Dear reader, Creativity is moving up in the world. Once it was nice to have, now it’s a need to have. Creativity is a 21st-century survival skill that professional and personal success depends on. There’s an old Chinese proverb: “When the winds of change blow, some build walls, others build windmills.” The Secret of the Highly Creative Thinker points out that in periods of change, our natural instinct is to dig in and build walls that shield us. Creativity is what helps us build windmills. It’s the type of thinking that helps us adventure into unfamiliar territory, see opportunities, generate options, and come up with new solutions in our private lives, our politics, our schools and our work. In business, creativity fuels innovation. There is no innovation without creativity. We got you covered on all accounts: for your private life, we offer Frame Your Imagination and Museum Art Cards, for your political life we have Branded Protest, for academics Good Services, and for your work Know Your Onions Corporate Identity. At BIS Publishers we find it important to train and develop children’s ability to think creatively, therefore, we present My Photography Game. Our priority at BIS Publishers is to cultivate creativity in all facets of your life. We hope our list will surprise, amaze, and inspire you. Don’t forget to stay connected via our social network – like, share and spread the word! As always, if you have a good idea for a new project, don’t hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you. The BIS Publishers team, Bionda Dias Bionda@bispublishers.com

Branded Protest Branding as a Tool to Give Protest an Iconic Face

Branded Protest takes a closer look at the unique relationship between “branding” and “protest.” It researches the power of branding, and its influence on current protest movements, giving examples of unique branding efforts that support protest. In a time of hypermediation, we find that visual stimulation generally holds the key to success of a message. To streamline the process, branding is becoming an essential part of the communication channel. The success of protest actions is increased by good branding. This book is a reference tool which will reflect on current protest developments in the context of historic relevant protest movements, in order to show their differences and common goals. The focus is on the different branding tools of each individual protest divided into main branding tool directions. For students, educational professionals, brand and graphic design professionals, and a design-interested audience.

“We cross our arms to express our dissatisfaction with the government”

Cross Your Arms A perfect example of body-gesture protest originated in Hong Kong in 2014. The crossed arms gesture evolved into one of the key branding tools of the famous Yellow Umbrella protest movement.

painted white, referring to the activists who were tear-gassed and pepper-sprayed by the police, and he brandishes the iconic yellow umbrella. Adopted by the movement as a symbol of freedom and peace, Umbrella Man became a mirror in which the protesters could see their own reflections.

The media was quick to associate this piece with the Goddess of Democracy, the 11-metre-high, papier-mâché, torch-bearing female figure constructed during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. Milk was apparently unaware of this statue, probably as he was too young to remember it (he was born in 1992). This is a classic form of branding – giving an idea a 3D form, in this case as a giant sculpture.

Anonymous protester, Hong Kong

GESTURE AND SYMBOL

Pro-democracy campaigners widely adopted the crossed-arms posture during the Umbrella Movement protests. Also known as Occupy Central, the protests took place in 2014 in demand for freer elections in Hong Kong. Over 79 days, a civil disobedience campaign brought parts of the busy city to a standstill. Crossing the arms symbolized resistance to the political status quo, while simultaneously insisting on the peaceful nature of the protest. With this posture, demonstrators emphasized that they were carrying no weapons. The gesture transmitted the message that they were neither using nor advocating violence to achieve their aims.

The Umbrella Movement On 28 September 2014, Hong Kong police used pepper spray and tear gas against protesters. In an attempt to protect themselves from the chemicals, the protesters sheltered under their umbrellas. The ultimate symbol of Hong Kong protest, the yellow umbrella, was born. Since then, the yellow umbrella has become the global icon of pro-democracy in China, a potent semiotic symbol of political protest.

Statement Symbol In the Umbrella Movement, the umbrella becomes a “statement symbol”. It designates a protected space for dialogue, an invitation to stop and engage with the political situation in a moment of uncertainty. The umbrella is at the heart of a performance by and for the artist community, as distinguished from propaganda for the people. In the I-Ching performance series, the umbrella was a space for intimate exchange, a forced yet spiritual engagement with the individual, a dedicated time for understanding the other, and being open to new translations and mistranslations.

