Creating a Content Flowchart
The process involved creating an organizational chart which compiles the information into
a workable framework which a storyboard can be based on.
Creating a Storyboard The storyboard is usually created after the content
flowchart and gives a visual representation of what the project will include and how each section of the project
links together in the proposed theme.
Presentation
The storyboard must be presented to the project group after completion in order to look for any interaction problems and
to discuss whether or not the right theme has been chosen for the project.
Editing the Storyboard
After the storyboard has been presented any problems or errors must be addressed and edited into (or out of)
the storyboard.
