ACID! ♡ cobra

synopsis : you’re usually the one who’s cleaning up his wounds but now the roles have reversed.

rocky’s sibling!reader , typical hnl violence , tending to boo-boo’s <3

if you have a blank blog [no bio, no user, no header or profile pic, nothing reblogged, etc] do not interact with my content. you will be blocked.

your brother was a little overprotective. loyal, kind, comforting — and intense. as soon as you learned how to walk, you were taught how to defend yourself in some way ; in any way.

the man in next to you smirks as he looks you up and down, eyes latched onto the white jacket hanging on your shoulders. “you’re with rocky, huh?”

you look away from your phone and to the man. the bus stop is usually empty at this time — the people of sword didn’t venture into the dark. you blink, “excuse me?”

he points to your jacket, “the white rascals. you know them?” he takes a puff of his cigarette before flicking it to the floor and stomping it out. he chuckles, “this isn’t their territory. that doesn’t scare you?”

“why would that scare me?” you prepare yourself, poising with your back stiff and fists clenched. your back is to the map, giving the stranger in front of you your full attention. “it doesn’t matter whose territory i’m in.”

he lets out another cackle — something filled with trouble ; something nasty and mean. “sure about that?”

as cobra walks to the store for naomi, the sound of fighting catches his ears. it’s nothing new in this district — especially after the sun goes down — cobra’s instinct is to ignore it. however, as he goes past the bus stop, he hears a small yelp. a familiar yelp — one that sounds like you.

quickened footsteps hit the concrete, eyes peeled for you or your attacker. instead, cobra sees a man kneeling in front of you as you crush his fingers under your boots. your face is hidden in the shadows of the alleyway — your bus has long passed now — and cobra can’t hear what you say.

you let out a huff, swiping the blood from under your nose. the man is unconscious now — a quick knee to the face is all he needed. someone is standing at the mouth of the alley, stopping you in your tracks.

“[name]? everything okay?”

you squint into the dark, inching forward until the streetlight is brightening the figure. you pause, “oh, cobra.”

he looks you over, eyebrows furrowing at the sight of blood on your face and hands. you see his gaze and go to rub your hands on your pants before remembering you’re wearing white. “what’s going on?”

“just—“ you look back at the slumped over figure before shrugging. “a little disagreement is all.”

cobra nods slowly before grabbing your arm softly. he makes a show of it — moving calmly and casually as he puts his hand out for you. “let’s get away from here, then.”

you’re sitting on a bench outside of a convenience store, waiting for cobra. he insisted you stay until he could take you home ; stay until he could look over your wounds. a rustle of a bag catches your attention, eyes opening to look at the blond ; you didn’t even notice they’d shut.

“this might sting,” he says quietly before a wet cotton ball is patted under your nose. there’s a scratch on your lip that cobra touches tenderly, his knees knocking against yours as he does. “good thing you won your disagreement.”

you grin, hissing when it burns the wound on your lip. “i always win.”

with nowhere else to look, you’re stuck staring at cobra. you’d met him a few times before when he’d stop by to speak to your brother, your eyes wandering and always landing on him. he was pretty — polished in a way the other rugged, messy men you hung around weren’t.

cobra smirks, “starin’, [name]?”

“what else am i supposed to do?” you shoot back. with the tip of his ring finger, cobra scoops the ointment, tapping it onto your lips and then under your nose. “you won’t tell my brother about this, will you?”

“not this time.” he sighs, shoulders slumping at he puts supplies back into the bag. cobra meets your eyes sternly this time. “if it happens again, though…”

“it won’t,” you promise. “i’m usually more careful.”

cobra smirks again as he rubs the blood off of your hands. he looks at you through his eyelashes, “you little delinquent.”

you simply flash him a smile, your tongue sticking through your teeth.

[TASK 163: AFRO LATINE]

In celebration of Latine Heritage Month being September 15th-October 15th, here’s a masterlist below compiled of over 250+ Afro Latine faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever faceclaim or whichever project you desire.

Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags, @ mention us or send us a messaging linking us to your post!

THE TASK - scroll down for FC’s!

STEP 1: Decide on a FC you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick one for you at random!

STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!

STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)

STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.

THINGS YOU CAN MAKE FOR THIS TASK -  examples are linked!

Stumped for ideas? Maybe make a masterlist or graphic of your favourite faceclaims. A masterlist of names. Plot ideas or screencaps from a music video preformed by an artist. Masterlist of quotes and lyrics that can be used for starters, thread titles or tags.

