(These slides don't show up at all well in slideshare at the moment. Please downloads the file). A talk given at @media 2007 (Europe) on how to collect ideas and inspiration from everywhere, how to store it, and how to use it.
Tutorial: T01
My presentation will be about my long lasting career and well as my professional activities i.e., chances I had to work with different graphic design projects and dealing with different media, etc. This presentation will focus on my collections of Graphic Designs which are very distinctive from another. The intent here is to show both, my diversity of style, and to highlight a wide range of experiences. I believe that if you enjoy the work you do, you can call yourself lucky, and I’m lucky that I can express myself through graphic design.

"Swell" is the latest in the beginner's experimentation in "common art" as a stress reliever in a time of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic (which some predict to end a year from now, so September 2022). This slideshow includes some new learning in terms of digital image editing.
"Sluice" is the latest in the "alcohol ink drip playing" series in a time of the pandemic. This is a form of "common art" by a beginner. It combines both the alcohol ink works and digital image editing using AP 2021 and AI 2021. These were taken on in part for coping with challenging times but also focusing on experiential learning...of the art materials and digital image editing.
"Evaporation" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series as a reprieve from the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic...even as there is progress in protecting humanity against this pathogenic virus with broadscale vaccinations. The slow return to normalcy is gaining traction. Let's all get to the other side of this safely.

The slow return to normalcy is gaining traction. Let's all get to the other side of this safely.
"Waves" is the latest in the "alcohol ink drip playing" series as a coping mechanism for facing an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This work includes more digital image editing with both Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Adobe Illustrator 2021. There is some new learning in both tools...and a little new learning about alcohol inks and synthetic papers.
"Emulsion" is the most recent addition to the "alcohol ink drip playing" series started in January 2021. The works here are all seeded with alcohol ink paintings on synth paper. By July, I am hoping to have acquired a few more capabilities in the digital image editing area. Thinking visually is a reprieve from other projects where it's mostly thinking symbolically and linguistically.
"Freeze" is the latest in the series of "common art" pieces using alcohol ink drip playing as well as digital image editing. This series was started in January 2021 as a stress relief in a time of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic. My purpose was to learn both about the materials and some of the other lesser-used aspects of the software tools.
"Meanders" is the latest in the "alcohol ink drip playing" series as a means of living through the time of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic. In the U.S., thanks to the extraordinary vaccines, life is returning to some semblance of normal. This slideshow has some more light experimentation.
"Turbid" is the latest slideshow in the alcohol ink drip playing series to recognize the pandemic moment. So glad to see the progress being made with the vaccines...even as there are slower spots around the world.
This slideshow "Trickle" continues the play with alcohol inks and synthetic paper, this time with the addition of paint brushes to apply some of the inks. The results do not look that different. I will be wearing gloves for future applications though so as not to stain my hands with drips from the bottle onto the brush and elsewhere. This work is part of the series related to using "common art" to deal with the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic. As people are getting vaccinated, the return to a pseudo-normal is under way...gradually...reasonably. Many of us are engaging in the home improvements and repairs that were put off. This work does not have a visual that is called "Trickle," but that may be for sometime later.
"False Light" is the latest in the series dealing with coping through "common art" during a pandemic. The works are those created using alcohol ink drip playing on synthetic paper and then digital image editing of those visuals seeded with the alcohol ink pieces. The idea of "false light" is not derogatory here. It is about visual illusions and human visual systems...and the artificial enablements of digital image editing (but also the artificial enablements of digital ink on synthetic paper).
"Overflow" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series. This was started in January 2021, a year and a month into the COVID-19 pandemic. Going to "common art" is a salve in a time of stress. These have helped in the transition to back-to-work in F2F settings (since late April 2021). I am hopeful that public health authorities and others can keep working this issue for all the world's peoples.
"Waterway" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series started in January 2021, as a way to relieve stresses from the pandemic. There do seem to be positive signs stateside for the next (short or long) while.
"Mist" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series, which was started a year into the COVID-19 pandemic as a form of stress relief and play. This series is also about learning more of the skills related to digital image editing, for work purposes.
This is the latest in the "common art" series to cope with the stresses of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic. Today is the day of my second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Step-by-step, societies are starting to unwind the massive harms of this zoonotic pathogenic virus. There have been sobering lessons about what humans actually do in a time of crisis, both positives and negatives. Here is to hope.
"Live Sea" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series. This series was started as a way to relieve stress dealing the pandemic, which is ongoing. This work includes some digital re-do's on some older visuals in this series. This work is uploaded during the presenter's long-overdue vacation.
"Stippling" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing "common art" series as a stress relief during the pandemic. This slideshow "sketchbook" is the first to use some of the AI "style transfer" and "landscape mixer" capabilities of the neural filters in Photoshop.
"Slow Melt" is the latest slideshow sketchbook in the alcohol ink drip playing series to help alleviate some of the stresses of the current pandemic and historical moment.
"Frost" is the latest in the alcohol ink drip playing series, which was started a year ago today...as a relief against the tensions from the pandemic. This is being reposted since the prior version represented three visuals awkwardly, perhaps because I went with a compressed .pdf. The new full-screen depiction of the slides on Scribd's SlideShare is wonderful.

Stand for something and do something: Breakthrough marketing of big brands.
----
Marketing today's modern brands absolutely requires that a brand stand for something that is relevant to consumers -- so that they will want to engage in a conversation with you. Then, the brand has to engage in the conversation consistently, over time and in a variety of channels.
As a case study we'll look at the work Leo Burnett has
done for P&G Secret. The 50-year purpose and heritage
of the Secret brand has been to help women be fearless
by giving them the confidence they need to face any
stressful situation.
Nothing is more stressful than bullying. And, we know
that bullying has long-term effects on self-esteem; for girls to grow up to be fearless women, our imperative was to help them overcome bullying themselves and to
take a stand to help other girls.
Mean “stinks”, and Secret stands against everything that
stinks. But we do it in a powerful and empowering way -
- one that encourages girls to Gang Up for Good.

Cognition as Material: personality prostheses and other storiesAlan Dix
Keynote at ECCE 2019 - European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics, Belfast, UK, 10-13 September 2019
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/ECCE2019/
The golden rule of design is 'understand your materials'. For human activities and human science those materials include the physical and mental abilities of people and their individual personalities and cognitive styles. Within our own academic or design endeavours those people may be the subject of our studies, but also include ourselves. If we wish to design for people we need to understand them, and if we wish to do this effectively, we need to understand ourselves. In this talk I will analyse examples of processes and tools based on such understanding including some that foster technical creativity, even amongst those who would not consider themselves creative, and some that help in the difficult process of academic writing. Crucially, I will discuss personality prosthesis: taking seriously our differences in personality and seeing how each individual can surround themselves with structures and scaffolding that enables them to achieve their goals given who they are.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
