design with a story
What does that mean? Well, it means two things: 1) design with a story, and 2) design with a story; the complications of the English language, I know. As shown, the emphasis is two-fold.
All designs have a behind-the-scenes story about how they came to be. About how all the stakeholders and decision makers influenced, for the better or for the worse, the eventual results of the campaign.

design with a story.
