If there is something I love about internet, is the sharing of knowledge. Two of the blogs I have been following religiously are Logic+ Emotion by David Armano , VP of Experience Design with Critical Mass, and Innovation Playground by Idris MooTee CEO at idea couture.
This presentation I’ve discovered at one of those weekly readings at David Armano’s blog and followed the link until subscribing googletechtalks Channel at youTUBE.
Regarding the presentation it self, it is a precious piece of knowledge for marketing professionals, designers and all of those working on innovation towards improving user experience.
The presentation is done for Google employees by design consultancy Adaptive Path staff membres, presenting the book “Subject To Change”.
As Philippe Stark put it “Nous sommes des transmetteurs, des traducteurs.” about designers, and i think we can extend to marketing too … I believe the role we have as designers and marketing professional is to provide the best user experience to the customer. In order to do so, we have to immerse ourselves in the context and experience of the user and translate it i to an improving / delight / WoW touching point with our product / brand / company.
This presentation underlines “compilation of thoughts”. Good to take some notes, I know I did !!

“(…) Nous sommes des transmetteurs, des
traducteurs. Il n’y a pas de rôle plus ambitieux que cela. Je ne pense
pas que la créativité existe ou que la création existe. On reçoit des
choses existantes. Tout existe. Je n’ai pas dessiné un presse-citron en
forme de pieuvre parce que j’ai vu une pieuvre, mais parce qu’un jour,
en hiver, dans une petite île du sud de l’Italie, j’ai commandé une
pizza qui est arrivée au bout d’une heure et quart. Je me suis fait
chier et, parce que je me suis fait chier dans une petite île sinistre,
j’ai dessiné un presse-citron.(…)”

en présentent le
documentaire – starck versus starck – réalisé par
Vassili Silovic et présenté au festival INPUT2008
Original title: Stark contre Starck
Original language: French
Running time: 52’
Country: France
Year: 2007
Genre: Documentary
How does one portray a man who refuses to
talk about himself? That’s the challenge taken
up by director Vassili Silovic in this documentary
dedicated to Philippe Starck. The infamous
designer set the rules right from the start: no
digging into his past, no talking about his career
or even design, and none of his pieces can be
shown. If this documentary was to be made, it
should be about his mind. Challenged to this
tour de force, Vassili Silovic has doubts, accepts,
and then enthusiastically rises to the occasion.
The lm is a two-man show in which two
personalities work together on a crazy project.

Quando pensamos no mais bonito objecto, dificilmente nos lembrariamos de um aplicador de preservativos.
When reflecting about what would be the most beautiful object, probably not a Condom Applicator
No entanto se pensarmos em Africa, nomeadamente na Africa do Sul o cenário muda de figura.
Nevertheless when thinking about Africa, a country where HIV is a major problem the picture changes.
Num continente que é dizimado pelo HIV, uma simples pelicula de latex pode contribuir para que tal não aconteça.
Refectindo de novo sobre a beleza de um objecto .. o panorama muda.
Na cidade do Cabo aconteceu, um aplicador de preservativos desenhado por um local, Roelf Mulder, foi eleito o Mais Bonito Objecto de Design, no congresso Design Indaba.
“a beleza de um objecto está para além da sua forma, englobando também o seu potencial económico e sobretudo social”
“The beauty of an object goes beyond its form … “

“…to demonstrate how the digital revolution may operate at a material level, presenting solutions to the immediate needs of the populations … to give back to individuals the capacity of creating what they really need. “
“… demonstrar como a revolução digital pode operar ao nível material, dando soluções às necessidades imediatas das populações … devolvendo aos indíviduos a capacidade real de criar o que realmente precisam.”

An interjection similar to “Yay!”, as in: “w00t!!! I just got a raise!”
Often used for small victories the speaker dies not expect to be of
special interest to anyone else. Some claim this is a bastardization of
“root”, the highest level of access to a system (particularly UNIX), originated by script kiddies as a 133tspeak equivalent of “root”,
and said as an exclamation upon gaining root access. Others claim it
originated in the Everquest multiplayer game as an abbreviation of “wonderful loot”. Still other claim it on originated on IRC as the “Ewok victory cheer”] Adj. w00table has the sense of “cool” or “nifty”. This is one of the few leet-speak coinages to have crossed over into non-ironic use among hackers. ( Answers.com , Urban Dictionary )