‘Til Dreams Do Us Part

Summary: Dean’s woken up in a hospital before. He doesn’t like it, but it’s part of the job. It happens. And he doesn’t mind it as much when the first thing he sees is his husband’s face. Castiel looks terribly grim, until he notices that Dean is awake. “Heya, sunshine,” Dean grins. His vision is still a little blurry and he flexes his fingers -- they still move. So do his toes. Good news. “Dean!” Sam enters his field of vision, the weary expression on his face morphing into relief. “Thank God, we didn’t know if--” “Hey, I’m fine.” Dean manages to stretch out his hand and pat Cas’ arm. “What happened?” “You don’t remember?” “Remember what?” “The Djinn got you. He kept you for five days, and your dream made him so strong he almost killed us both.”

The Greatest International Love Story the World Has Ever Seen

Summary: Dean wasn’t the type of person who did this kind of thing. He just wasn’t. GISH?? Ugh. The whole thing was just further proof that Dean would do anything his brother wanted him to do. Why else would he be in a Stormtrooper costume, calling up his ex-girlfriend for a private yoga class? Had he been stuck in a rut that long? Given that he’d been pining for the same freakin’ guy, his professor and coworker no less, for three long years… maybe. Cas was definitely the type of person who did this kind of thing, not that many people knew that. He was one of the most well-respected professors at KSU. His students and coworkers didn’t need to know that he was captain of a GISH team, or that he knitted kinky accessories and made art with his online friends. His TA certainly didn’t need to know either. Just professionalism, of course. Nothing at all to do with the failed attempt at a relationship, three years of pining, and frequent inappropriate daydreams. A two-person love triangle with online friendships, costumes, and a lot of glitter.

Dark Blue, Dark Blue

Summary: Written for Dean/Cas Pinefest 2019. In late 2006, Castiel and Dean are in the same guild and raid team in the online game, Moondoor. They only know each other by their character names: Niteryder and Thorsangel, but they hang out and chat whenever they’re not raiding. Dean is baffled though—no matter how much time they spend talking online, Angel never reveals anything about himself. That’s because Castiel is in hiding. At school he hides behind his emo image and stays as invisible as he can, but online he’s got to be extra-vigilant. He can’t reveal anything about himself to Ryder, as much as he might like to—doing so would risk bringing trouble down on himself and his mom. There’s something about Ryder that makes him easy to talk to, though. But outside of the game, ghosts from Castiel’s family’s past are out for revenge, and going back to Lawrence, KS to visit his friend Meg could put him in danger.

I've got a ten dollar copay here. If I go to the hospital I'm looking at a couple hundred minimum.” He spends some time admiring the strong length of the doctor's hands. “Besides I'd much rather have my favorite doctor’s fingers in me than some stranger at the ER.”

Octopods: Shape matters for light-activated nanocatalysts

- By Jade Boyd , Rice University -

Points matter when designing nanoparticles that drive important chemical reactions using the power of light. Researchers at Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) have long known that a nanoparticle’s shape affects how it interacts with light, and their latest study shows how shape affects a particle’s ability to use light to catalyze important chemical reactions.

In a comparative study, LANP graduate students Lin Yuan and Minhan Lou and their colleagues studied aluminum nanoparticles with identical optical properties but different shapes. The most rounded had 14 sides and 24 blunt points. Another was cube-shaped, with six sides and eight 90-degree corners. The third, which the team dubbed “octopod,” also had six sides, but each of its eight corners ended in a pointed tip.

All three varieties have the ability to capture energy from light and release it periodically in the form of super-energetic hot electrons that can speed up catalytic reactions. Yuan, a chemist in the research group of LANP director Naomi Halas, conducted experiments to see how well each of the particles performed as photocatalysts for hydrogen dissociation reaction. The tests showed octopods had a 10 times higher reaction rate than the 14-sided nanocrystals and five times higher than the nanocubes. Octopods also had a lower apparent activation energy, about 45% lower than nanocubes and 49% lower than nanocrystals.

“The experiments demonstrated that sharper corners increased efficiencies,” said Yuan, co-lead author of the study, which is published in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano. “For the octopods, the angle of the corners is about 60 degrees, compared to 90 degrees for the cubes and more rounded points on the nanocrystals. So the smaller the angle, the greater the increase in reaction efficiencies. But how small the angle can be is limited by chemical synthesis. These are single crystals that prefer certain structures. You cannot make infinitely more sharpness.”

Lou, a physicist and study co-lead author in the research group of LANP’s Peter Nordlander, verified the results of the catalytic experiments by developing a theoretical model of the hot electron energy transfer process between the light-activated aluminum nanoparticles and hydrogen molecules.

