Vision Storyboard Or Narrative
Stories are a powerful delivery tool for information visualization, empathy, and engagement.
Why use this?
To place the user as the hero in a story
To help understand how our user can overcome key challenges to save the day
To efficiently tell a story
To quickly share out problem statements, user's journey, and solutions to stakeholders
What is this used for?
Storyboards are illustrations that present sequential scenes that represent a story.
How to storyboard
Drawing skills aren't necessary for creating storyboards.
Before working on the template, start thinking about the story and its character. Create a step-by-step outline of the story. Add call-outs and emoticons to represent any emotions from a character.
Then, use the template to translate each step into a storyboard frame. Illustrate each scene as best as you can.
Stories should have a clear outcome, any benefits of a solution, or depiction of the problem.
A second template option has been provided to help you build out the narrative of your vision if you find it easier to focus on key elements of the storyline rather than the visuals.

Infographic Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Desk Research, Documentation
As we bet you’ve experienced, data can get pretty dense and dry. But you need it to be compelling, memorable, and understandable. The solution? Infographics. These are tools that let you present information in a visually striking way and turn quantitative or qualitative data into stories that engage and resonate. Whoever you’ll be presenting to — customers, donors, or your own internal teams — our template will let you design an infographic that combines text and visuals to break down even the most complicated data.
Stakeholder Analysis Template
Works best for:
Design
When designing new solutions, thinking about what people need is important. Before deciding or defining the problem, ask questions like: Who is involved? What do they care about? How much power do they have? Understanding how your work affects everyone involved is crucial. Stakeholder analysis helps you plan and might change how you see the problem.
Co-Creation Template
Works best for:
Design
The Co-Creation Template enables the visual expression of ideas using essential elements. Analysis of these creations identifies explicit and implicit needs. For instance, a human resources team may use symbols to envision their ideal work environment. The output reflects people's desires and expectations.
Zoom Levels Template
The Zoom Level Template is a tool to examine a problem from various perspectives. For more innovative solutions, consider the issue broadly. Ascending the ladder enables you to broaden your perspective (ask, 'How might we?'). When confronted with an overly broad scope that hinders progress, descending the ladder helps narrow your focus (ask 'What if we narrowed?').
Empathy Map by Axelle Vanquaillie
Works best for:
Market Research, Research & Design
Empathy Mapping template is a valuable tool for gaining deep insights into user experiences. It helps you understand their motivations and challenges, ensuring your products address real needs. Ideal for UX researchers and designers.
Low-Fidelity Prototype Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Wireframes
Low fidelity prototypes serve as practical early visions of your product or service. These simple prototypes share only a few features with the final product. They are best for testing broad concepts and validating ideas. Low fidelity prototypes help product and UX teams study product or service functionality by focusing on rapid iteration and user testing to inform future designs. The focus on sketching and mapping out content, menus, and user flow allows both designers and non-designers to participate in the design and ideation process. Instead of producing linked interactive screens, low fidelity prototypes focus on insights about user needs, designer vision, and alignment of stakeholder goals.
