Background information

People in today's user experience design field are from different background, such as psychology, engineering, business and other areas. Even people from the large design background covers visual design, industrial design, information design and other different design practices. In recent years, user experience design has also shown more and more team cooperation trend. How to effectively promote teamwork, promote the design and research communication and how to enhance the design value and quality have become topics of concern. It is more important and necessary to find and apply appropriate methods and tools to promote the communication, limited to different subject backgrounds and differences in individual presentation skills. Storytelling method is different from the common used user experience design methods like personas, scene analysis, user experience journey, nor is the interactive design understood by the general public. It has a 4th dimension of the user experience-time, which guides the story development by the timeline and the storyline, integrates the characters, scenes and other related factors, so as to help the user experience designers and researchers more effective express their design methods and concepts. On the other hand, in order to solve the hand-drawn obstacles, I will also be explaining how to integrate story-telling when carrying out the concept of visual expression.
