Storytelling
- beginning
- Telling a compelling story is formed of three resources
- Situation
- Inciting accident
- Solution
- resolution (hopefully involving those for whom I tell the story)
- at the end
- give something to take away
- sum up expectations, what was delivered and how it matches those expectations
- different arcs
- get inspired by movies, literature etc – they are great at storytelling
- one of the most important skills of a designer
- every headline is a positioning
- evocation over information
- the message has to make you feel something
- When coming up with copywriting or storytelling
- put yourself into the shoes of your audience and ask yourself - does it sound useful or bullshit? what the heck this thing do?
- how would you refer your friend about the product you just found out? would it "unleash your full potential" or you'd just say "dopest to-do-list because of X..."
- A headline is a hook and should work as a hook
- ideally expressed with brevity and clarity – 3 or 4 words
Headline structure
- show me the problem and then solve it
- look at how it looks on tiktok
- Solution pitch structure
- 1] first communicate that I understand you and your problem
- 2] to get your attention remind you of the problem
- 3] present you with a solution
- that's what helps to structure headlines
- main headline asks the question
- subhead is as clear as possible in what it does
