The method 5W2H in the design and in the project management

  In the context of design and project management are used methods or charts ground to proceed in consolidate way to design so to not distract the designer from main objective.  One of these is the 5W2H method that it is based on seven questions or seven pivot points on which either the project or the designer have to respond and from which it cannot escape in the design process.  The seven questions are listed below:      What      Why      Where      When      Who      How      How much  In the context where it is applied the method, we have as first point WHAT that it represents the problem to solve, a product to create or an objective to reach in the context of design, of management or of communication.  We have as secont point WHY that they are the motivations to solve or the necessities that they take to design or to reach the objectives in the conte...

Art and design: a vision and not only a product to consume

  If you think that the art could be a product to consume rather than to appreciate probably you are going to read the post of wrong person, you are going to watch the wrong artwork or you are going to follow the wrong artistic current.  Art finalized to create social events with the only scope to extend the list of possible salespersons we have many, so I see in this operation of everything and immediately in fast time a simply activity of marketing or an event of aggregation aimed to grouping some people for that scope.  Market research say that the creative sector is a sector that create workplaces and it will be for this motivation that in this sector they all end up there and often they are only persons that they fell like that and they aspire to be the last news of the sector on the web or of the press.  What will be in reality the art in an marketing operation?  An event with annexes and connections without a real answer to old word ARS . A way to keep bu...

Persona branding: where do you start and how do you build an identity?

    Where do you start when you finish a course of study or you decide to show your own competences on a curriculum vitae for search a work?  Obviously from the name that you will present, but the creators (architects, designers and artists) would say you also from a portofolio online which you present your own works and an identity that it may not be your real first and last name.  As previously I said, the own first and last name aren't always the best choise to present you in the professional and/or commercial online world or in the reality.  It's necessary to think also the possibility to create a pseudonym and in these cases the creation of a pseudonym will follow us all the life as an identity also it supports the own real first and last name.  It's an important choise that sometimes it can predict a change of plans and therefore the artistic pseudonym can be in fact a commercial trademark.  Then in these cases we can do a question: what our pseu...

Art not replicable: the creativity and the process of creation

  " Even if done well, a copy is always a copy, the original is always original "   Art isn't only talent and/or study but it's also and especially experimentation and process of creation.  You can draw very fine, you can know all artistic techniques, you can have the best tools possible and imaginable, you can have a good sense for aesthetics and colors, but if you don't experiment and create your process of creation you are only a good professional man of art but you don't have personality.  The personality consents to distinguish you from others in the daily life and in any profession but it's fundamental in the art: it consents you to give a form to imagination, it consent you to imagine and give a form to the thinking through a mental process that it's a distinguishing sign of the artist.  That distinctive sign can be imitated but it will not be never like the original, you can copy an image and repeat the technique but never the process of creati...

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 happened 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 l...

Cybersecurity: "The return of the procedure"

  I’m here to write again of cybersecurity in a different point of view from the vision of other people can imagine.  Many persons asked me to talk about cybersecurity in a special session but for me it’s impossible.  In my experience of design contests, also online, I have learnt that the consolidated procedures exist and they belong to security and legal section than creativity. An example are the contests for industrial design where is obligatory that the project:  doesn’t infringe the patents and copyright of others,  didn’t publish,  it remains unpublished until the exit of results and sometimes until the option of acquisition from the promoter of contest.  So it happens either the contest platform or contest organization or candidates have to put in operation the procedures to prevent flight of news or other problems on projects before the exit of results. I can say that the iter doesn’t belong to creativity but meet the discourse of defence of c...

Fractal art and generative art: caos and order between forms and colors

  When we speak about art, all of you consider classical sectors as painting, sculpture, photography and cinema without thinking that also in the programming and in the math there is the development of new artistic paths in line with the graphics and the digital art. They suppose a background of knowledge more extensive lied to mathematical algorithms and complex computer programming.  If the experience in the fractal art allowed me to extend the artistic and mathematical competences, the generative art allowed me to put in practice this competences from the point of view of programming in a different way and in relation with digital graphics.  The common vision of both arts is in the fractal formulas on which is based the study of dinamic systems, in both cases we find the caos in the algorithms and only the designer decides how sets order.  The fractals are geometric object with the character of auto-similarity as defined from the chaos theory and are described as ...

Fractal images: from the math of color and forms to deconstruction

  When the first time I have deconstructed a fractal image, it's not been a good experiment, but all experimental artist know that the wrong attempt sometimes open new ways on different horizon.  The image is still in the web and sometimes come out from the memories of google search...  Sometimes maybe we are very conscious where we want to go but it's not always the initial path the right way to began because it's uneven, above all "the technique needs time to be refined and the theory needs time to be developed".  The first images used were bidimensional and today I yet continue to work on that technique to deconstruct the fractal images inspite there are 3D software for fractal art and I often work with generative art where I use algorithm in movement rather then static images.  The choise to deconstruct a fractal image it's not a chance; the fractal images are interesting but I wanted something different; I wanted my fractal images will be recognizable fo...

Creative and security information specialist: the indipendence is an 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 journeys: “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....
