5 SKILLS FOR GETTING STARTED


WHAT IS MURAL?
MURAL is a visual workspace that helps you collaborate
together. ‘Murals’ are giant boards to map out content.

Everything is securely saved in the cloud. Collaborate


wherever you are to keep your creative momentum.

People use murals for all kinds of team activities:


○ Design thinking & innovation
○ Product & service design
○ Planning & management
○ Marketing & branding
○ Research and journey mapping

zoom in to see the detail instead of making it larger.
