De ce designul profesional costa?

Deoarece un designer profesionist costa. Prea evident raspunsul, nu? Pentru multi dintre noi designul pare un lucru cat se poate de natural si spontan realizat fara prea mari eforturi si resurse. Astfel pretul designului n-ar trebui sa fie prea mare sau… sa nu fie deloc. Dar totusi designul profesional costa… si nu putin. Desi designul poate fi spontan si natural, el nu e neaparat si profesionist.

Ce inseamna sa fii CREATIV?

Recent m-am alaturat unei conversatii pe linkedin.com cu tema:

What does being creative mean to you?

Titlul e destul de explicit asadar nu voi intra in detalii prea mult. Va las sa lecturati unele dintre cele mai interesante comentarii ale acestui topic incepand cu parerea proprie:

We are all creative… we are born creators! So we are creating something each day: ideas, objects, sometimes we also create new people. And if you all remember your own childhood and how creative you used to be, doing things without thinking too much and how your actions affect the world around you… you will realize that as we grow older we tend to lock ourselves into a rock-solid shell created by our environment and the society we live in which gradually restrains our creativity… well that’s too bad!
But some of us still have that inner child which makes us just a bit more creative than others… how do you drink your coffee? How do you slice ur bread? How do you walk? How do you eat? How do you sit down? You’ll see that there aren’t 2 people in the world that have the same walk or do all these things identical. So you see, creativity can be expressed by anything you do and specially how you do it! You can even stand up and do nothing creatively!

Parerile celorlalti:

• Being creative is actually telling my mind ‘Dude, u need to think differently. So many people do the same things in a similar fashion everyday. Is there an alternative to doing that thing in the first place? Can it be done in an innovative manner?’. I say I have to “tell my mind” is because everyday I compromise – my job, my way of life… yet I strive hard to bring about subtle creative differences in these aspects of life.

Sfaturi pentru a fi un designer mai bun

Este foarte important sa intelegeti ca designul unui program de identitate inseamna mai mult decat crearea unei sigle. Identitatea constituie designul total. Fiecare mod in care se manifesta o organizatie reprezinta o parte din imaginea respectiva si desi importanta, nu inseamna nimic fara sustinere.

Pentru a fi un designer bun in domeniul corporativ trebuie sa intelegeti perfect ce sunt sistemmele de identitate si ce cauta ele sa realizeze. Multi designeri nu reusesc sa aibe succes, fiind ca pornesc de la permise false, se concentreaza asupra unor aspecte gresite.
