ABSTRACT: Although user experience (UX) has expanded its horizons to areas, beyond Web context, application of its principles is not yet present in visual identity projects. However, when we speak of visual identity, we speak simultaneously about the user, because what user thinks and the way he/she reacts to a certain identity, defines the relationship that is created and the possibility of wanting to use products or services. Through case studies methods, we examine brand characteristics capable of enhancing this relation. The aim is to demonstrate the importance of a broader understanding (...)

ABSTRACT: Human Beings establish personal relationships with Colour. However, most of our reactions are still unknown. Recently there has been research which identifies the areas of the brain that are activated during the chromatic phenomenon, as well as we can measure the behavior of humans with regard to colour issues. The visible brain consists of multiple functionally specialized areas that receive their input largely from two areas of the brain known as V1 and the area around it known as V2. These are currently the best mapped visual areas, but they are not the only ones. Through these (...)

ABSTRACT: This article expands and develops a theme, which has been explored in the doctoral research in the area of design carried out by the author [1]. Thinking about the design of products for a market was the dominant paradigm of the modern society, remaining relatively stable since the Industrial Revolution until the mid-20th century.  However, the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial context meant to satisfy new needs and consequently changes in design perspective – that shifted the focus from product centered to user centered throughout the 20th century. Today (...)

ABSTRACT: As the designer has to conceive and develop solutions for specific problems which can be of different nature, sketches may present themselves as an operative support for conceptual reflection, problem solving and critical analyses within the several phases of the design process. One of the main questions we would like to find answers is if the nowadays wide use of new technologies doesn’t invalidate the important role played by hand drawing as a stimulating instrument when sketching the first ideas and as a critical verification of the hypotheses. Based on a survey methodology (...)

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to propose a theoretical reflection capable to feed a critical and constructive discussion in the establishment of collaborative plaforms between designers and external realities, such as crafts. Although design as a discipline is still recent, as many tend to relate their origins to the advent of the industrial revolution, it has been drastically evolving in recent years into very diverse fields of action, leading the designer to perform very more than the role of the pure designer. The collaborations between designers and craftsmen have therefore (...)
