This is something I say all the time, but from a writer's perspective rather than from a reminiscent perspective. The fact is, people don't care until you give them something to care about. If you want a stakeholder to care about an experience you're designing, give them something rich to work with, like a sound byte from user research, etc. Don't tell me people are frustrated with the way things are, provide examples so I can see it for myself. I think this is why I like sketchnotes, too. Sketchnotes show the way my brain processes information in a visual way that others can relate to; by studying my sketchnotes, others are able to interpret and make their own meaning. And that's the heart of show and tell, right? Thanks for writing this, JW. This is something I say all the time, but from a writer’s perspective rather than from a reminiscent perspective.
