1 Develop your style

The first step to becoming a thought leader in graphic storytelling is to develop your own distinctive style. Your style is the way you use visual elements, such as shapes, colors, fonts, layouts, and icons, to express your voice and vision. Your style should reflect your personality, your values, and your goals as a graphic storyteller. To develop your style, you need to practice, experiment, and learn from other graphic storytellers. You can also create a portfolio of your work and ask for feedback from peers and mentors.

Yes, play and experiment with your new skills. Start seeing and thinking creatively in the way you want to tell your story. Understand the platform you're going to deliver it on and how to be different (color, motion, design, type, etc.). What is the way your voice will be heard and listened to over all the noise.
