Free Guide: Using Images for Visual Storytelling | CauseVox | How to find and tell your story | Scoop.it

One of the most effective ways to tell stories is through images. Images evoke emotion — the root of what drives your nonprofit or cause. We found this free guidebook developed by the Center for Social Impact Communication at Georgetown on how you can use images to create an impact. It walks you through the types of images you should be using and how you can systematically capture them.

 

Oooo, ooooo, ooooo -- I love free guides! And here's one on how you can use images to create visual stories, or to trigger a story within the reader's imagination.

 

Happy Friday and enjoy grabbing your free guide! I hope it helps you add fabulous visuals into your stories, or create compelling visual storytelling.