“We input the wavelength of light and particle shape,” Lou said. “Using these two aspects, we can accurately predict which shape will produce the best catalyst.”

The work is part of an ongoing green chemistry effort by LANP to develop commercially viable light-activated nanocatalysts that can insert energy into chemical reactions with surgical precision. LANP has previously demonstrated catalysts for ethylene and syngas production, the splitting of ammonia to produce hydrogen fuel and for breaking apart “forever chemicals.”

“This study shows that photocatalyst shape is another design element engineers can use to create photocatalysts with the higher reaction rates and lower activation barriers,” said Halas, Rice’s  Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, director of Rice’s Smalley-Curl Institute and a professor of chemistry, bioengineering, physics and astronomy, and materials science and nanoengineering.

Everything You Need to Know About Instagram’s New Paid Partnership Feature

Over the past few weeks, you may have noticed a new paid partnership feature on Instagram.

Wondering what it means?

With the FTC recently taking a ton of new measures to crack down on influencers and businesses that violate its requirements, Instagram launched a new paid partnership feature to eliminate some of the risks associated with creating sponsored posts.

The feature, which first released to a small group of influencers and businesses in June, was expanded to more users in September. Just recently, Instagram made the feature available to all accounts “with high levels of engagement” and access to Instagram Insights data! 

Here’s everything you need to know about how to use Instagram’s new paid partnership feature, and why it may not be enough to satisfy the FTC. 

Why Instagram’s Paid Partnership Feature Matters

Influencer-driven marketing has become of the biggest (and best) ways for brands to reach Instagram audiences.

By partnering with influencers to launch sponsored content campaigns, businesses can tap into a treasure trove of potential customers.

And Instagram users, on their part, are able to learn about products and services from the voices of the accounts they follow.

This time of year always makes me nostalgic 🍂 The weather changes and I crave lazy mornings where I can cuddle up with a book and move at a slow pace. The smell of @maisonmargielafragrances “Lazy Sunday Mornings” is fresh, musky and smells like home ❤️ Available at @sephora #smellslikememories #sponsored

A post shared by Michelle Madsen (@michelletakeaim) on Oct 15, 2017 at 10:11am PDT

And, as a result, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has started taking violations of its Endorsement Guides more seriously.

In fact, just last month, the FTC sent warning letters to 21 Instagram influencers, including Lindsay Lohan and Naomi Campbell.

That’s why Instagram created its paid partnership feature: to bring greater transparency and consistency to sponsored content on Instagram.  

  What Exactly Is Instagram’s New Paid Partnership Feature?

With the above goals in mind, Instagram created a tool that A) helps influencers disclose when a post is sponsored, and B) helps businesses gather insights about how their sponsored content campaigns performed.

For influencers, the paid partnership feature allows them to “clearly” disclose (via an Instagram tag) that they’re publishing sponsored content.

When a post is tagged, people will see “Paid partnership with [business partner]“ in the post’s header–where you would usually see the post’s location.

The feature also works for Instagram Stories, in which case the tag will appear at the top of the story just below the user’s name.

When a business is tagged in a paid partnership post, they’ll now be able to see the reach and engagement (likes and comments) of the post in their Facebook Page Insights.

And for Instagram Stories, tagged businesses will have a 14-day window to see such metrics as reach, taps forward, taps backward, replies, and exits.

Businesses will also have the option to turn a “Partner Approval” setting on, giving them the ability to approve (or disapprove) any sponsored content partnerships before a tagged post is published.

Does Instagram’s Paid Partnership Feature Follow the FTC’s Guides?

Here’s where things get a little tricky.

While Instagram has marketed the feature as a way to bring transparency and consistency to sponsored content, the FTC doesn’t necessarily agree…

In its recently updated Endorsement Guides, the commission discusses the issue of built-in platform disclosure (such as Instagram’s), stating that they don’t always meet the FTC’s requirements.

In particular, the FTC takes issue with the location or placement of the disclosure (above the Instagram post), saying that it may not attract a viewer’s attention.

They also said that simply flagging that a post contains sponsored content might not be sufficient if the post mentions multiple brands and not all of the mentions were paid.

The big-picture point  is that, ultimately, the responsibility for clearly disclosing a material relationship on Instagram rests with the influencer and the business, not the platform.

So does that mean Instagram’s paid partnership feature is totally useless?

Not at all!

While simply tagging a business with the feature may not sufficiently meet the FTC’s requirements — meaning you probably still need to disclose any partnerships in your Instagram caption — the feature still offers a ton of great insights and is definitely a step in the right direction.

For instance, businesses have never before been able to monitor the success of their sponsored Instagram campaigns with such detailed metrics.

