Those who are concerned about values believe that designers should be critical and take a stand in their choice of work, for instance by not promoting industries and products perceived to be harmful. Examples of projects that might be classified as unacceptable include many forms of advertising and designs for cigarette manufacturers, arms companies and so on. <i>Adbusters</i> has been a significant outlet for these ideas, especially in its commitment to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detournement" title="Detournement">detournement</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_jamming" title="Culture jamming">culture jamming</a>.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources since May 2007" style="white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a></i>]</span></sup></p><p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">>><br /></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><b>We, the undersigned, are graphic designers, art directors and visual communicators who have been raised in a world in which the techniques and apparatus of advertising have persistently been presented to us as the most lucrative, effective and desirable use of our talents. Many design teachers and mentors promote this belief; the market rewards it; a tide of books and publications reinforces it.</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><b>Encouraged in this direction, designers then apply their skill and imagination to sell dog biscuits, designer coffee, diamonds, detergents, hair gel, cigarettes, credit cards, sneakers, butt toners, light beer and heavy-duty recreational vehicles. Commercial work has always paid the bills, but many graphic designers have now let it become, in large measure, <i>what graphic designers do</i>. This, in turn, is how the world perceives design.

Designers who devote their efforts primarily to advertising, marketing and brand development are supporting, and implicitly endorsing, a mental environment so saturated with commercial messages that it is changing the very way citizen-consumers speak, think, feel, respond and interact. To some extent we are all helping draft a reductive and immeasurably harmful code of public discourse.</b></p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><b>There are pursuits more worthy of our problem-solving skills.

Mark Burns, the global compliance & ethics coordinator at UPS points out that UPS is “a global company with many different cultures. Although languages and cultures around the world may be different, we do not change our ethical standards at UPS.” To keep up with the worldwide operations, his ethics program must be ready for international demands. “Our ethics program is global in nature,” he says. “We provide ethics and code of conduct materials in 12 languages, ensuring that our employees understand and adopt ethics policies. Our culture also reinforces written policies. Managers are expected to be role models with their subordinates and their performance and career is judged accordingly.”</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;

For lot of older people they suffer from loneliness from isolation and from vulnerability. So as designer I have created a service that helps this social group to be more connected to be less vulnerable to be less lonely to be less isolated.<br /><br />I started by really analyzing the problem! Since there is a lot of different types of older people in that mix in different situations! I focused down the issue, by going out and really meeting with older people, to have their opinion and there point of view in order to have a clearer vision of the problem!<br /><br />The main challenge was to get the older people involved in my work!<br />In order to understand what is like living an older person’s life, what do they do during the day! what experiences do they have, feelings perceptions references belong to them as a group rather than you, I started interviewing couple of older people.<br />The second important thing is that I had to design with them, rather than for them, which is very tricky to do, and the best way to that is invite them to give you ideas, so for you to see the scene quite clearly, explore their ideas,, and your job to build on them, introduce others, and then I moved out of the brief, so I came out with new potential solutions.<br /><br />I realized that elderly living happily are those who still have daily contact with their family. So I mainly concentrated on bridging the generation gap, which is a very important factor, since the model of extended family living together has now almost vanished in the United Kingdom. In fact increased mobility makes it is less likely that generations of the same family will even live in the same geographical area.<br />The weakening of these ties results in older people and more vulnerable people in particular, falling outside the care and responsibility of their families. And in this service the younger generation will be the main key in creating relationships for the old people. <br />And I am Lebanese, living in an environment which provides another perspective; more or less a greater poverty levels, but still having a strong family and a Religious support and network. So I have created a service “get together” which will bring "Larry" (an older person) and "Steve" (a younger person) together and get them both involved! By using Steve’s energy for Larry’s daily need so it will be an exchange for both individuals.<br /><br />What was really important is that I tested them back with people constantly, in order to get feedback! Not only to the old people themselves but the people around them! Because they have a different perspective!<br /><br />At last, this project made me look at design not as finished pieces, but to the process itself!<br />I have read a quote by Paul Arden “You don’t have to be creative to be creative” which I found really true, and similar to the case here, your research and your findings may lead you to greater solutions.<br /><br /></span>roulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14697606773121357681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-939574636495079402.post-50523842030167574562008-12-08T16:00:00.000-08:002008-12-08T16:47:25.981-08:00Graphic Authorship!<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >Graphic Authorship!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">What does it mean to call for a graphic designer to be an author!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >What is an Author?!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">An Author is defined both as “the person who or originates or gives existence to anything” and that authorship determines responsibility for what is created. The second entry goes on to clarify that, when using the term author, the “anything is created is most usually associated with written work.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" >What is a Graphic Designer?!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">A graphic designer is someone how is always making sense of his material, and mediating it through the forms and codes of visual language!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Self-authored graphic design is a dance between two central partners with varying degrees of differentiation: the designer as self and the content. The designer as self is recognition of the central presence of the designer as a voice and a vision in the process of form-creation and message-formulation. As an individual who balances emotional and expressive qualities with cognitive concerns, the designer’s personal views and convictions are integral ingredients to the definition of self-authored graphic design. Having a point of view from the vantage point of self is crucial.<br /><br /><br />Examples:<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Ken Garland</span></span><br /><a href="http://www.kengarland.co.uk/">http://www.kengarland.co.uk/</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;
