INSTAPORTRAIT i-design + visual brand design master courses september 2012
The I-DESIGN & VB-DESIGN INSTAPORTRAIT INVESTIGATION aims at: - on one side, exploring new ways for developing a personal/ collective VISUAL DEFINITION of what respectively Interaction Design and Visual Brand Design ARE, by COLLECTING, ANALYZING, INTERPRETING, MAPPING a number of different RESOURCES, including (but not limited to) projects, researches, cultural interpretation, people, theories, intuitions etc.; - on the other side, looking for a way to capture and share EXPERIENCES and INSIGHTS, taking into consideration both the DYNAMIC and EVOLUTIVE NATURE of I-Design and VB-Design disciplines, and the potentiality to use a wide range of DIGITAL MEDIA SOLUTIONS that can serve the purpose.
INTRO The term PORTRAIT implies an external point of view that - through a specific visual and/or narrative technique - describes a PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF A SUBJECT, by highlighting some relevant characteristics and qualities, thus depicting/showing its IDENTITY. The prefix INSTA- places its origins in the culture of INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHY, introduced by Polaroid, followed by Kodak and lately Lomography, widely exploited by nowadays Candid Photography trend and mobile apps.
