Motto: “Design is intelligence made visible.” - Louis Danziger


What DESIGN means to me or... 

DESIGN - Drawing Life&Ideeas


The Universe is intelligent designed!
Everyone is its own major life designer or it should be!
It has already proven that the freewill can make similar persons (twins for instance), that are exposed to the same environment, to react in different mode on the exactly same situation. One of them could be a cold-blood with no empathy for no one while the other one can develop compassion and kindness for the people around. So, this is why I think that our freewill is the greatest gift from all we can have in this life and beyond that! The power to draw your own path!
At the first sight it seems that we are free to do anything. But hey, not everything we wish for or not everything we do is useful for our wealth or for our evolution and this is how we could easily lose our freewill "captured" by the illusion of a so-called "freedom-to-do-whatever-we-want".
So, to take responsibility of such a valuable gift is not an easy thing to do. First of all we need to keep our good sense, our empathy and integrity and we need to learn from experience and respect the history of culture as you want to be able to do new improvement, innovation and to bring genuine ideas into our world.
We shouldn't be afraid to lose or to make mistakes, but we need to use all of these things to gain experience and to anticipate the next right movement for our fate witch is our permanent design.
If we apply these principles to a business we see that a commercial plan must also have an intelligent design to be efficient and sustainable and it should be very focused when it comes to reach a goal of quality, target-sales and awareness. 
We do not design things to be just "pretty", but especially to be as functional as can be.
The story design must have a good strategy to full-fill all the goals in a very efficient way.
So, there's for, we love to design as the architect design a building or as an engineer is designing a hi-tech vehicle or robot. The brand image of a product or service is not just some visual art, but a simplified complex of meanings and dynamic perspectives that delivers an functional message and offers an insurance for quality and usage purposes of the product transmitted.
We live by our and comforting feelings not as automatic product selectors. Many times we don't admit that we are choosing things being led by our emotions avoiding to reveal us as weak and frivolous but surely we have many conscious and unconscious subjective reasons to do so. We are not robots even we are led by some things...The feeling and emotions is not a programmable but is not a program code. It is human. We should respect and delight the senses of people. The advertising is not evil, but the materialistic concept of humanity who feed our fears and spread an manipulation so-called "anti-manipulation" it is mischievous. We are human beings, we need power to chose, variety, colors, particularity or trends. We cannot live underneath a cold list of products and codes. That's why the design help us to chose, to feel and to take part of a particular mode of living. We all know that the makeup for a women can hide easily any unwanted details and can change physiognomy in order to deceive the reality behind, as well there are some women who put their makeup with style just to express themselves in a very artistic manner showing their actual mood witch can be very creative and true, even the "mask" is far from the natural face. The expression of that makeup can show much more truthfulness from inside that person as a "discreet make up" does. So don't try to make the from the weaknesses some straights. Just try to uplift the weak parts as much as you can, but mainly you should build your straight more and more to warn a good balance and after that you could reach the edges that you want. Seek out for your super-powers and train them continuously to become the best in what you do!
I wish you, not the best luck, but a great courage and power-to-focus!


Most of the following material it is more representative for the past (over 20 years design)
It is also represent my fundamental up-ground from where I launch, with much better sight and knowledge, my actual or next strategies and concept designs.



Despre DESIGN

Tot ce ne înconjoară se numește DESIGN

Universul este inteligent conceput!
Fiecare dintre noi este propriul său designer principal al vieții sau ar trebui să fie!
A fost deja dovedit că liberul arbitru poate face ca persoane asemănătoare (gemeni, de exemplu), care sunt expuse aceluiași mediu, să reacționeze diferit în aceeași situație. Unul dintre ei ar putea fi rece și lipsit de empatie față de oricine, în timp ce celălalt poate dezvolta compasiune și bunătate pentru cei din jur. De aceea, cred că liberul arbitru este cel mai mare dar pe care îl putem avea în această viață și dincolo de ea! Puterea de a-ți trasa propriul drum!

