#boat

30 Jan 2015 by melodyjoykramer




If I had a boat, I would name it “#boat.” But I get seasick, so I don’t think a boat is in my cards.

Speaking of cards, I’m very intrigued by the info cards mentioned in this piece. I wonder why we limit ourselves to thinking vertically. My friend Kevin is thinking about the horizontal plane as a way to provide more or different information to readers. The KnightLab created Timeline.js to think about time as a means to tell stories. Timeline is a new app that just launched that also uses a timeline as a frame for stories. Detour just launched; it uses geography as a way to frame and then stories.

How else can we frame stories? How else should we tell stories? What are the actions throughout our day that may provide insight?

Happy Weekend,
​Mel