A Mirror for Protesters The umbrella encompasses all of these associations and goes far beyond them. During the 2014 protest, sculptural umbrella interventions interrupted the streets of Hong Kong. They included Umbrella Man – a 4-metre-high human figure constructed from wooden blocks – by an artist known only as Milk. Umbrella Man tells the people’s story of the protest. His face is

Don’t Buy This Book Entrepreneurship for Creative People

Don’t Buy This Book is the sequel to the highly successful Don’t Read This Book – Time Management for Creative People. Like its predecessor, it uses the ToDon’tList method to help you make the right choices – choices that help you achieve your goals as a creative entrepreneur. Don’t Buy This Book walks you through the necessary steps: testing your idea, getting it ready for business, and building on it. It covers everything you need to get started or improve your business as a creative and it offers practical exercises to clarify who you want to be as an entrepreneur.

Why Creative People Become Entrepreneurs

Don’t solve a problem by creating another one

De why achter de meeste ideeën voor een product of service ontstaat vanuit een ‘probleem’. Dat probleem willen we dan oplossen. Maar vraag je af of dit probleem er ook echt wel is. Of dermate groot is dat mensen er een oplossing voor willen. Op kickstarter zijn talloze oplossingen voor problemen te vinden, waarvan je je kan afvragen welk probleem het oplost. Vaak zijn het variaties/verbeteringen op zaken die er al lang zijn.

Wanneer we een probleem willen oplossen is onze eerste reactie om iets toe te voegen. Als we ons snijden plakken we er een pleister op. Als het eten niet smaakt gooien we er extra zout op. Maar vaak verzinnen we add-ons die niet noodzakelijk zijn. En even over de vraag of je kopers toch overtuigd krijgt van de noodzakelijkheid, je bent dan dus producten aan het produceren die dus eigenlijk helemaal niet nodig zijn en daarmee dus eigenlijk helemaal niets bijdragen aan de wereld. Behalve dat we nu extra spullen hebben. Zeker als je doel is om de wereld beter achter te laten is dit een belangrijke vraag. Je kan elektrische auto’s gaan maken — en dat is natuurlijk altijd beter dan auto’s die op benzine lopen — maar je bent nog steeds auto’s aan het maken. En dat je in een elektrische auto zit, betekent niet dat de stroom die erin gaat is opgewekt met windmolens. Als die stroom is opgewekt met steenkolen zijn we uiteindelijk nog niet zoveel opgeschoten. Er zijn nog steeds heel veel grondstoffen voor nodig. Als we de wereld willen verbeteren zijn we vooral geneigd nieuwe dingen te kopen, die weliswaar schoner zijn, maar vervolgens staat het vervuilende apparaat op straat en is er ook nog eens een nieuw apparaat gemaakt. Opruimguru Marie Kondo beschrijft hoe je zo veel mogelijk spullen weg kan doen en zo je leven overzichtelijker maakt. Hoe alleen over wat je vreugde geeft. Vol passie schrijft ze over de vuilniszakken die de deur uit gaan. Wat alleen jammer is dat al die overbodig spullen vaak worden weggegooid. Je zou kunnen kijken hoe je juist die spullen wel een tweede leven geeft.

Don’t Read this Book, page 37

To Don’t List, page 41

Er was eens een businessman die keihard werkte om zoveel geld te verdienen dat hij de rest van zijn leven op vakantie zou kunnen. Dit doel kreeg de opperste prioriteit, ging voor alle andere dingen: gezin, vrienden, leven. Uiteindelijk was dan het zover. Hij kocht een jacht en zeilde de wereld over. Dat deed hij drie jaar lang. Eenzaam dobberend op zee, kwam hij tot een conclusie… wat had hij nu eigenlijk?

People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. — Simon Sinek

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.

People will always love your idea…

Wat je idee ook is, mensen zullen het bijna altijd een goed idee vinden. Wat is de reden om het geen goed idee te vinden? Eerst was er geen idee, nu is er wel een idee, maar alles is nog steeds hetzelfde. Het is fijn om positieve feedback te krijgen op dat wat je van plan bent. Het geeft jezelf vertrouwen om iets ook daadwerkelijk te gaan doen.

