Why Design Matters: If Snow Fall Were Published in a Standard Template
I am in beautiful Bergen, Norway, this week for the Nordic Media Festival. I gave a talk this morning on digital storytelling and, of course, everyone wanted to talk about Snow Fall.
As part of the presentation — and to drive home my point about design — I mocked up what Snow Fall might have been had our brilliant design, graphics and video teams not taken this project on.
Since a couple people asked for it, I decided to post the images here.
Doesn’t really grab you like the actual piece, does it?

Our 8 year old found the Pandemic box not put away in the storage room, so she took it upon herself to begin a solo mission. Here she is confirming the maximum hand size of 7 cards. (I had thought it was only 6. She was pretty sure it was 7 and knew to go to the rulebook to find out for certain. [She was right. A proud moment for Dad.])
Later, she came into the kitchen. “I’ve got bad news, Dad.” she began. “I ran out of turns and didn’t save the world.”
“The world’s already a much better place,” I thought to myself. “You’ve been ‘infected’ with a love of games, and it’s spreading uncontrollably.”
Thank you Wil and TableTop. May we never find a ‘cure’.
SO MANY FEELS.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/5761e81df5bcd95c1273fc8d4c38b344/tumblr_mlydzfXYUd1rbbck8o1_500.jpg)
