Infographic: Mining Pinterest To Discover Our Color Preferences, By Room

Infographic: Mining Pinterest To Discover Our Color Preferences, By Room | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From www.fastcodesign.com - January 23, 2013 5:33 AM

Colour and Space is a project by designers Mie Frey Damgaard and Peter Ørntoft for decorative paint brand Jotun. It digs through Turkish Pinterest boards, analyzing two fairly basic but powerful categories: color and location. The results are placed into simple pie charts, showing preferred colors in places around the home like kids’ rooms (the faintest pink), living rooms (maize), and kitchens (white).


Colour and Space leverages big data to boil all that design into the simplest of actionable metrics--what color should my living room be? Because what you’re responding to in some random interior design photo may be the unique furnishings, but it’s just as often the color--that striking palette that’s all of a trip to Lowe’s away from reality.

The overused, chubby font doesn’t scream ‘professional’ and conveys all the wrong messages about your brand. Your brand is the most important investment you’ll make, so you need to ensure you’re using the right fonts.

PublishThis is an "enterprise-level" news curation platform which provides extensive features to gather, collect and filter content from the web and from social channels, while providing a full array of tools to curate, edit, repurpose and publish the newly curated content to web sites, blogs, newsletters and social media.


"After the discovery stage PublishThis customers can take the filtered material and begin using the curation tools to quickly create customized content which can then be fed to company websites, email newsletters, apps and social media feeds.


The tools include a new WordPress plugin as well as a white labeled hosting model allowing companies to add their own widgets and other content modules into their pages. 


The platform also has an analytics component which provides click data and performance insights based on the content a company owns, as well as third party materials.


PublishThis generates revenue by licensing its software to companies on an annual basis through a three-tiered model. Kumin would not go into specifics but prices range from the low five-figures into the six-figure range and depend on the amount of sites, brands and content a company needs to manage."

matthew kapp's curator insight, January 24, 2013 10:12 PM

Intelligent content curation platforms operating off interest and social graphs will do much of the leg work autonomously discovering, curating and feeding aggregated content into specialized interest publication channels leaving the last mile for optimizing to the curator to add value and leverage the content. 

 

Online commerce engines can take advantage of the same process and data mining platforms by aggregating relevant user generated content with their own content that may include trusted testimonials from people in your relevant trusted network that talk about the product or service and their experience. This increases authenticity and trust for the Commerce engine’s offering. A bit like where Amazon is going with its relevance engine or M.S. Bing with it's experts that pop up beside search results based on relevant expertise and reputation to the topic you’re searching. 

 

Advances in mass data processing technology, data science, social media and cloud processing / storage make big data an important paradigm shift that will be transformative to the business landscape and one to be strategically evaluated.

In Harmony with the Environment: Wind-dyed House, Japan

In Harmony with the Environment: Wind-dyed House, Japan | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From www.architizer.com - January 22, 2013 12:48 PM

Wind-dyed House by acaa in Yokosuka Kanagawa, Japan


From the architect:

A residential building located halfway up a cliff, overlooking the ocean. Thick clumps of trees that grow along the slope of the land surrounding the house cast a series of organic silhouettes that make the slope seem to come alive. We decided that the appropriate form to build would be as low-lying as possible, while also allowing the architecture to become embedded in the surrounding landscape according to the contours of the terrain. This would allow us to minimize the impact of the building on its environment.

 

The design of the walls plays an important role in creating the overall sense of presence that a building projects. As such, we also tried to prevent the walls of this house from becoming surfaces that would obstruct or impede movement and sight. Glass and screens along the enclosed perimeter of the house gives the second floor of this residence a certain transparency. Slender, deep-set eaves cast deep shadows on the facade of the building, softening the impact of the building's physical presence in relation to its environment.

Replace Innovation with Design Thinking

From steinvox.com - January 12, 2013 4:33 PM

"I am a huge believer in “innovation,” but the term has become over-used, and its meaning is often lost. And innovation is regularly confused with “invention,” alone. Innovation seems to have lost its alignment with supporting anchors such as values, pervasiveness, creativity, teamwork, customer-centricity, user-experience, collaboration, inquisitiveness and curiosity."

 

Design thinking can apply to every goal set by management and individuals, so it is truly pervasive.


Design thinking is an innovation approach that aggregates ideas in an iterative process that promotes unique and unusual ideas, and rewards failure, such that the resulting design has limited technological, or leadership bias in its outcome. The emphasis on collaboration also drives broad ownership for the success of solutions.


Design thinking, by its nature and foundation can help produce solutions to much larger and difficult problems, often referred to as “wicked problems”. The enemy of design thinking is fear and unwillingnessto let go.
