Seemingly mechanical and relatively unintimidating, can the practice of assembling collections of concepts and terms related to content areas of interest— of building taxonomies— be harnessed to render accessible, navigable the intellectual spaces we wish to explore?

Time to (re)design and glean those punked out immersive best practices.

I am always intrigued when visuals render challenging concepts more approachable, if not understandable. To my mind, the drawings below speak to the communicative power of lines. Minimal marks placed thoughtfully are capable of creating an entire world—or scene at least— in the viewer’s mind.

In the context of Di6!, this has lead to the addition of a new card entitled “Make your Mark” that will challenge players to trace their paths through the events and obstacles they encounter as they build their narrative totems. Vision, direction, and trajectory: find your north star place it on the map.

Quality over quantity!
From intersections and overlaps emerge patterns.
A possible syntax of narrative relationships?
Storylines and gestalt psychology: continuation and continuity.
