ABSTRACT
Storyboards are used in user-centred design (UCD) to clarify a scenario that describes the future use of a system. Although there are many styles of storyboarding, the graphical notation and language are very accessible for all team members of a multidisciplinary team. This papers describes how principles and techniques from comics can facilitate storyboarding in our COMuICSer approach and tool. COMuICSer formalises the way that storyboards are created, while preserving creative aspects of storyboarding. In combination with tool support for COMuICSer, this simplifies the relation of storyboards with other artefacts created in UCD such as structured models and UI designs and supports communication in multidisciplinary teams.

Conceptual design: from user requirements to user interface
CHI '98: CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe role of design fiction in participatory design processes
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionParticipatory design is in essence very malleable as any design technique could lend itself to it, as long as users and stakeholders are involved. Design fictions however, have more often been used as either a vehicle for critical designs, or as a sheer ...
When you can't talk to customers: using storyboards and narratives to elicit empathy for users
DPPI '03: Proceedings of the 2003 international conference on Designing pleasurable products and interfacesAlthough an essential part of customer-centered design is the customers themselves, in some circumstances, talking with them is not always an option. What can designers do in such situations to better understand peoples' physical, cognitive, and ...
