A note on
file formats:
Most of the files on this site are in slide (presentation) format,
which we’ve found is the best way to develop and share storyboards in
distributed teams. The slides are in Open Document Presentation format.
To use them,
download one of the following: StarOffice
(the inexpensive office productivity application from Sun
Microsystems), OpenOffice (a free
version of the office productivity application), and NeoOffice (a free version available
for the Mac).
Credits:
These templates were developed by Martin Hardee with inspiration from Casey Cameron, Kevin Cheng, and the web design teams
at Sun Microsystems, Cisco and other companies. Illustrations, by ISD Group, are free for
you to use. Please add a credit line at the end of your slides or
storyboards (see the slides for an example).