As a result of this new data, they can make better decisions when planning their influencer marketing campaigns, in terms of who to partner with and what ROI to expect.

Influencers can also benefit from this kind of data, whether it’s optimizing their sponsored posts or finding new businesses to partner with.

How to Use Instagram’s Paid Partnership Feature

At the moment, Instagram’s paid partnership feature is being rolled out to a select number of celebrities, influencers, public figures, publishes, and businesses.

It’s unclear exactly when or if the feature will be available to the general public, but according to a recent Medium article by Eduardo Morales (who runs @pinlord on Instagram), he received an in-app notification when he was accepted to try out the new feature.

Image by Eduardo Morales

Getting Started With Paid Partnerships as a Business

Once you’ve been granted to the feature as a business, you’ll want to begin by turning the partner approvals setting on.

1. Go to “Options” and scroll down to the new “Branded Content Approvals” section.

2. Next, toggle the “Require Approvals” button to on.

Now, whenever an influencer requests to create sponsored content for your account, tap “Approved Accounts” immediately below the “Require Approval” button.

Here you can approve accounts to create sponsored content for you.

Once an influencer has been accepted, whenever they tag you in a post (using the paid partnership feature), you’ll receive a notification via Facebook and Instagram. If they tag you in a sponsored Instagram story, you’ll also receive the notification by Instagram Direct.

If you want to be removed from the tag, you can do so in one of two ways:

1. The first option is to use the Business Manager on your Facebook page. To remove a tag, you can select either the posts tab or Stories tab, and then click on the downward arrow next to the influencer’s Instagram handle, and click the “Remove Tag” button.

2. A second option is to remove the tag within Instagram. Here, all you have to do is click the ellipsis button on the right-hand side above the post and select the “Remove Me From Post” option. For Instagram Stories, the ellipsis button will be in the bottom right-hand corner.

Accessing Your Paid Partnership Insights as a Business

Once a sponsored content campaign goes live, you’ll be able to find your insights in the “Branded Content” tab in your Facebook Page Insights.

You can also see your Stories insights here, however, you only have a 14-day window to see these metrics.

You can also find your paid partnership insights with Facebook’s Business Manager in the “Branded Content” tab under “Measure and Report.”

Getting Started With Paid Partnerships as an Influencer

Once you’ve been granted to the feature as an influencer, you can immediately begin tagging businesses in your sponsored posts.

1. If it’s a regular Instagram post, start by selecting “Advanced Settings” on the last page of the new post creation flow. If it’s on Instagram Stories, simply tap the “link” button at the top of the screen.

2. In both cases, you’ll now see a new “Branded Content” section. Select the “Tag Business Partner” button.

3. Here you’ll be able to search for the business you want to tag in your post or story. If the business requires approval first, once you’ve selected them, they’ll appear below in a “Require Approvals” section.

4. Once the business approves you, you’ll find them under the “Branded Content” section in “Advanced Settings.” Tapping on their name will add them to your post or story.

Updates to Instagram’s Paid Partnership Feature 

With the expanded rollout of the paid partnership feature in November, Instagram also added a few new capabilities as well.

Specifically, influencers who have access to the branded content toll will now receive in-app notifications when Instagram’s system finds content that falls outside of their policy. In these cases,  the influencer will be notified through the Instagram app and will have the option to tag a business.

Basically, these notifications are intended to make it easier to use the “Paid Partnership with” tag and educate the community on Instagram’s branded content.

Instagram also commented on the future of feature, stating that they hope to offer more flexibility to influencers and businesses that use the tool. “Over time, our goal is to make it simple for all Instagrammers to identify commercial relationships on Instagram.”

While Instagram’s new paid partnership feature may not alone satisfy the FTC’s rules, it’s definitely a great feature for both influencers and businesses! Have you been given access to the feature yet? Let us know in the comments what you think!

“It Is Happening Again...”

NOTICE: Welcome to Part 2 of my Twin Peaks appreciation! Again, I have tried to avoid concrete spoilers, but if you’re new to the series, the less you know going in, the better. For other fans, welcome.

Over Memorial Day weekend of 2017, it happened. Defying massive skepticism, the unavailability of certain key cast members, and twenty-five years of theories and criticism, David Lynch premiered some of his most confounding and formally audacious work to date, less a season of TV than an eighteen-hour film. It's difficult to know where to start when talking about The Return, because its narrative strands cross and loop and converge in baffling ways. The original series had a relatively straight time-structure—even Fire Walk With Me fits fairly neatly into the scheme of things. The Return discards all that, taking us from a starless void navigated by a woman with sewn-shut eyes, to Las Vegas and New York, to the Trinity nuclear test.

