Design as visual communication (lecture on), TAW 2012Fabio Arangio
What makes design distinctive is the ability to build a visual structure so that we can predict the user’s experience of a product. That is made possible because design is an act of communication, a visual communication that speaks straight to our innate ability to comprehend symbols as meanings through shapes, colors, proportions and alignments in a given space.

Semiotics: How To Increase Meaningfulness, Effectiveness & Cultural Relevancy...Dr. Martina Olbert
Brand communication suffers from over-saturation, fragmentation, inconsistency, or worse a sheer meaninglessness in the local markets worldwide. What's lacking is the cultural relevancy, which drives innate value of brands and triggers purchase behaviour. Globally unified and adapted brand contents often fail to resonate with the local specifics of people and culture. Semiotics can serve as a great instrument to increase cultural relevancy and stimulate brand growth from bottom up. In this presentation, you'll find the methodological approach to increasing brand's cultural relevancy and a couple of practical examples of optimising brand communication in the Czech Republic. The focus here is on redefining meaning in the beer and detergent categories, as well as the meaning trajectory of femininity in the Czech cultural context.
Here is a draft deck to be used for a South by Southwest recap report once the Austin, TX conference wraps.

It covers info for marketers and brands, hot technology startups (mainly Meerkat), and some stuff about tacos, drones, and whatever else is happening.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Nightthomasard1122
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

2. HELVETICA
Origin: Helvetica is a popular sans-serif typeface developed in
1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with Eduard
Hoffmann to compete with the Akzidenz-Grotesk font in the Swiss
market. The aim of the design was to create a neutral typeface that
had great clarity, and could be used on a wide variety of signage.
In 1960, the typeface’s name Neue Haas Grotesk was changed to
Helvetica in order to make it more appropriate for the international
market. ‘Helvetica’ is Latin for ‘Swiss’. Throughout the years many
variants of the typeface were developed.
Uses: Helvetica is a popular choice for text logos and company
names, including those for 3M, American Airlines, BMW, Jeep,
JCPenney, Lufthansa, Microsoft, Motorola, Panasonic and many
more. It is also found on NYC subway signs and US government
forms.
Movie: In 2007, a documentary film was made about Helvetica
to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the typeface. Its content
consists of a history of the typeface along with interviews with
leading graphic and type designers. The film aims to show
Helvetica’s beauty and ubiquity, and illuminate the personalities
that are behind typefaces.
Helvetica is clean, serious, legible, and often used for government
and public transport signage. I chose this font because I use it a lot
in my work for brochure text, business cards and the like. It is very
neutral yet not at all outdated and gives a European feel to things.

3. BRAND
Marc Jacobs is an American fashion designer. He is the head
designer for Marc Jacobs, as well as Marc by Marc Jacobs, and
has been the creative director of Louis Vuitton since 1997.
Jacobs introduced his namesake line in 1986 and quickly became
the youngest designer ever to win the CFDA Perry Ellis Award
for New Fashion Talent. Marc Jacobs is to America what Miuccia
Prada is to Italy. He stuns, delights and scares the fashion world
and most of his collections make references to the fashions of
past decades from the 1940s to the 1980s. He also likes to use
unexpected models in his campaigns (Charlotte Rampling, Dakota
Fanning, Posh Spice), and fashion photographer Juergen Teller.
Marc Jacobs started grunge style, and the brand defines grunge
meets classic style with trends mixed in with the individual style
of the company. Marc Jacobs advertising campaigns are raw,
ecclectic and sexually suggestive. The images often raise the
obvious question: where are the clothes? But fans of the designer’s
work will recognise the unconventional approach to Marc Jacobs’
advertising campaigns.
