Illustrate & summarise story's key concepts (by a professional illustrator)
Most authors are not professional writers. Some ideas are great but not easily digestible. Did you know AirBnB's success is partly because professional photographers come take pictures of your house after you post your AirBnB ad? This makes for a great browsing experience for new visitors who are looking for a place to stay, and it will make you (the poster) look good. MIX could do the same. Get a professional illustrator create an image of the stories key concepts for and easy and comfortable navigation. The best read stories can be displayed like Pinterest with the key image and a quick summary first, and a click through option to read the whole story
Hi Joris, thanks for this idea--high impact and practical!

Hi Joris,
I fully agree with you! I have addressed the need for cartoonists and other artists in a similar hack, and we're just discussing how to engage them into our community. Would love to hear your ideas, too!