At times, it seemed like Lynch was waving a giant middle finger at our collective nostalgia. You want Dale Cooper? Here's 'Mr. C.' (McLachlan), the man who emerged from the Black Lodge a quarter-century ago, a snake-eyed, soft-spoken, pitiless crook. Here's 'Dougie Jones' (McLachlan again), a pleasant-enough sort who is nonetheless cheating on his wife with a sex worker. And here, finally, is anti-Cooper (also McLachlan)—dressed in the familiar black suit, with that swoop of dark hair now shot through with silver, utterly unable to navigate the world around him, repeating whatever is said to him in a dreamlike, stilted monotone.

Then again, there were callbacks to the original series that felt like blessings. Deputy 'Hawk' Hill (Michael Horse), gentle as always, talking late into the night with Margaret Lanterman, a.k.a. the Log Lady (Catherine Coulson). Her face and voice ravaged by illness, she seemed desperate to impart her final oracles to a sympathetic ear. (Coulson was in fact suffering from cancer at the time, and succumbed shortly after her scenes were filmed). There was the radiant Shelley Briggs (née Johnson) at the Roadhouse with her girlfriends, defending the lovelorn James Hurley. And best of all, on the primary case, we got ebullient FBI director Gordon Cole (David Lynch) and the curmudgeonly Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer), cracking wise but full of almost brotherly concern for one another.

Even more pointedly than the original series, The Return grounded its nightmare vision in the quotidian world. A house in a subdivision occupied by a strung-out young woman yelling the same three digits with incantatory force. Another sad-eyed blonde (Amanda Seyfried) in a turbulent relationship with an abusive, sniveling meth-head (Caleb Landry Jones). The handsome, menacing Richard (Eamon Farren), summoning an underage girl to his table at the Roadhouse and then nearly choking her just for kicks. (That scene in particular gave me chills—I've been in situations like that, where it all seems like a joke until it suddenly, clearly isn't.) In the original series, the rot was concealed under a façade of small-town hygge; in The Return, there is no façade left.

The most exciting kind of show, for me, is one where absolutely anything could happen (frequently, these have been 'genre' shows: Hannibal, Vikings, the UK series Misfits). Going into each episode of The Return, while I certainly had predictions, I never felt like I knew how this hour would unfold. This is a world where the camera lingers for two minutes on a man sweeping sawdust, as "Green Onions" plays in the background. A girl home from a first date sits up in her bedroom, listening to "My Prayer" by The Platters, only to have the broadcast interrupted by a dreadful, sonorous voice speaking a mysterious litany that puts everyone who hears it into a deep sleep. Cars drive down two-lane highways in the darkness, with no signposts and no landmarks. The stage at the Roadhouse is occupied by acts ranging from "The" Nine Inch Nails, to boys with pompadours who sing like Hank Williams formed a trio with the Everlys.

You'll notice, if you're still with me (you trooper, you), that I have not yet mentioned Audrey Horne. In some ways, among the show's die-hard fans, Audrey's mythos loomed even larger than Laura's. Audrey, the brunette in saddle shoes and sweater sets, who shared a lineage with sirens like Lauren Bacall and Rosalind Russell—spunky dames who didn't take any guff, but would melt for the right man. Audrey, last seen chained to a bank vault, shortly before a bomb went off. Yes, I loved her, and was desperate for any hint of her fate. Without venturing any further into spoiler territory than I have already, let me just say I still am.

Yes, sometimes, The Return is downright frustrating. I was along for the ride, but there were a few moments when I considered getting out of the car and, at the very least, taking a breather. But, as with most things, my patience would be rewarded. I wouldn't trade the shenanigans of the Mitcham brothers (plus Candie, the vaguely extraterrestrial showgirl), or the thrill of the twofold reveal of Laura Dern's character, or the fiercely maternal protectiveness of Janey-E Jones (Naomi Watts) for anything. Carl Rodd (Harry Dean Stanton) plaintively singing "Red River Valley" in his relocated trailer court… Albert finding a kindred spirit in a sardonic small-town medical examiner (Jane Addams)… The adorable British lad, Freddie Sykes (Jake Wardle), who becomes a kind of Sir Gawain of the Green Gardening Glove… all these things, and many more, kept winning me back.

Of all the filmmakers working today, Lynch has performed some of the most radical tests of the potential of film as a vehicle for storytelling. Visually, yes, with those vibrant reds and blues, the rich earth tones, and the stark black-and-white of Episode 8. Aurally, with Angelo Badalamenti’s otherworldly music. And perhaps most importantly, psychologically—using our common cultural knowledge and our love of film itself to deepen the context of what we’re seeing. (For an irreverent example, see Albert grumbling, “Fuck you, Gene Kelly!” as he makes his way through a freezing downpour.)