— Barack Obama

….until you ask them to pay for it

De harde werkelijkheid doet zijn intrede wanneer de mensen die jouw plannen goed vonden – of het nu een ontwerpstudio of een product is –ook moeten gaan betalen. Iets een goed idee vinden is, is iets anders dan dit goede idee ook kopen. Een goed idee hebben, is dus iets anders dan een businessmodel. En let op: dan gaat het er (in dit boek) niet eens om, zo snel mogelijk zoveel mogelijk geld te verdienen. Het gaat er wél om dat je als entrepreneur jouw service of product wilt verkopen. zodat je kunt blijven doen wat je leuk vindt. Zoals de Nederlandse rapper Brainpower ooit zei: “Ik maak geen platen om mijn kamer mee te behangen”.

Maar nog beter hoe je voorkomt dat deze spullen überhaupt je huis in komen.

As creatives we have a responsibilty and we can make a change!

We hebben als creatieven een verantwoordelijkheid. We creëeren dingen, maar we moeten ons dus wel realiseren wat de impact daarvan is. Zowel in positieve als in negatieve zin. Dichtbij ons huis zit een kleine ijssalon met fantastisch homemade ijs. De winkel gaat open in het begin van de lente en sluit in de herfst. Zodra de winkel open is, komt iedereen voor het ambachtelijke ijs. Zo ver, zo goed. Het enige nadeel is dat de hele dag medewerkers met vuilniszakken vol lege ijsbakjes en plastic lepeltjes lopen te slepen. Er is dus een keerzijde die we liever niet zien maar er wel is. Maar juist daar zit ook een mogelijkheid. Op het moment dat we juist die keerzijde oplossen, verbeteren we de wereld. En dat zou als creatieve entrepreneurs toch moeten lukken.

A city is a passel of people packed in a pot like pickles — David Detzert Eerder hadden we het over de verticalen concurrenten. Als we het over elektrische auto’s hebben dan zijn horizontale concurrenten vooral andere automerken. Op de verticale as bevinden zich de alternatieven. Wat als we nu een manier vinden waarbij we geen auto meer nodig hebben. Wie kijkt naar de toekomst van de stad ziet dat de stad alleen maar drukker zal worden met mensen. Waardoor er steeds minder ruimte zal zijn voor auto’s. Individueler vervoer en openbaar vervoer worden waarschijnlijk veel belangrijker. Een elektrische step en fiets of een zelfrijdende bus zouden dus goede verticale concurrenten kunnen zijn van de elektrische auto. Bovendien zij

Know Your Onions - Corporate Identity Get your Head Around Corporate Identity Design and Deliver One Like the Big Boys and Girls Not all of us get to work on multi-million corporate identity projects for airlines and huge conglomerates. If you are new to the sector or honing your skills, then this is for you. This book is for people who have to tackle identity projects in the real world. It is a broad introduction to identity design, not branding - don’t worry, you’ll learn the difference. If you want a book that gives you an action plan, this is for you. Whether you are newly tasked with a corporate identity project or just looking to hone your skills, this book will help you understand the process and learn how to deliver designs that impress.

18 THINKING Identity, corporate identity or brand I think it might help to clear the air and define what these terms actually mean. They certainly get mixed up and used incorrectly. As the title suggests this book is about identity. Identity is the visual language that an organisation uses to identify itself to the world. Often included in that is the use of the logo, typographic style, color palette, photography and illustration, language and tone of voice. Corporate identity focuses on a visual identity for a business as opposed to a product for instance. It is the same as ‘identity’ but usually refers to the organisation only. Branding is a much wider subject, it includes identity, corporate identity and a stack of other things like how your customers interact and feel about your organisation and product. Branding includes experiential marketing or engagement marketing, PR, events, the whole thing. For instance, Marmite is not just defined by the label on the pot, it has a whole personality of the brand (love it or hate it) and thrives on how people perceive it and its unique position in the British psyche. How many expats ask their mates to bring over a pot of Marmite in their suitcases when they come to visit? It’s the taste of home and a real illustration of brand buy-in. Clients often refer to a branding projects when they mean an identity project, there is no point in correcting them, just so as you know the difference. And now you do. Occasionally you may actually get asked to provide a full branding project.You’ll be tackling a stack of things outside a normal designers role and despite the publication of various books on the market that reckon you can do the whole thing in 5 easy steps, personally, I don’t think you can. I don’t cover that in this book. We have to focus people, identity is what we are dealing with here.