La prima vedere, pare că suntem liberi să facem orice. Dar, hei, nu tot ce ne dorim sau facem este util pentru bunăstarea noastră sau pentru evoluția noastră, și astfel ne putem pierde ușor liberul arbitru, „capturați” de iluzia unei așa-numite „libertăți de a face orice vrem”.
Așadar, să ne asumăm responsabilitatea pentru un asemenea dar valoros nu este un lucru ușor de făcut. În primul rând, trebuie să ne păstrăm bunul simț, empatia și integritatea, să învățăm din experiență și să respectăm istoria culturii, pentru a putea face noi îmbunătățiri, inovații și să aducem idei autentice în lumea noastră.
Nu trebuie să ne fie frică de eșec sau de greșeli, ci trebuie să folosim toate aceste lucruri pentru a câștiga experiență și a anticipa următoarea mișcare corectă pentru destinul nostru, care este designul nostru permanent.

Dacă aplicăm aceste principii în afaceri, vedem că un plan comercial trebuie, de asemenea, să aibă un design inteligent pentru a fi eficient și sustenabil, și trebuie să fie foarte concentrat atunci când vine vorba de atingerea unui obiectiv de calitate, vânzări-țintă și conștientizare.
Nu proiectăm lucruri doar ca să fie „drăguțe”, ci mai ales pentru a fi cât mai funcționale.
Designul unei povești trebuie să aibă o strategie bună pentru a îndeplini toate obiectivele într-un mod foarte eficient.
De aceea, iubim să proiectăm așa cum un arhitect proiectează o clădire sau cum un inginer proiectează un vehicul hi-tech sau un robot. Imaginea de brand a unui produs sau serviciu nu este doar o artă vizuală, ci un complex simplificat de semnificații și perspective dinamice care transmite un mesaj funcțional și oferă o asigurare pentru calitatea și scopurile de utilizare ale produsului transmis.
Trăim prin și pentru confortul sentimentelor noastre, nu ca selectori automați de produse. De multe ori, nu admitem că alegem lucruri conduși de emoții, evitând să ne dezvăluim ca fiind slabi sau frivoli, dar cu siguranță avem multe motive subiective, conștiente și inconștiente, să facem asta. Nu suntem roboți, chiar dacă suntem conduși de anumite lucruri... Sentimentele și emoțiile nu sunt un cod de programare. Sunt umane. Trebuie să respectăm și să încântăm simțurile oamenilor. Publicitatea nu este malefică, ci conceptul materialist al umanității, care hrănește fricile noastre și răspândește o manipulare așa-numită „anti-manipulare”, este insidios. Suntem ființe umane, avem nevoie de puterea de a alege, de varietate, culori, particularitate sau tendințe. Nu putem trăi sub o listă rece de produse și coduri. De aceea, designul ne ajută să alegem, să simțim și să participăm la un mod de viață particular.
Știm cu toții că machiajul unei femei poate ascunde ușor orice detaliu nedorit și poate schimba fizionomia pentru a înșela realitatea din spatele acesteia, la fel cum sunt și femei care își aplică machiajul cu stil doar pentru a se exprima într-un mod artistic, arătându-și starea de spirit actuală, care poate fi foarte creativă și autentică, chiar dacă „masca” este departe de fața naturală. Expresia acelui machiaj poate arăta mult mai multă sinceritate din interiorul acelei persoane decât un „machiaj discret”.
Așadar, nu încerca să transformi slăbiciunile în puncte forte. Încearcă doar să ridici cât mai mult părțile slabe, dar în principal ar trebui să-ți construiești punctele forte din ce în ce mai mult pentru a menține un echilibru bun, și după aceea vei putea atinge marginile pe care le dorești. Caută-ți super-puterile și antrenează-le continuu pentru a deveni cel mai bun în ceea ce faci!

Îți doresc, nu norocul cel mai bun, ci un curaj mare și puterea de a te concentra!

Majoritatea materialului următor este mai reprezentativ pentru trecut (18 ani de design).
De asemenea, reprezintă fundația mea de bază de la care lansez, cu o viziune și cunoștințe mult mai bune, strategiile și conceptele mele actuale sau viitoare.