And Laura? Well, as the Log Lady so poignantly put it, "Laura is the one." In the end, it all came back to her. In thinking about her character over the course of my acquaintance with the show, I'm reminded of another doomed beauty: Miranda in Picnic at Hanging Rock, who likewise disappears into a realm beyond ours. Like Laura, Miranda seems somehow aware of her fate—indeed, one interpretation that could apply to both girls is that they offered themselves as a sacrifice to the darkness. But that doesn't make their demise any easier to comprehend. Seeing Sheryl Lee let loose her bone-rattling scream for one last time, on the street in front of the house that was, and was not, the Palmer's, hearing the echo of Sarah Palmer call her daughter's name across years and dimensions… I mean, a few minutes later, I was leaning against my kitchen cabinets, sobbing. We were left with so many questions. Can you ever really know a person? How do you save someone who doesn't believe they're worth saving?

Oh, and what *was* Jerry Horne smoking?

Did Nadine really mean what she said this time?

Just how did that danged fish get in the percolator?

Post Assignment 4/10  Naomi Lichter

1) Pentagram.com is the website for the “world’s largest independently owned design studio”. They have a fairly small staff for such a distinction; only 23 design partners. Each of which have incredible bodies of work; creating things for Museum of Sex in New York City, Saks Fifth Avenue, and the 2012 London Olympics. The Work page on the Pentagram website is divided into all the industries they have designed for; from fashion and beauty, to non-for-profits, to publishing and real estate, among many others. What they do for their clients is multifaceted; they have projects in film and motion graphics, interiors and architecture, book designs and brand identity, again, among many other capabilities. Below is a bag made for a luxury furniture brand. The designer used a sans serif font to simplify the typography, and added the store’s furniture as letters to display the products that would be available. 

2) Core77.com is a design blog that uploads stories about design projects, troubles, and successes around the world. They also have a discussion board where designers can ask other designers questions about work, how to charge their clients, and any other topic they may be curious about. They have a page exclusively for articles that fall under the header, “SEX-TACTULAR”. News about innovative designs for tampons, and the CES’ decision to revoke a sex-toy company, Crave’s nomination for an Innovation Award for a vibrator. The article describes the design industry’s bias; that it can appreciate that sex sells, “everything except the sort of products that actually empower people to explore and express their sexual wellbeing," said Crave founder, Ti Chang. 

They also have a focus on sustainable design. An article explores the launch of the ‘Solar Cow’ in several countries in Africa. The Solar Cow is a solar panel that is shaped like a cow that is placed outside of schools in rural areas and has two objectives worked into the design. First, is to incentivize children to come to school, because the Cow has removable “udders” charged with electricity which children can take home. It is by company Yolk, and displayed below.

[dulce-pjm]

check in tag 💌

thank you @stayjimin for the tag!

1. why did you choose your URL?

actually, @kidcoredreamz​ helped me choose it! really it was 100% her idea, i remember her typing it up in the car and me being like YES THAT. thank you btw haha! (dulce means sweet in spanish, btw. and pjm is for jimin lol)

2. any sideblogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them?

none! i’d like to start a fic rec blog soon though but it’ll mostly be for me to organize my favorites so i can easily find them again

3. how long have you’ve been on tumblr?

i’ve been on tumblr since i was like 14 or 15 but didn’t start this blog until like january or february of this year? something like that

4. do you have a queue tag?

i may have tagged something with “q” like once? but no, not really. but a lot of my reblogs are queued (this is probably queued too lol)

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

wellllll basically i discovered tumblr fanfiction. and realized that i could like start writing again for an audience who shared interests with me while also engaging with fandom content. so yeah i want to develop my writing skills and also fangirl so here we are haha

6. why did you choose your icon?

because jin is adorable. can we all just take a moment to look at how cute he is?

7. why did you choose your header?

because it was so cute!! i’d been wanting to revamp my theme and masterlist for a minute (go look if you want to!) and those colors made me think of rainbow sherbet (which i LOVE) so i went with it

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

pretty much certain it’s drunk in love. but i try not to pay too much mind to the numbers because then i will stress and start to equate that with value and it’s just a mess

9. how many mutuals do you have?

uhhhhhh like an embarrassingly small amount lmao. but i love them all and try to be friends with them!

