#SpringSkies Day 22: It‘s a #Tragedy to tell stories wrong. Lols. Book presents given to me by my PhD student who came to visit from Sharjah. The absolute sweetest.

I just read the first essay in Pullmans collection “The Magic Carpet““ and I'm definitely speechless. Partially from a long day (awake early for an early morning appointment), a very challenging Mon at work, but most of all for the content and writing. Can't wait to read more.

quietlycuriouskate I must read this: it's been on my shelf a while! 3w

Design Is Storytelling | Ellen Lupton

I finally finished this one but I‘ll definitely be coming back to it again and again. It‘s probably my favorite design book so far as it connects two of my passions: (obviously) design and stories. There were so many books and articles referenced that my TBR list just got bigger, and there were countless practice exercises and prompts to get the creative juices flowing. I‘m excited to give them a try! Continued in comments ⬇️

jen_the_scribe The way Lupton connected storytelling techniques and methodology to design was thought-provoking and inspiring. It all makes sense as you read it and the examples drive the points home in an intriguing way. There‘s so much for a designer to unpack with this one, but personally, I find it more exciting than overwhelming. I‘m inspired and even more ready to solve design problems as the storyteller I am at heart. 4mo

“…our gaze is drawn to points of intrigue, from a dark hole in the middle of the road to a black cat lurking in the shadows. Humans instinctively look for novelty and surprise, because any shift in what we see could be a source of danger or delight.”

“Narrative helps us shuttle between representation and experience, between cultural convention and embodied, felt response.”

Mexican folklore meets science fiction in this very young adult novel.
The cover pulled me in.
