About design…

How important is creativity in the development of a product or vision?

How crucial is the product, its design and presentation for the initial perception of the consumer?

A design is not only a bold idea, and a dream vision of the designer. It can empower or kill the creative. And if we rely on it in the selling process, we’d better work on it for this very purpose. In its contemporary marketing usage it has to take into consideration the needs and emotions of the viewers. It should fit the environment and media and yet it should be recognized amongst the thousands other messages and visuals.
Whether it is modern, conservative, simple, or interactive – this all depends on your skills and willingness to experiment and to challenge the expectations of the viewers.
Come to DESIGNDAY’09!

Get inspired by the ideas and the experience of the best, and share the vision.

Getty Images, the world’s leading creator and distributor of visual content and other digital media, and Flickr™, a division of Yahoo! Inc. and one of the world’s largest photo sharing communities, announced a collaboration that unites the authenticity of images from the Flickr community with Getty Images’ imagery collections, photographic expertise and unrivalled experience in licensing digital media.

The exclusive partnership allows Getty Images to invite Flickr members to participate in a Flickr branded collection on www.gettyimages.com that will be available for licensing to Getty Images’ creative, commercial and editorial customers in the coming months.

The two major companies are working together to establish the first commercial licensing opportunity for photo-enthusiasts in the Flickr community. The Flickr collection will feature photography selected by Getty Images editors based on their expertise in licensing digital content and insights into customers’ needs. In the next several months, Getty Images will begin inviting selected Flickr members who will have the choice to participate in the collection. The two companies are collaborating to build online tools to help editors contact Flickr members, and to add images to the new collection. Over the next several months, thousands of high-quality images will be available for licensing on www.gettyimages.com with a goal of making many more available over time.