10. how many followers do you have?

i don’t think i’ll share this just because i don’t want anyone to gain a sense of superiority or inferiority from my follow numbers. tbh i think it’s all a bit meaningless. it’s fun, i just don’t want it to be indicative my blog’s success or value. i’ll def celebrate blog milestones though! just won’t specify.

11. how many people do you follow?

50. i mostly follow writers that i like so i can easily find them again, and a few gifmakers who i love

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

a whole lot lmao. i read so many mega oneshots a day and it’s sad

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

uh no. lowkey sounds fun though. i need some drama (KIDDING conflict makes me cry)

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

honestly i’m not entirely sure what this means, i haven’t seen this before. but i do believe that no one owes anyone reblogs, i don’t like when people act like they’re owed that. they’re nice!! but not required. but i don’t think that’s what this is referring to. i’m not super familiar with tumblr as a site, i’ve always just been here to write and hang out.

16. do you like tag games?

yes !! but sometimes i’m forgetful so please don’t take it too personally if i don’t participate!! i apologize

17. do you like ask games?

yes!! oh so much. but i’m always too scared to ask people to do them lol maybe one day…

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

oh gosh you’re all famous to meeee ;) but @alpacaparkaseok can attest that i absolutely wigged out when she reblogged my mlist lmao

19. do i have a crush on a mutual?

yes let’s all get married!! no one is safe from my marriage proposals :))

and doing the other game sounds fun so here are my ults :)) idk if i have a “looks” type lol but i DEF have a personality type lmao but i’m not sure if it’s evident here

Professional Practice - Exhibition - Promotion group & my contribution

The first steps as a group was to get together and write down everything that we were responsible for as the promotion group.

This included:

Flyers/leaflets/posters/banners/billboards/stickers

Social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr

How to raise our budget (cake sale, crowdfunding/gofundme)

Invites

Social media:

At first we dedicated a social media to each of us as we were a small group, I got given Facebook so I made a Facebook Page which people could ‘Like’. I couldn’t put much information on this at first as we were only now starting out and didn’t know things like the date and times of the exhibition yet so it was mainly just a title. After speaking to Sarah Packer (who gave us a social media presentation) she said it’d be better to have an Event page on Facebook instead, so I ended up deleting the other page and made an Event page instead. She said this is better as people get notified when it’s close to the exhibition date, also you can invite people and they can RSVP.

I made the Event page public so then everyone could post on the page and invite people themselves, this is because our exhibition is open to everybody. When I had all the correct information up on the event page I started inviting people to it, I did this by sharing it in our class Photography group chat we have on Facebook Messenger, this way people in the class will know about it and can invite their own parents/friends. I also sent the link to all of our lecturers so they’re aware of it. Somebody else also sent the link to Tima Baird so that she could send it to all staff and students in the uni, students would be the most interested in our show (especially at PCA as we’re an art uni) so this was a good way to get the word out. We also sent an email again to everyone in the uni nearer to the event.

I made the header of the event page part of the flyer with the title, opening night dates and ‘first year photography exhibition’ on so that people knew a small amount of info and would have to look at the ‘about’ for more specific details. I also posted both sides of the flyers which design created to the page and pinned the post to the top to show all the info again. Nearer to the event all of us in the promotion group would share the event to our friends and also post in the discussion bit to remind people of what time the exhibition is on that night.

Invites:

For invites we didn’t write down a list of people we wanted to invite as we wanted the exhibition to be open to the public as well as our family and friends. This was more of a whole group decision instead of just promotion. At first I made the event page private but then made another which was public, this was easier as anyone could invite people to it instead of just me.

Leaflets/posters:

For quite a while we had to wait around as we relied a lot on design before we could get much done as we needed a logo/font/posters/flyers to show on social media as well. Once design had created some posters and flyers we got them printed out through Kieranne as she used to work for somebody who does printing so she could get it done cheaper. These were then distributed around the college and in various shops/cafes which are aimed at students. It was Kieranne and Naomi’s job to do this.

Budget:

The budget was originally meant to be our responsibility but was later put onto the curation group. This was because we decided to donate £10 each towards the exhibition ourselves instead of raising money as it was a bit too late to plan a cake sale. The curation group decided that if people didn’t pay the £10 they wouldn’t be allowed their work to be exhibited. If did have to raise it ourselves it would have been the promotion groups responsibility to do a cake sale or set up a gofundme/crowdfunder if needed.

Other:

As well as creating/maintaining the Facebook event page, I also helped with setting up the exhibition on Friday the 12th. I helped clean the boards, window sills and walls of St. Saviours. I also helped stick adhesive foam to the backs of the pictures and held a few peoples images up in place whilst others measured out the space.

My photographs put up ready for the exhibtion (the two on the left).

