Design: the production that doesn’t forget the consumer

  I have learnt from creativity and design that the market often doesn’t pursue that someone claims to know.  A clear example is in the case of economic recession when the persons tend not to spend money for superfluous expenses but reduce their purchase to essential. Not even the infamous free obtains in certain event the forecast consent as often the sector tempts exorbitant advertising, pyramidal schemes and other illegal things.  It’s happen to discover in market and marketing analysis for the pre-supply  of an artwork or design project that sometimes that you think cannot like obtains more consent rather than that you think can like.   The company that produces common objects it knows rightly the market study continues also after production and marketability of products.  The study extends what the consumer likes, the level of satisfaction of purchase and if the use of product is the same which is created and produced.  The designers sometimes lik...

Commercial brand: where do you come from and what do you represent?


In a previously post I have talked about persona branding, the brand borns and grows up with the person. 

Among the things planned for artistic pseudonym there was a provision, if necessary, for a possible change of plans for others necessities of trade type. It's happened that in consequence of my entry just in the trade sector and marketing I have opted for a change of plan on brand name. 

It’s born so SPAZIOFORMADSGN, a new visual identity that it has the scope to lead the artistic experimentation into trade level with graphic patterns for design. 

It’s related to the official pseudonym from the root and features a contracted alteration on the last word related to the usability with technologies and platforms of marketing for which the official pseudonym as visual artist was too lenght. 

The words that compose it are always the same “SPAZIO” “FORMA” “DESIGN” but the last word is in a contracted form “DSGN”. 

In the evolution from architecture and art to design I have preferred the contracted form because it’s corresponded better to technical characteristics and marketing needs also to release completely the commercial area from the visual artist that it interested in artistic experimentation. 

I would say there and back from design considering already as contestant in the competition I was interested in industrial design. 

How would be a brand that it have to keep a free market and have to be visionable and indentifiable soon in the commercial sector? 

I would say related to the person that it starts the activity but not necessary to its name and surname because also in the businesses some pseudonyms goes right in comparison with the real name. 

We must remember  always that we can speach of trade we can meet the taste and the necessities of consumers and the sperimental art cannot be always the right pattern for design. 

A design have to be not only attractive but also reproducible from technical point of view and the brand have to represent the thinking line of the founder but not necessary it have to tie to its personality. 

In the case of an artist the pseudonym represents the thinking line of the visual-artistic experimentation but in the design some sperimentations are not possible. 

The commercial brand keep something from that thinking line but being trade obviously take a look to another point of view: the merchandising and the consumers which the product is addressed.

Creative and security information specialist: the indipendence is a imperfect world of freedom

  I was hoping don’t write again a critical post on some arguments because this publication is born with a different purpose, but the persistence of events not related to my will oblige me to write again a critical post. The indipendence and the freedom of thinking taught me by my parents, in south of Italy they often clashed with events didn’t depend from my will but from the circumstances where the diversity and the creativity aren’t view as an added value that can innovate a process for the improvement of society.  Before me, many independent creatives and ethical hackers have talk about this subject, I could have to refrain to speak but I’m a creative coder and sometimes I don’t accept the interference of some people that aren’t in the sector of creativity and computing.  Many people define itself “creative”or “security information specialist”, also when it’s not so.  A client call a physician, a lawyer or an accountant because you need of that professional worke...

Notes from creative journey: “The thinking behind design”

  I begin again to write after a long time of silence and after I have kept at a safe distance the world of writing. It’s not easy to return on one’s steps, especially if you are a visual creative who uses the writing for the necessary to explain the own projects.  It’s hard to explain to people who read you, the reasons which take you to open a publication on web, it’s hard to not think how you can make known the arguments each time you will discuss if you know these arguments are not common but there are few people interested them.  I think the first post must be a preface on what we would like write in the following posts. It must represent our imaginary line on which to pin down the topics we would like to talk about, a reference for all those times we lose sight the pourpose for which to write, a note to be read every time it’s missing the reasons to continue, an engagement to be revise to the need to reorganize own work in a new viewpoint and under new scenary....

From concept design to reality: from fractals to design

  The accomplishment of a concept goes across a long way of many phase until the arrive of the product design to market where a client can buy it and the company can verify if the product collects the consent and the expetation of clients.  If a design competition represents a way to see a great deal of possible concept or not, the accomplishment of a marketable concept is rather different. In architecture it's known before of a preliminary project there is an important step that it's to have a committment and a real demand of the architectural project respondent to the necessity of a service for city or people.  In the design it's seems similar but the planning of an object is tied to the possible industrial production and if there isn't the market or clients for that product it's useles to begin a path for the concept design to the realized product.  To plan, any object or in any scale, it's a complex operation. It supposes a synthesis of function, technique, ...
