Introducing the Find Your Story Facebook App | Expedia App

From www.youtube.com - February 10, 1:02 AM

Introducing Expedia's Find Your Story Facebook app. Simply upload the photos from your trip and share your journey with friends. Get started at www.findyours.com (takes you to Facebook).

 

http://www.fastcocreate.com/1682365/expedia-encourages-you-to-find-your-story-with-new-app

Now, Expedia has handed the "Find Yours" storytelling over to its customers with an interactive Facebook app that allows users to make their own transformational videos. The app accesses users’ pictures from Facebook or Instagram and uses Google Maps to create a slide show video of their travel photos. People are prompted to answer questions such as “what are you looking for” and choose locations, photos, filters, and music in order to create their own shareable short film.

Kim Zinke (aka Gimli Goose)'s insight:

Free.  But you must have a Facebook account.  I created one based on my trip to Africa a few years back. https://www.findyours.com/gallery/4323 ;

People support your organization for one reason: They view your organization as the agent of change they seek.  If they had the resources, they’d make the changes they desire by themselves. But they don’t, and that’s why you’re in their lives.  So when you tell the story of your cause, you need to show how supporters ultimately create the outcomes.

 

One powerful way to tell your orgs story is with an infographic. Read the full article to find out more about these five tips for creating effective infographics:

- keep it simple

Data Visualization and Infographics: Using Data to Tell Your Story | Idealware

From idealware.org - September 2, 2012 1:38 AM

A look at the difference between "data visualization" and "infographics", and includes a few good examples of tools to help you create both.

 

Data visualizations take complex sets of data and display them in a graphical interface – for example, in a chart or on a map – which allows the user to gain deeper insight into patterns and trends. Infographics use data visualizations in concert with text and other tactics to tell a story, make a point or communicate a concept.

via flickr.com Love this set of doodles from Sunni Brown on the art of storytelling by Robert McKee. All businesses should take the art of storytelling seriously, it really can set you apart from the competition.

 

There are great points about story here for every business person. I particularly like, "Don't imitate anyone," and "It's not language, it's far beyond that."

 

Keep this one for your infographics file :)

Defined as “graphic visual representation of data, knowledge or information,” Infographics are being used in a variety of ways to tell a story.

1, Define your goals.

2. Research your data and provide fair and balanced information.

3. Sketch your page so the information provides unity, variety and hierarchy.

5. Match your graphic or visual element to the purpose of your content.

6. Make your content sharable.

Infographics is short for information graphics. They are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly. And they have become prevalent not just on the internet, but in print newspapers and magazines as well.

 

The thought of attempting to create an infographic yourself can be intimidating. But luckily, there are free, easy-to-use tools available that can help someone with virtually no graphic design skills (like me!) create interesting, dynamic, and informative infographics.

- Visual.ly

- Piktochart

- further resources

- and an assignment to get you started on your first infographic

Infographics for Nonprofits: The New Storytelling | Community Organizer 2.0 | How to find and tell your story | Scoop.it
From www.communityorganizer20.com - January 11, 2012 1:13 AM

What are the story elements an infographic can use to be more effective?

It needs to be emotionally engaging in ways that offer people a way to make a difference Metphor A beginning, middle & end with a story arc Statement of a problem and ways for resolution Story triggers -- graphics and words that trigger stories within the minds of viewers A point, a key message Suggested actions to take

 

Not all infographics need to tell a story. Before embarking on creating an infographic, ask yourself the following strategic questions:

Who is my target audience? What important information does my target audience need or want to hear? Is the purpose of the infographic to share information, educate people, or create a context for understanding an issue? Is the purpose of the infographic to spark action -- either donations, support, or advocacy? What is my key message? What do I want my viewers to take away from the experience?

 

If you answered YES to #4, then you need your infographic to tell a story.  If you answered YES to #3, then your infographic only needs to convey information.

 

Go read the article for more great infographic insights.
