Some stories are naturally visual, and when recognized and developed, this visual potential can take the story in new directions, expanding its impact across different mediums. We’ll walk through a case study showing how a story originally intended for the page evolved into a short documentary and photo series, which later sparked an ad campaign. This and other examples will highlight the power of visual storytelling, the process of finding visual metaphors, and the benefits of embracing new ideas when strong visual opportunities arise.
