视觉叙事指南
Guide to Visual Storytelling
导读
这是一篇讲“视觉叙事”的指南,作者分享自己如何用插图配合文字讲故事,但评论区的高赞读者几乎一致反馈:读不进去。对写作者的价值不在方法本身,而在于这组批评精准暴露了图文混排最常见的失败点:图与文抢注意力、示例与讲解分不清、缺少主线。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
图文混排时,单张图承载的信息越多,读者越容易只看图、漏掉文字,插图应当辅助文字而非取代文字。
- 02
把“给文章配图”说成“发明了一种新叙事媒介”会透支读者信任,谈方法时先如实界定自己在做什么。
- 03
示例和讲解要在视觉上明确区分,否则读者分不清哪张图是范例、哪段是作者的观点。
- 04
长文图文交替必须有一条贯穿全文的主线,读者习惯先快速扫读,抓不到主线就不会投入时间细读。

配图技巧被包装成“新媒介”,言过其实,反而削弱说服力。
不想说得太刻薄,但我实在看不出这里有什么值得关注的。给我的感觉就是,为了给一篇博客文章配图,搞出了很大的阵仗。“插图帮我讲故事、和读者沟通”这话没错,但由此推到“我发明了一种新的叙事媒介”,就有点过了。

Trying not to be too negative, but I don’t really see what’s of interest here? Strikes me as a lot of fuss to make over illustrating a blog post. “Illustrations help me tell stories and communicate with my readers” is great and all, but going from there to “I’ve invented a new medium of storytelling” is a bit rich.
图文混排密度过高,读者既无法读文也无法看图,不如二选一。
谢谢你分享经验。不过我不确定这算不算讲故事的指南,至少对我完全没起作用。我没法专注于内容,因为被冗长的图文混排分散了注意力:既有含文字的图片,又有大段文字。我更愿意要么只看图、看幻灯片,要么读一篇结构清晰的文字文章,配不带文字(退一步说,配图表也行)的图片,但这篇对我来说太过头了。希望它能找到自己的读者。

Thanks for the effort to share your experience! Though, I don't know, if this is the guide how to tell the story- it did not work for me at all. I could not focus on the outcome as was distracted with the ultimately long mix of images containing text and blocks of text. I prefer to consume stories either from pictures/slides only, or from a structured article with text, containing text-less images (or diagrams at worst), but this was too much. But I hope it will find its audience. Good luck!
示例与讲解混在一起,读者分不清图的作用,就找不到主线。
这篇文章大概有可学之处,但我实在找不到它的主线。这也许是我的问题,因为我习惯先快速扫一遍全文,再决定要不要花时间细读。视觉素材让人困惑,因为常常分不清它们是某个示例故事的一部分,还是对文章观点的解释。

Probably there are things to learn from this article. However, I could not really find the red thread from this. This might be my fault, as I tend to scan the whole document with speed before investing my time on it. The visuals were confusing as it was not always clear if they were part of an example story or explanation of the articles ideas.
可以参考漫画的主次关系:视觉主导、文字嵌入,而不是两者平行竞争。
和上面几位一样,我也很难跟上这个故事。我的感觉是,问题出在文字和图片结合的方式上。图片里的信息太多,会让我把注意力放在图上而不是图外的文字,结果漏掉了一部分信息。我觉得视觉叙事作为概念很有意思,但也许需要采用类似漫画的方式:视觉部分占主导,文字部分嵌入其中,这样更容易跟读。

I also had a difficulty following the story as the rest of the commenters above. My feeling is that this was caused by how text and the images were combined to tell the story. Images contain too much information and tend to make me focus on them instead of the text outside them, so I was ending up missing part of the information. I find visual storytelling interesting as a concept but probably it needs an approach similar to comics? The visual part is dominant and the textual part of the story is embedded to it, so it's easier to follow.
