together.




For the final, I made the reading orientation vertical so setting of the scene, twist, reveal and closing scene could be easily identified:



Additional details were added in the final version. One was the backgrounds because they strengthen the context behind the app design and how it could work in that environment. Another was the action arrows, which help clarify the storytelling in individual panels, especially when the storyboard was limited to only twelve. These arrows were clarified through highlighting the objects of action to create a sense of flow throughout the storyboard.
