Inspiration Lab - Storyboarding

This guide provides information about storyboarding and associated resources at VPL. Storyboarding is a way to convey ideas when creating visual media such as comic books, films, or animations. This guide covers aspects of visual design, digital assets, and storyboarding conventions, as well as some resources and templates for use on your own storyboards. 

The Inspiration Lab

The Inspiration Lab is a space dedicated to digital creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. We are located on level 3 at the Central branch of the Vancouver Public Library.

The Inspiration Lab features recording studios, a high-performance computer lab with audio, video and image editing software, as well as graphic design and self-publishing software including Adobe InDesign. We also have analog-to-digital conversion stations for various forms of older media.

All of our services are absolutely free with your library card!

Reserve a recording studio or drop in to use a computer workstation. If this will be your first time booking or you need a refresher on the process, review our booking instructions.
