All business is designed, and Design is ultimately about good ideas. Then, how do we get good ideas? Answer: more ideas, fast, and practice.

Branding is evolving, after the 20th century dominated by corporate branding and Lovemarks a new kind of brand has risen: Superhero brands.
Enhanced by a more connected world where individuals have more power to communicate than ever before, the old way to create identities is declining. After studying 250 brands we have the pleasure to share where we are in this new way to create brands shaped for the 21st century
The Epic of Gilgamesh. Exodus. The Odyssey. Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter. For as long as humans have been telling stories, those stories have taken a familiar shape: the quest.
This hasn’t changed as we’ve moved into digital spaces. Hooking users into an ongoing narrative of pursuit built around your mission is one of the most powerful ways to develop your voice, workflow, calendar, content architecture and strategy.

Design research 2019 #DR19 - Using Trello to conduct qualitative research mor...Amir Ansari
Academia might give us the standards for rigour in research, but it certainly doesn’t have an edge in innovating on how we do this kind of work. Trello, invented for project management, actually serves quite nicely as a digital space for qualitative data collection, synthesis and analysis. You will learn when and how to leverage this tool in your next qualitative study.
Presented by Transpire Head of UX Amir Ansari, and Senior UX Consultant Aimee Gonzalez-Cameron, at UX Australia Design Research 2019.

Some is better than none product camp - aug 2019Amir Ansari
I had the pleasure of attending the amazing #pcampmelb 2019 un-conference ran by @Product Anonymous Group. My talk on importance of user / customer research via qualitative methods (e.g. interviews) was selected by attendees. Conducting such research (even if very small, quick and sharp) can go a long way in ensuring you make the right product decisions and de-risk building a product based on internal assumptions and anecdotes.
My talk was to help product people and practitioners fight the good fight and arm themselves with rationale when they encountered resistance.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:
We are living in a world where Steve Jobs was a modern-day hero, Al Gore won an Oscar for his Inconvenient Truth presentation and the TED conference is the place everyone wants to be each year. Thanks to this leadership style, the bar for presentations that convey world changing ideas is set incredibly high. This class is designed to help you clear that high bar with confidence, grace and skill.
Creating meaningful presentations can be tricky, time consuming and nerve wracking, but by focusing on the key elements in this class, you too can give a TED worthy presentation.
This class is designed to cover the following topics:
Audience: understanding your audience
Stickiness: creating unique messaging that sticks
Authenticity: remaining authentic so your audience trusts you
Tools: using the right tools - both offline and online
Deck: 3 steps to building your presentation - preparation, design, delivery
Follow up: sending the right materials as a follow up (and it's not just your noteless deck!)
By the end of the class, you will have everything you need to create a strong presentation that is simple, easy to understand, exciting and visually stimulating.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
