Challenge 8: Reconciliatory Return - Celebrity Couple with Boblerette "Huge promises and romance! Dolphina and Stretch did what?"

Dolphina Nosey and Stretch Calamarino sure have been working on a lot of the same movies together, haven't they? Well, this intrepid reporter has definitive proof that the director known for his macabre and dark comedy movies and the actress that sports a majority of the leading roles in his movies are involved in an intimate romantic relationship! It's been reported that the two first started showing signs of dating when, after a long day of filming, Stretch picked up a nearby splattershot and started shooting Dolphina, who played along, resulting in a full turf war match being had by just the two of them! Although no concrete photographic proof exists of this encounter, it is very obvious that they are dating. One can see them spending almost all of their time together, even off set!

This of course raises many important questions about Calamarino's casting decisions. When asked directly about his biases towards casting Nosey in his movies, the director refused to comment, though later on his social media pages he wrote "I cast all my movies equally, and make everyone audition for any roles just like any other actor." Whether or not his love life has bearing on his career, it's clear from any perspective that the love between these two makes them a powerful film making duo! Next Top Cephalopod

Challenge 8

Landscape architecture has a bunch of desirable products within but they often can be overlooked due to the scale of the project. This field is where i started my design thinking and i was curious about the way that landscape design can often go overlooked. The intent is to design in a way that relates to the environment while improving the user experience but often people like this without even noticing that “it” is there.

I see a translation of this to the product world but on a much smaller scale. Often people will like one bottle over another based on the shape without even noticing. One major difference is the amount of variety that is present in these markets. There is a large amount of desire for the product itself which shifts the scales.

When i looked at my what i got’s i saw evidence of this. Some of them were based on utility and others on desire. The products that i have highlighted all have some things in common. They seem like everyday things but there is a lot of time in effort spend in designing the details of these products to increase the ease of use. The ability to change the backpack around to fit my gear or pick how much memory I need on my memory card. The Bose headphones are made to be used while working out and has small tweaks to improve the workout.

Challenge 8

As we develop more complex relationships with the apps we use, and as these apps become increasingly personalized and hope to stay in our lives for longer, I find the role of pleasure in product usage increasingly interesting. Moreover, as more and more apps and sites incorporate in-app purchasing opportunities and rely on these as sources of revenue, I’m particularly fascinated by the relationship between product appearance and purchase decisions.

I also find the idea of non-physical interaction with products fairly intriguing, given that products are often means to an end, such as the abdominal work-out device leading to the perfect body, which means using them is not the purpose in themselves. This means it’s even more critical that the interactions are seamless and products don’t affect the end experience in a negative way. Some of that may have more to do with backend development, which we’ve touched on less, but the work we’ve done focusing on mobile and web development definitely ties into creating desirable experiences that increase motivation – whatever the end goal – and increase ability. It’s also critical that the in-app triggers connect closely to whatever the goals are that a user may have in creating the product.

In what I personally find desirable, I’m particularly drawn to the “unity of sensuous delight, meaningful interpretation, and emotional involvement” that lead to the creation of experiences. Often these are first created by the aesthetic design then the emotional experience – unpleasant aesthetics can lead to my rejecting a product before even giving it a chance and allowing it to affect my emotions. I will say, however, that with critical physical products this is less likely to be the case.

Questions for teaching staff:

1) I would love to continue skill-building in a more structured manner, is there a way we could have more tutorials or sessions like we had that one Wednesday in class? Or barring that are there any tutorials or sites that you’ve found particularly useful? Thanks!