Favour gonna kill you faster than a bullet

Working for free There are a number of scenarios when working for free and only two of them should ever be acceptable and all of them are your own personal choice. These are:

“

Carlito Brigante, from the 1993 film Carlito’s Way’

Bono means ‘good’, I wonder if the U2 frontman knew that when he chose that, bet he did

Know Your Onions: Graphic Design, page 39

There could be a Know Your Onions book on each of these subjects and many, many more, but I’m not an expert on them, sorry to say.

FOR A MATE

PRO BONO

PITCH

THE PROMISE OF FUTURE WORK

For a mate If you want to produce an identity for a mate, why not? You’ll be helping them and as they are your mate, why wouldn’t you? But make sure you set out the parameters. As Carlito says ‘Favour gonna kill you faster than a bullet’. Know what you have agreed to, try an keep it professional and document what you agreed. I know you are dealing with a friend, but you will lose one as quick as lightning if you both don’t understand the parameters. Buy the way, just because the work is for free, don’t think for a moment you won’t have the same issues with regard to pinion and direction, unless of course you agree otherwise.

Pro bono On occasion, and I do it too, I choose to help an organisation and deliver my skills at no cost. I’m lucky, I have a great team (that sounds like something motivational speakers says) who can step in and do the necessary at the drop of a hat, so when I get a estimate request from an organisation like a small mental health charity, I price it low, really low. This is the key point, they think they are paying for it and the reason I make them think that is when you are paying for something, it has worth. But come invoice day, I explain that we have decided to offer the work at no cost, pro bono. It’s a nice thing to do. When projects are offered the oherway around, when the client asks for pro bono work or at a reduced cost, things often work out badly. I was once called in after a large branding agency, who’s creative director like the limelight had delivered a pro bono identity, only to leave them (after 13 months) with nothing more tangible than a new logo. It would be unprofessional for me to mention the organisation or the agency involved (ahem) but the result was a charity with a new logo and no understanding of how to implement it. The agency did it for the press, and they did very well out of it. There are no sour grapes here, I got paid well to ‘rescue’ the project, but if you are going to work pro bono, do the right thing and do it properly. Pitch We get asked to pitch all the time. A pitch can mean two things, come in an present your company and its credentials, which to my mind is absolutely free. Or do a stack of design work on our project, which you won’t be paid for, so that we can see whether we like them or not, or even steal them when you are not looking. I’ve banged on about how I feel about it in my other books.You have to choose yourself whether you want to entertain this sort of thing or not. If you are working for an agency, it won’t be your decision,

A lovely ‘thank you’ from a charity we worked with

Good Services Decoding the Mystery of What Makes a Good Service

Service design is a rapidly growing area of interest in design and business management. This book lays out the essential principles for building services that work well for users, demystifying what we mean by a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ service and describing the common elements within all services that work well for users or don’t. There are a lot of books on how to get started, but this is the first book that describes what a ‘good’ service is, what makes a good service and why. This book unlocks the common characteristics of ‘good service’ to the benefit of anyone involved with designing or delivering services. For readers who are not professional service designers, this book gives an indication of service standards they and their teams should aim to meet and the tools to achieve that goal.

What is a service? There are many definitions of ‘a service’. Most are long, complicated and almost impossible to remember. Most will claim that services are intangible or a set of processes, making them sound almost as if they are too complex to be designed.

But services aren’t complicated, and they don’t deserve the complicated explanation they’ve been given in the past. A service is simply something that helps someone to do something.

1 Be easy to find

To a user, a service is simple. It’s something that helps them to do something - like learn to drive, buy a house, or become a childminder. It’s an activity that needs to be done. A verb that comes naturally from a given situation that cuts across websites, call centre menus and around your carefully placed advice towards its end goal. This isn’t how most organisations see their services though. For most organisations, services are individual discrete actions that need to be completed in a specified order – things like ‘account registration’ ‘booking an appointment’ or ‘filling a claim’. Because of this, they need to be uniquely identifiable so that the people who are operating them can become familiar with them, and assist a user to complete their task. We’ve given these things names, nouns, to help us keep track of them. In government, these are things like ‘Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR)’ or ‘Statutory Off Road Vehicle Notification (SORN)’ – but the names private organisations give these things are no less obtuse. When it comes to finding your service, nothing is more important than its name. Sadly services that are badly named often fall into the category of ‘Googlefails’ – things you wouldn’t be able to find unless you knew what to ask for. 23

How to Have Your Cake and Eat it too, page 36

A good service is easy to find

The service must be able to be found by a user with no prior knowledge of the task they set out to do. For example someone who wants to ‘learn to drive’ must be able to find their way to ‘get a driving license’ as part of that service unaided.

