Physical foam core boards are still used to communicate design vision prior to product development. Much time is used creating and revising these boards and reviews must all be done in the same location.
Storyboard takes the offline process online by allowing your designers and merchants to rapidly develop themes, brand concepts and assortment lines boards and share them with internal teams, as well as with your customers and partners. The initial design concept process becomes more structured and collaborative thus reducing lead times in the product development process.
Using templates from the library or by uploading images, you can create product, fabric, trim, embroidery, label, color, palette, print and pattern, construction method and silhouette assets. Assets used in a board can also be added to the library. Basic data can be entered on each asset.
You can easily develop and revise boards by dragging and dropping assets (or images with basic data) onto a digital board. Assets can be modified, copied, hidden and replaced easily. Images created with Fashion Designer can be colorized using color and fabric swatches that are either uploaded or taken from the library. Once a line has been approved, boards can be shared with Product Manager and products are created automatically from the data stored with each asset type. You can easily collaborate by simply adding text notes or sticky notes.
