Make Things People Want - Skillswap, Brighton Digital Festival, 2012John V Willshire
A new version of the 'Make Things People Want' presentation I gave at Clearleft's Skillswap as part of the Brighton Digital Festival 2012. With improved structure around the four key ideas. And a bigger, juicier rant about Star Wars.
This document discusses how briefs and communication ideas need to change for the post-digital age. It argues that briefs should focus less on interrupting people with messages and more on facilitating participation and creating useful experiences. Briefs also need to see ideas as ongoing conversations rather than finished products and design for participation, gaps for people to get involved, and constant connection. The key is understanding culture and finding problems people actually face rather than just selling products. Modern communication ideas should be generous, contribute to culture, and get people to do, feel or think something through the power of the idea.
Contributing to Drupal is described as awesome for many reasons in the document, including: being part of an incredible open source community; learning through the iterative process; bringing happiness to others without decreasing your own; ensuring resources you create will be available for future use; and the many ways one can contribute at any age or skill level. Local meetups and the enduring nature of Drupal are also highlighted. Reasons given are often somewhat nonsensical or focus on having fun through activities like wearing costumes, eating cake, and drinking beer.
The beauty and wellness sector saw significant investment and growth in South Africa and the Western Cape between 2010-2013. Major companies like L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever invested over ZAR2.2 billion in South Africa in 2013, compared to only ZAR0.3 billion from 2003-2012. The Western Cape's exports of beauty and wellness products grew substantially over this period, with its top export markets being other African countries as well as more developed countries like the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia.
This document provides an overview of a social entrepreneurship masterclass on digital marketing and identity. The aims of the class are to understand modern digital communication and its effects, understand the idea of a digital identity, see how people are changing, and decide where one stands in relation to digital changes. Key points covered include the rise of smartphone use, how smartphones have become hubs for people's lives, concepts of owned, bought and earned media, and some perceived side effects of social media like decreased concentration and ability to remember information. The document also discusses narrative collapse in the digital age and fragmented communication online.

The document discusses how the web and technologies like 3D printing are changing business and organization. It argues that the future will be more self-organized, with people coming together in groups to solve problems and create solutions. The role of organizations will be to act as platforms that bring people together and help discover collective solutions, rather than being the direct makers of products. It suggests organizations transition to platform thinking by becoming more open and focusing on understanding shared purposes to support and empower groups of people seeking to create positive change.
This document summarizes a workshop on digital marketing and social media strategy. It discusses how smartphones have become the preferred way for new customers to discover brands and how they are used to organize people's lives. It also covers understanding digital identity, communicating on social platforms, and creating an effective social media strategy to position yourself as your own digital agency. The document provides statistics on smartphone penetration and mobile usage. It discusses different types of social media content like owned, bought, and earned media. It addresses some side effects of social media use and challenges of communicating in online fragments.

The document provides an overview of a masterclass on using Twitter effectively. It discusses understanding the language of Twitter, engaging in conversations on the platform, and using it to build social capital. It notes that as of the last 24 months, smartphone penetration in the UK is at 78% and mobile/tablet is the preferred way for new customers to discover brands. It also discusses some side effects of social media like decreased ability to concentrate and remember information as people rely on crowdsourcing answers.
Digital Marketing trends from SXSW Interactive 2013. BBDO New York focused in on 5 themes most relevant to Brands and Agencies by launching www.DigitalLabLive.com.
The document discusses how web conferencing solutions like Zoom saw explosive growth with the rise of remote work and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that while these tools allow communication without physical presence, online meetings and classes can lack interactivity and body language. To keep audiences engaged, the document recommends using a visualizer device to display materials spontaneously and reset attention spans, as visual content is better retained than text-heavy slides. Integrating the visualizer's live camera feed into conferencing platforms like Zoom allows for flexibility and interaction lacking in static presentations.
The document discusses how modern application design focuses on simplification and reducing complexity to avoid overwhelming users. However, this limits the potential for deep mastery and cultural explosions where advanced users push software in new directions. The author argues application designers should look to game design, which includes mechanics for pulling users towards mastery, in order to build tools that unleash human potential for complex problem solving and advancement. An example project called Ribbon Hero is described that aims to teach Office features through gameplay.
The document discusses SharePoint and its uses in organizations. It notes that SharePoint allows organizations to reduce costs while gaining rapid software delivery capabilities. It can be used for storing documents, collaborating on projects, publishing department information, and managing common processes. SharePoint comes in two versions - one hosted on a company's servers and one hosted through Microsoft Office 365. From a user perspective, there is little difference between the versions. Features in Delve and Yammer provide more flexibility for dashboards, management, and statistics. Users can also leverage collaboration in Skype for Business and federation with external users through integration.
This document summarizes Eilidh Dickson's experience in the 150-day CIID pilot program from September 2008 to February 2009. It includes reflections on courses in computational media design, physical computing, design theory, user research, and other topics. Key lessons included challenging herself technically, appreciating different approaches to design problems, and the value of prototyping and user testing. She also expressed interest in personal informatics, elderly users, work-life balance, education, and maintaining CIID's ethos in her thesis work.
Is your nonprofit looking to incorporate more design thinking in its projects? Are you confused about what a design thinking approach entails? This recording will help you learn the ins and outs of design thinking.
Ruud Janssen discusses how associations can use online tools like Google Apps, Central Desktop, Dropbox, and Google Calendar to connect members, share knowledge, and collaborate virtually. He provides examples of how MPI Netherlands uses these tools to improve chapter operations with fewer resources. Janssen advocates that associations should connect members and open knowledge bases to foster online relationships, conversations, and learning communities among the "G-Generation".
Anant National University - Interaction design - lesson 1Ekta Rohra Jafri
This document provides an overview of an interaction design course. It includes:
- An introduction to the history and importance of interaction design.
- A breakdown of the course contents which will cover topics like designing for desktop, mobile, voice, augmented reality, and more.
- A primer on interaction design that defines it as relating to the structure and behavior of interactive systems and striving to create meaningful relationships between people and technology.
- A discussion of interaction design being based on goals, user expectations, usability, affordances, feedback loops, and how design is a responsibility to consider ethics, sustainability, safety and acceptability.
Here's Alan Smith's pitch for The Movement 09 operating procedures. Focused on decentralized Awareness, Freemium Funding, utilizing existing infrastructures where possible, and decentralizing everything within a "Champion" based organizational membership model, this one got people talking. Delivered to Toronto on January 15th, from London UK.
The document discusses how the web is changing business and organization. It argues that the future will be self-organized as the web allows people to easily connect and take action. The role of organizations will change from directly making and distributing products, to becoming open platforms that support and empower groups working towards shared goals. The key is for organizations to understand why people form groups and how to add value by bringing people together instead of just marketing to them. This represents a fundamental shift from treating people as customers to partners.

