One Step At a Time

One of my favourite concepts I’ve learned so far in this class, has been the Story Spine. It’s such a simple concept, and so easy to follow if you’re experiencing writer’s block or struggling how to start (or finish) a story.

When tasked with creating an infographic, I knew that using the Story Spine would translate to a digital infographic very easily as at its core, the Spine is a set of blocks upon which to build a story. There’s a natural progression to the Story Spine where the previous concept leads into the next, which is where the reader’s eye travels naturally in an infographic.

I found the template on Canva, which was perfect with the book character at the bottom to further illustrate the storytelling subject. I added the circles on the left side as I needed to add an extra heading to each concept. I feel it’s a simple graphic that helps illustrate the simple concept of the Story Spine.
