Crafting a great storyboard

A well planned out storyboard can really help streamline the animation process. If a client can clearly see how the animation will be structured, how it will flow from scene to scene, they can begin to visualise how everything will come together.

Simply place your digital sketches or illustrated scenes in order within the template, add a little explanation of what's going on underneath each frame, and export the whole thing as a PDF to send over to your client.

Using the free storyboard template

The free storyboard template is free to use on both personal and professional projects. Just open it up in Adobe Illustrator and away you go!

To use the storyboard template, first open it in Illustrator: because the file is an Illustrator template file, Illustrator will create a blank new project for you, be sure to save your storyboard immediately so you don't lose any work.

We recommend designing each of your storyboard scenes as you normally would (in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or another program), then create a JPEG export of each scene. Finally, import each JPEG as a linked file into the storyboard template and place them in order within the squares.

The benefit of using the storyboard template this way, is that whenever you change or update a scene, all you need to do is update the linked JPEG file and illustrator will update the entire storyboard for you.