Design POV: Observations on Faux Docu-Cinema in the Creative Ad Space

In the late 1950s, cinema heavyweight Alfred Hitchcock remarked, “In feature [fiction] films, the director is God; in documentary films, God is the director.” This sentiment may have proven true in a simpler time – one unburdened by "post-truths" and fake news. Indeed, in an era of the adjustable truth, the former role of documentary filmmaking (as naturalistic observations of the “human condition”) has seemingly mutated into a moral/ethical battlefield of factual ambiguity. As insatiable global audiences, fetishizing the “incontrovertible" truth via sensational documentaries, continue to mushroom, documentarians and all content-creators are faced with revealing or even creating exciting “truths.” If deemed too “dry” by the same audiences captivated by frenetic Vice videos or flashy, covertly- branded “reality-based” short films (ie: “First Kiss” where twenty strangers kiss each-other for their first time), many purely “factual” documentaries are swallowed up and spit out into the abyss of cyber-space. As piquing the interests of large audiences is growing more competitive and common, a great number of documentarians are beginning to play “God” (in Hichcockian terms) by distorting and slanting the “truth.” This is true and can be found in none other than the US ad space.

Being a documentary filmmaker with deep-rooted interests in narrative films and comic books, there comes a certain fascination with product experiences that challenge industry-standards by embracing stranger alternatives. This is particularly relevant to big brands (a la Clearasil, the NYT, Calvin Klein, Drake and OVO Records, even Quilted Northern Toilet Paper), as they attempt to skew their advertising to a more youthful, internet-literate demo. Throughout this past semester, I, more often than not, unwittingly wrote about many of the marketing methods employed by big creative ad agencies like Droga5 or Havas. Yet, it was only until reviewing both BJ Fogg’s “A Behavioral Model for Persuasive Design” and Pieter Desmet and Paul Hekkert’s “Framework of Product Experience” that I realized that something perhaps more gray lurked beneath many of my posts: big brands using the documentary medium for its ephemeral “aesthetic, emotional and meaningful” qualities rather than as a vessel for truth. 

In an era guided by post-truth, I have very closely felt the hypocrisy that non-fiction filmmaking allows for an unvarnished look at others’ lives. Though it is no secret that some documentaries are partly staged, the fact that truth can be essentially true is fascinating to me. Documentaries for Nike products, often times, contain less truth than narrative movies because there are a number of heavily gray layers that exist between fact and fiction. Indeed, one could largely argue that the cinematic docu-qualities of a commercial spot like SKII’s Marriage Market spot largely fulfill what both Fogg, Desmet and Hekkert categorize as desirable” design: its visuals not only are pleasing to the eye (the spot is lensed with cinematic precision), but its tear-jerking music, and well-directed interviews tease out an emotional narrative that is moving and rousing. Yet, this particular SKII ad’s tactics are equally as manipulative. In what should play as reality, the advertisement seemingly plays as scripted fiction, thanks to the story’s contradictory relationship to its product (SKII can be looked at as a cosmetic item).

Thus, in reviewing my previous posts, I am attracted to design that utilities conspicuous minimalism (i.e. the Yashica T4i’s build to Harris Savides’ understated cinematography) to the emotional experiences of self-reflexive narratives (a la Clearasil’s advertisements in which they admit they do indeed have no awareness of what kids find “cool”) to disruptive tech as personal experiences (Drake’s expansion of the OVO brand with his recent “playlist” More Life).

Yet, do interweb denizens share similar thoughts? Do people really care about truth anymore, anyway? Does irony - when endorsed by a corporation attempting to sell a consumer a product (a la Marvel’s pastiche of Joss Whedon’s humor in their more recent, Whedon-less entries in the MCU) - sell? If Ryan Staake’s “Wyclef Jean” video for artist Young Thug is any indication, perhaps it does.

Challenge 8

Landscape architecture has a bunch of desirable products within but they often can be overlooked due to the scale of the project. This field is where i started my design thinking and i was curious about the way that landscape design can often go overlooked. The intent is to design in a way that relates to the environment while improving the user experience but often people like this without even noticing that "it" is there.

I see a translation of this to the product world but on a much smaller scale. Often people will like one bottle over another based on the shape without even noticing. One major difference is the amount of variety that is present in these markets. There is a large amount of desire for the product itself which shifts the scales.

When i looked at my what i got's i saw evidence of this. Some of them were based on utility and others on desire.