Good services are verbs Bad services are nouns 24

Pregnancy Cookbook A Collection of Recipes that Appeal or Appall Depending on your Trimester Being pregnant is an exciting time, as your little avocado finally metamorphoses into a fantastic watermelon. It brings a lot of change: in your body, your moods and, more often than not, your appetite. For the next nine months, your tastebuds will never be the same. While there is much joy surrounding the soon arrival of a new family member, this book celebrates the fleeting wonder of weird pregnancy cravings. Together we’ll revel in 40 dishes; one for every week that you’re expectant. Like a roulette of feelings, this book will repulse, excite, horrify and satisfy you at every turn of the page. You’ll experience feelings you never knew existed, and once your bundle of joy is delivered, this collection of treats will never appeal to you again – unless, of course, you find yourself with another bun in the oven.

Cho-Co-La-Te Ba-Con Ingredients

You don’t have to be pregnant to appreciate this delicacy. Because bacon. And chocolate.

Bacon Milk chocolate

But also bacon. When I first heard about this craving I thought this shouldn’t only be for pregnant women. I soon realized that this has been a thing in the US for years, and for obvious reasons, because bacon goes well with everything. Now imagine it with chocolate. Few things in the universe complement each other better than chocolate and bacon. Rainbows and unicorns do, but their taste is supposed to be a bit bland. Fry yourself some bacon until it’s nice and crisp. Let it cool, and dab off the grease. Melt some milk chocolate and cover your bacon in it. Make sure the bacon is dry and crispy before you completely cover it with chocolate, because soft, moist bacon isn’t really bacon.

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION In order to establish whether VR has an added value, academic research compares experiences in virtual worlds with experiences generated via traditional media. But what should we measure? On the one hand, we can argue that for the sake of comparability it is best to choose an experience measurement that ‘fits’ all media, leading to generic dimensions related to emotions and evaluation.

never lose sight A conflict can arise when two people have opposite – thus clashing – interests. That makes it difficult to keep your focus on the goal. Take the Taekwondo fighter in the picture. He’s missed out on the bronze medal and he’s pissed. You can’t really blame him: he’s trained his whole life for an Olympic medal. But, in his rage, he kicks the referee in the face. No doubt he’s blowing off a lot of steam, but he’s also saying goodbye to any chance of an Olympic medal – which, after all, is what he wants. You’ll only achieve your objective if you focus on it. ■

Be prepAred to do it Many who are party to a conflict – particularly large companies – deal with conflict situations by dragging their feet. That’s not so stupid. A delaying strategy often works: many cases just die a slow death and disappear. If your opponent does this, you might have to get rough: you don’t have to like it, but you have to be prepared to do it. And you’ve got to let them know. The moment you hear that sound of dragging feet, take legal action or call in the media. They’ll listen, and they’ll often want to settle fast. As Al Capone once said: “You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.” ■

Don’t Read this Book / To Don’t List / Don’t Do This Game

As creative people, we have ideas. Bad, good, weird, clever, and even brilliant ideas. But most of them (even the great ideas) never see the light of day. Why? If you ask a creative person, the answer will always revolve around time. Don’t Read This Book focuses on how to make choices about everything you do in your daily creative practice and life. The book follows the ‘To Don’tList’ method: When you say ‘no’ to one to-do, task, or project, you have more time to execute another one. Don’t Do This Game will get you out of your comfort zone. It stimulates creativity through limitations. To Don’t List gives you the gift of simplicity: Just make a list for your life/work/project/year/month/day and throw out everything after the 3rd item.

How to Visit an Art Museum offers fresh perspectives on how to behave once inside the museum. Whether first-timer or frequent visitor, it shows you the sense and nonsense of museum etiquette.
