- Narrative benchmarking in scenario assessments for digital designPublication . Silva, José Gago da; Raposo, Daniel; Neves, João Vasco; Almendra, Rita; Brandão, Daniel; Martins, NunoThis article aims to propose a strategy for narrative development, for photo/ image sharing social tools. By generating scenarios for product assessment through comparing consumption narratives as a contribution to the creation of new communication strategies. Developing as hypothesis that the development of narratives from a brand and its consequent comparison with consumers feedback, allows a more reliable way to generate inputs for the development of more effective communication strategies. The article follows an exploratory study methodology intended “to develop pertinent hypotheses and propositions for further inquiry. The article draws on a qualitative proposal of a method to apply in narratives of consumption. The results of the proposed strategy open avenues for narratives developments, where the consumers contribution receive expansion values from the brands strategy, returning value to first consumer feedbacks. The implications of this study are the creation of a paradigm of curatorship as authorship. The research limitations/ implications address the speculative scope of the proposed strategy and the need for more empirical work in the subject.
- The role of visual curation as a contribution to the development of interfaces between academia and businessPublication . Silva, José Gago da; Martins, Nuno; Raposo, Daniel; Brandão, Daniel; Neves, João Vasco; Almendra, RitaBy exploring the concept of image curation, this article presents a proposal for the applicability of image curation in the development of Projects of Design, exploring the role of visual curation as a contribution to the development of interfaces between academia and business. Due to the amount of data present in digital culture, content curation is an increasingly important activity in project development. In higher-education design formation, image curation allows safeguarding the project literacy on the one hand, through the definition and clarification of an organization of visual elements and defining a basis for dialogue on the projective possibilities. The proposed strategy for visual curation offers the possibility of being applied as a basis of dialogue with external stakeholders. Moreover, thus, in a context of learning in design, enabling another bridge between the Academy and the corporate fabric.
- Using diagrams to explain brand concepts and implement visual identitiesPublication . Ribeiro, Rogério; Raposo, Daniel; Almendra, Rita; Neves, J.V.M.; Amic G. HoMost companies subcontract consultants or companies specialised in Design and Branding. In this context, most of the Visual Identity (re)design projects of the brand/corporate end up being developed externally to the companies.The Design and Branding consultant or company usually plays a role in the stages of request, research, concept, strategy, tactics and, tending to disappear during the operationalization or implementation.A brand Visual Identity project implies the participation of several external specialists who intervene in the implementation of tasks and components that must be integrated. In the same sense, it requires the participation and awareness of the company's employees, so that they are active participants in the effective communication of the brand, always ensuring its consistency over time.The operationalization steps of a brand/corporate Visual Identity are crucial for its success, regarding the adequate implementation in terms of graphic quality and coherence, but also in the perspective of brand management, which requires good brand-business integration and the monitoring and correction of actions that impact on people's understanding and experience with the brand.It is recognized the relevance of diagrams in improving the understanding, the accessibility, and the enjoyment of complex information.In this study, we intend to understand how diagrams allow explaining complex concepts in the Brand Design universe, namely business structures, organizations, or methods, with several levels of importance or sequence, with main cores and right or possible declinations or dependencies. The methodology of the study focuses on case studies of explanatory type and literature review.The results consist in identifying the most relevant and useful characteristics of diagrams in the visualisation of information, particularly to explain concepts and assist in the implementation of a brand/corporate Visual Identity.
- Visual thinking through diagramsPublication . Ribeiro, Rogério; Raposo, Daniel; Almendra, Rita; Neves, J.V.M.The purpose of this paper is to identify what kind of schemas or diagrams are most functional as a way of visualizing and transposing ideas.It aims to gather knowledge about how some ideas were interpreted after visualizing visual schemes, especially abstract concepts and the union of dispersed information. Currently, the intangible concepts that define a brand become increasingly complex to express and are almost never fully transmitted to internal and external stakeholders of the entity, creating in the mind of each one, a brand image little related to other aspects, goals and visions that the brand may have.This topic becomes relevant in the transposition of concepts during the development of brands, having visual identity systems or even brands that have their concepts, but need tools capable of communicating them visually.A systematic methodology was adopted, with a non-interventionist basis, with case studies of schemes and diagrams used by major brands and international brands.The results consist in the identification of a set of graphic principles and characteristics that brands should use in order to ensure their clear communication and ideological coherence
