The colours that dresses your brand are playing an important role in how they support this personality that you want to portray. Don’t panic when a colour speaks one thing, but in the relation to the brand it delivers a slightly different response.
Check out these examples of how brands used in conveying their message through branding and banner advertisement.

The Great State of Design with CSS Grid Layout and FriendsStacy Kvernmo
For far too long we've been forced to reuse layout patterns that have worked in the past, creating a web full of sites that all look the same. Narrow timelines, browser support restrictions and lack of a true grid system have led us to create work that is "good enough".
I've spent years exploring how we can make the web a more unique space. With some of the newer CSS techniques available, we can start to make more creative designs. CSS Grid Layout is on the horizon and will play a major role in the design of our sites. Finally having a true, 2 dimensional grid will give our layouts much more flexibility and it is on us to explore the possibilities.
This talk was presented at CSS Day 2016.

Designed experiences make the difference between belonging and rejecting; between connecting and missing; between believing and doubting. The threshold can be slight — everyone knows when you’re fake-smiling. As UX designers, we make it our mission to invite people to belong, connect, and believe. Storytelling gets us there. From understanding stakeholders and contexts to crafting experiences that resonate and delight, storytelling gets us to the moments that count. In this talk, we will discuss how you can use storytelling to pinpoint compelling UX opportunities — opportunities that invite a flicker of hope in the hearts of many and inspire action.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. HOW DO YOU DESIGN FOR
CREATIVITY?
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BUCKET BRIGADE
and a plea to help foster creativity in the classroom
2. “CREATIVITY IS THE PROCESS
OF HAVING ORIGINAL IDEAS
THAT HAVE VALUE.”
– SIR KEN ROBINSON
http://bit.ly/educationbrilliantlyput
3. CREATIVITY IS ALSO
THE PRODUCT OF
A DYNAMIC SYSTEM.
IF WE WANT TO FOSTER CREATIVITY,
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE
ELEMENTS OF THAT SYSTEM INTERACT.
4. DIVERGENT THINKING
CONVERGENT THINKING
AT ITS CORE,
CREATIVITY FLOWS
FROM THE INTERACTION
OF TWO FORCES.
5. DIVERGENT THINKING IS THE FREE
FORM, OFTEN SPONTANEOUS,
EXPLORATION OF MANY NOVEL IDEAS.
CONVERGENT THINKING IS THE SEARCH
FOR THE MOST CORRECT ANSWER TO A
CLEARLY DEFINED PROBLEM.
6. DIVERGENT THINKING IS IMAGINING
100 UNIQUE USES FOR A PAPERCLIP.
CONVERGENT THINKING IS YOUR
TYPICAL STANDARDIZED TEST.
8. DIVERGENT THINKING CAN OFTEN LEAD
THE PROCESS OF PROBLEM SOLVING,
CREATING MANY POSSIBILITIES TO BE
WINNOWED DOWN BY CONVERGENT THINKING.
BUT TRULY CREATIVE IDEAS ARE OFTEN
BIRTHED FROM MANY ROUNDS OF GOING
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO.
9. DIVERGENT THINKING REQUIRES THE COURAGE
TO MAKE MISTAKES, THE FREEDOM TO PLAY,
AND A PUSH TO EXPLORE NEW PERSPECTIVES.
CONVERGENT THINKING REQUIRES NECESSITY,
WELL DEFINED OBJECTIVES, KNOWLEDGE,
AND REASONING SKILLS.
10. THE DESIGN OF SYSTEMS AND
ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTER
CREATIVITY IS A PROCESS OF
BALANCING EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR, AND ENSURING INTERACTION
BETWEEN, DIVERGENT AND
CONVERGENT THOUGHT.

AS WE GROW OLDER, WE TEND TO BECOME
SPECIALIST THINKERS, RELYING HEAVILY ON A
SINGLE MODE OF THOUGHT.
GROUPS THAT BALANCE CONVERGENT AND
DIVERGENT THINKERS ARE ABLE TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS MORE EFFECTIVELY.
13. SO WHY DOES CREATIVITY MATTER?
CREATIVITY IS
THE MEASURE
OF OUR RESILIENCE.
IN A WORLD WHERE THE
FUTURE IS NOW MORE
UNPREDICTABLE THAN EVER
BEFORE, CREATIVITY IS AT
THE CORE OF OUR ABILITY TO
WEATHER UNFORESEEN AND
DISRUPTIVE EVENTS.
14. THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP
A NEW CROP OF CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS.
NOWHERE IS CREATIVITY