How Mature Is Your UX Practise: An Interview with Margaret Hanley

Recently I attended the Melbourne UX Leadership Meetup, that was presented by Margaret Hanley, she was sharing her ideas and insights around UX maturity models. In these models Jennifer Fraser and Scott Plewes identify milestones in which you can gauge how mature your practise is. Like any function or practice, not all businesses have embraced UX design to the same degree or level of maturity.

Knowing how important the growth of a UX capability is for the wider business I wanted to ask her some more questions over a cup of strongly brewed English Breakfast.

(For all of you on the run and not lucky enough to have time to sit down for tea I have released a Podcast of our chat, listen here)

Margaret Hanley has experience delivering and growing UX capabilities for clients like the BBC, Razorfish and WTG, she has taught user experience management at global conferences, has spoken at various summits including IA in Atlanta, on retail IA for Debenhams and UX Australia and has been the Director of Information Architecture for Argus Associates working alongside the likes of Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville.

So Mags why is it important that UX plays a part in leading business direction and decisions?

“UX keeps the bastards honest: it focuses on the customer and their needs; rather than on profit and the whiz-bang of technology. UX has the customer or user in mind every time an organisation has an interaction with them. It’s different from using designers who care about just the brand and visuals, and product who cares about the product selling? And an organisation that cares about the user will make more money; if it is combined with the right product.”

How do we know when UX is guiding a business?

“Measurement...A lot of what we do as UXers, is based around qualitative research, so we must learn to quantify our impact. Be it being a customer satisfaction score like NPS, reduced numbers of emails to customer service, increased use of the site or selling more product.”

We know that to get UX practice as part of the business we need to have our executive and leadership teams selling and believing in the value of UX, how can we build their trust and get UX into the boardroom?

“Trust can only be built by understanding how people work. Use UX techniques to understand how the Exec Team work -  interviews with key stakeholders, talking to the people they work with, how the company is measured, what is deemed success or failure.

You can go in guns blazing, but you need to prove value. The days of ‘it's just good to do this’ are gone.”

You mentioned Leah Buley during your talk; why is some of her research so beneficial?

“Leah has game. - she has worked with organisations at the cutting edge of UX at Adaptive Path; written a book about being a lone UXer in an organisation and has worked as an analyst at Forrester.

So her research at Forrester and now independently is important because it allows us to understand the conditions where a UX/CX practice will flourish and make an impact.

This is important - because UX can be commoditised. It can be that a set of methods arejust applied - ticking boxes (we’ve done usability), rather than actually impacting the users and the organisation.

It makes a case for where a UX function should live and how many people should be in the team.”

There are 5 stages in the Jennifer Fraser and Scott Plews 2015 indicators of user experience maturity model. Do you think it is possible for Melbourne to start working at a Stage 5 level and what do we have to do to achieve this?

“As I said in my talk, I’m not sure there are any Stage 5 organisations in Australia or maybe the world. I could be wrong. I do know that the team at Seek led by Cam Rogers and Kirsten Mann at Aconex are pretty close.

Most Melbourne UX teams are lucky to be Stage 3 - applying the processes and getting some wins.

To start working at Stage 4 (the one I consider most attainable), you need strong, experienced leadership. This is where we fall down. There aren’t many people who have the experience of doing this for more than 10 years; and then working across agencies, in-house and consultancy.

We need to consciously develop this talent, which is where the UX Leadership Group is invaluable; a place to learn, meet others at the same level, share stories and gather experience. We all need a safe place to say, ‘I don’t know.’”

Mags you gave me a UX Maturity Scorecard at the end of your presentation, I immediately wanted to take it to some of my clients. How can businesses start making changes to help them to build more mature practices?

“Benchmark themselves first; you can only move forward if you know where you are now. Then work out where in the model you realistically want to be in 12 months. This gives you an idea of how you need to develop the practice and impact the business. You may just want to shore up the UX practice because people have left - so you are a strong 3.

It could be hiring a UX leader to take the practice from 2 to 3; or building up the core team with team leaders to allow the most senior UX Leader to focus on culture and working in the organisation to take it to Stage 4.

You may not be able to do this on your own - consider finding a trusted, confidential coach or mentor who can be your sounding board.”

For all those solo UXers out there struggling to see how they will ever get their business to adopt design thinking, what three pieces of advice would you give them?

“Short term impact - how can you prove worth with a small project? Understand how the business makes decisions (analytics, product sales, reducing costs, revenue) and learn from the people who are doing this well in the organisation. Be ready to compromise - sometimes we get so evangelical that we annoy people; be able to see others’ perspective; and work in a team”