Boris Chan - FITC SCREENS - Becoming Social By Default on MobileBoris Chan
The document discusses becoming social by default on mobile applications. It covers several key points:
1) Designing mobile applications should be mobile-first, starting from scratch rather than porting web experiences. Every design decision matters on mobile due to limited screens.
2) Latency kills mobile experiences so applications must be fast and responsive. Caching and offline functionality are also important.
3) Social features can help with discovery, distribution, personalization and providing context if integrated thoughtfully into the core mobile experience rather than as an add-on.
4) Examples like Rdio, Instagram and Uber illustrate how mobile-first, social-by-design applications are disrupting incumbents by focusing

Based on a very true story -
Around the turn of the millenium, I befriended an 80-year old ex-serviceman who came from the one of the great war days and a very smart computer programmer from a national space agency. The ex-serviceman always had ideas that sounded very strange which he was not able to explain the reasons for. However, upon further detailed investigation, we always found that his ideas were based on some fundamental truths and facts. Over the years we learnt to trust his hunches.
One day, he found out that I was flying drones and he told me to fly drones all over the world to spread mushroom spores because, according to him, the world needs more rain. As usual, he was not able to explain why. I did further research and as usual found out that he good reasons.
However, flying drones all over the world was almost an impossibility for me. So instead of flying them, we came up with the idea of impressing people on the need to plant more mushroom and hope that in each region, someone will undertake the endeavour.
This movie was the result of his idea. We wanted people to step into movie theatres thinking that mushroom is food. And for them to think that the Earth is a living, “thinking” being having her own “consciousness” with mushrooms being a vital mechanism in that planetary brain. The movie was supposed to be developed with CGI into a 3D 360-degree VR view to immerse the audience into the experiencing a planet-sized brain inside the Earth.
The movie idea was aborted when my good friend suddenly passed on.

This is my digital world.
My digital lifestyle:
I am not bound by physical limitations. I do not
have to dress up to work. I do not have to travel
against the traffic to deliver. I do not have to be
present to produce. I can distill my experiences
and my best practices into patterns recognized
Codegen Windows Mobile and reproducible by my computer at the speed
of light. Online, so I am.
My digital motto:
Let the electrons do the work.

7. ‘Time intensified’ means to me…….
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour)
Making the best use of available time

11. Digital media and technology in the future
Please complete the following sentence, be descriptive and clear in what it means to you and allows you
to do…
In 10 years digital media and technology will allow me to market my unique combination of skill-
sets to a wider audience at lower set-up and operating costs. I will also be able to engage and
collaborate with partners from all over the world with their own unique capabilities to provide
packaged best-of-breed solutions to those needing them.
Shared server facilities and specialized support service providers will allow professionals like me
to set-up online offices with minimum hassle and a wide range of marketing channels,
communication modes, collaboration setups, project management services, collection and
clearance methods and networking communities far beyond the rudimentary services available in
2008.
Likewise, my customers will benefit from being able to subscribe to instantaneous solution
packages to manage their businesses, their finances and their family lives.
Individual consumers, families, organizations, companies, professionals, politicians, artistes,
writers who are my potential customers will be able to run their lives, their businesses, their
projects, their campaigns, their road-shows from subway stations, cafes, beaches; and to connect
with service providers like me anytime, anywhere.
Not having to allocate time on unproductive activities like being stuck in traffic jams, waiting for
appointments, standing in queues frees up a substantial amount of my time improving my service
offerings, attending to priority areas of my life and enjoying it all.
Consuming less fossil fuel and felling less trees for paper brings hope of survival to Mother Earth.