16. AND BECAUSE THE FUTURE IS A PLACE
WE’D ALL LIKE TO VISIT SOMEDAY,
EACH OF US HAS A PART
TO PLAY IN DESIGNING IT.
PLUS, IT’S KINDA FUN.
17. HERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS
TO GET YOU STARTED.
EXERCISE YOUR DIVERGENT THINKING,
GRAB A PEN AND PAPER AND PUSH
YOURSELF TO COME UP WITH
10-20 UNIQUE IDEAS.
18. IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE A SYSTEM, THE
MOST POWERFUL WAY TO START IS BY
QUESTIONING THE PARADIGMS BEHIND IT.
WHAT IF CREATIVITY WAS CONSIDERED
JUST AS IMPORTANT AS LITERACY?
EXERCISE: WHAT WOULD AN EDUCATION
SYSTEM BE LIKE IF IT PUT CREATIVITY AT
THE CORE OF ITS VALUES? WOULD IT
SPLINTER SUBJECTS INTO DIFFERENT
CLASSES? WOULD IT GROUP CHILDREN
SOLELY BY THEIR AGE? WOULD STUDENTS
SIT IN DESKS? WOULD TEACHERS NEED
CLASSROOMS? QUESTION THE MOST
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF HOW SCHOOL
SHOULD BE RUN AND HOW STUDENTS
SHOULD BEHAVE.
19. A SYSTEM IS ONLY AS EFFECTIVE AS THE
GOALS IT SETS FOR ITSELF. TODAY’S
EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS ONE MYOPIC
FOCUS: MATRICULATION.
EXERCISE: SET NEW GOALS FOR
EDUCATION AND EXPLORE HOW TO
ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. FOR EXAMPLE,
WHAT IF WE EXPECTED SCHOOLS AND
STUDENTS TO HELP SOLVE REAL
PROBLEMS IN THEIR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES? HOW WOULD YOU SET
THAT GOAL, HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN
INTERACTIONS (GAMES, SCIENCE FAIRS,
TRIPS) AROUND ACCOMPLISHING
THAT TASK?
20. IF EDUCATION IS THE ANSWER TO
CONFRONTING TOMORROW’S CHALLENGES,
THE SCHOOL SYSTEM MUST HAVE THE
ABILITY TO ADAPT TO THOSE CHALLENGES.
HOW DO WE EMPOWER STUDENTS AND
SCHOOLS TO SELF-ORGANIZE AND EVOLVE?
EXERCISE: THINK ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES
THAT WOULD HELP STUDENTS AND
SCHOOLS MAKE PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE
FUTURE – AND THEN CONFRONT THOSE
PREDICTIONS. HOW DO WE EMPOWER
STUDENTS TO SELF-ORGANIZE AROUND
THEIR PASSIONS AND TALENTS?
21. IF SCHOOLS SEEM TO BE RUN BY MIDDLE
MANAGERS, IT’S BECAUSE THEY ARE.
IN ANY SYSTEM, THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE
THE RULES DEFINE BEHAVIOR THROUGH
THEIR OWN CONTEXT.
EXERCISE: WHAT WOULD SCHOOL BE LIKE
IF SOMEONE ELSE CREATED THE RULES,
PUNISHMENTS, AND INCENTIVES? HOW
WOULD TED DESIGN LECTURES TO INSPIRE
CREATIVITY? HOW WOULD A JAZZ
MUSICIAN GIVE HOMEWORK? HOW WOULD
A GAME DESIGNER UNLOCK
ACHIEVEMENTS FOR CREATIVE IDEAS?
22. THE TRIED AND TRUE INCENTIVE FOR
EDUCATION, THAT A DEGREE ASSURES A GOOD
JOB, IS NO LONGER AS TRUE AS IT ONCE WAS.
EXERCISE: HOW DO WE REWARD CREATIVE
BEHAVIOR? OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, THE MOST
COMMON SYSTEM FOR REWARDING
CREATIVITY IS CALLED CAPITALISM. WHAT
CAN WE LEARN FROM THAT SYSTEM? CAN WE
APPLY IT INSIDE SCHOOL?
23. INNOVATION IS THE PROCESS OF
REMIXING NEW TECHNOLOGIES INTO
EXISTING SYSTEMS. TODAY, INNOVATION
PLAYS A BIGGER PART IN MARKETING
PRODUCTS TO KIDS THAN FOSTERING
CREATIVITY IN THEIR CLASSROOM.
EXERCISE: WHAT TECHNOLOGIES BELONG
IN A MODERN CLASSROOM? HOW SHOULD
THEY BE USED TO FOSTER COLLABORATIVE
CREATIVITY? HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE
CONTINUAL INNOVATION IN THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM?
24. A GENERATIVE RELATIONSHIP IS ONE THAT
PRODUCES NEW SOURCES OF VALUE THAT
CANNOT BE FORESEEN IN ADVANCE. IN TIMES
OF DYNAMIC CHANGE, ORGANIZATIONS NEED
TO CULTIVATE AS MANY GENERATIVE
RELATIONSHIPS AS THEY CAN.
EXERCISE: WHAT BRANDS AND
ORGANIZATIONS STAND FOR CREATIVITY
AND/OR HAVE AN INTEREST IN A MORE
CREATIVE WORKFORCE? THINK ABOUT WHAT
VALUE THEY CAN BRING TO THE TABLE TO
CREATE NEW CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR STUDENTS.
25. Try on New
Perspectives
Reward
Curiosity
Define the
Foster an Problem for
Atmosphere
HOW MANY IDEAS DO YOU HAVE SO FAR?
Yourself

HERE’S A FINAL EXERCISE TO HELP YOU
GET TO 20 UNIQUE IDEAS:
Be
Persistent
MATCH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
DIVERGENT THINKING ON THE LEFT, WITH
Encourage
THE ENVIRONMENTS STUDENTS FIND
Mistakes THEMSELVES IN, AND THE TECHNOLOGIES
Urge THEY ARE LIKELY TO USE. FOR EXAMPLE,
Non-conformity HOW CAN WE REWARD STUDENTS’
CURIOSITY, ON THE BUS, USING THEIR
MOBILE PHONES?
