Learn to use a method that’s been embraced by large corporations such as Google, eBay, and Adobe, startups like Twitter and Foodspotting, and agencies including Adaptive Path and nForm. In See What I Mean, Kevin Cheng, OK/Cancel founder/cartoonist and co-founder of Incredible Labs, will teach you how you can use comics as a powerful communication tool without trained illustrators.

  • Use comics as a way to engage users early and solicit their feedback
  • Sell the value of the method to the rest of your organization
