تلخيص لكتاب "فكَّر خطأ: كيف تتغلب على الحالة الراهنة وتؤدي العمل المهم".

كتب الكتاب بقلم جون بيلينبيرج، ومايك بيرن، وجريج جالي، مع إليزابيث إيفيتس ديكنسون.

ونشر في سنة 2021.

وتصنيف الكتاب إدارة الاعمال والقيادة والتصميم.

يبدأ الكتاب بتأسيس الفكرة الرئيسية لـ "الوضع الراهن" أو "الحالة الراهنة", ويشرح المؤلفون كيف يمنع الوضع الراهن للأفراد من القضاء على روتين توليد الأفكار من خلال خلق ممارسات لتفكير الخاطئ، واتباع الافراد منهج التفكير المغاير لتغلب على عقبات التي تظهر عند محاولة رؤية فريدة الى حقيقة واقعة، وقال المؤلفون الطبيعة البشرية تحب الروتين والاحساس بعدم الارتياح بأن يكون التفكير بعيد عن المألوف او خارج الصندوق.

ويطرح المؤلفون ستة مواضيع رئيسية: "كن جريئًا، استكشف، أطلق العنان لنفسك، اصنع الأشياء، جازف مجازفة صغير، وتحرك بسرعة" والتي تجسد جميعها ممارسات طورها المؤلفون التفكير الخاطئ والحصول على أفكار أكثر تنوعًا وإبداعًا. "كن جريئًا" وهي فكرة وجود حلول أكبر بدلاً من خطوات صغيرة، و "استكشف" من البحث الى السعي لإيجاد الإلهام لأفكارك والحصول على معلومات جديدة، "أطلق العنان لنفسك" وهو وضع نفسك في موقف غير مألوف أو غير مريح حيث يمكنك تحمل المزيد من المخاطر والتعرض لوجهات نظر وفرص مختلفة، "اصنع الأشياء" وهو تسليط الضوء على تطور العديد من الأفكار المتناثرة وتحولها إلى أفكار ملموسة. "جازف مجازفة صغيره" تجسيد فكرة المجازفة على الأفكار الصغيرة التي تسمح بتوضيح الأفكار الأكثر تفصيلا. "تحرك بسرعة" لبناء الزخم لتغلب على الشكوك والأخطاء وتجاوز الارتباك والمشاركة والانفتاح للآخرين لمساعدتك في تطوير حلولك.

واقترح كتاب "فكَّر خطأ" فكرة التفكير الجديد للقضاء على المثالية الثابتة التي جلبها الوضع الراهن، من خلال الممارسة، سيتمكن الأفراد من حل المشكلات بطريقة إبداعية ومبتكرة.

بعد قراءة الكتاب تمكنت من التعرف على طريقة جديدة في التفكير، والتركيز أكثر على التفاصيل والعملية والابتكار، وهناك موضوع آخر مثير للاهتمام يوجه المؤلف انتباهنا إليه وهو عدد الأفكار التي يجب إنشاؤها عند التوصل إلى ابتكار جديد، على سبيل المثال، إذا توصلنا إلى مئات الأفكار المختلفة، فيمكننا الحصول على عدد قليل من الأفكار الجيدة، ولكن ماذا لو توصلنا إلى عشرين فقط وقدم الكتاب أيضا أدوات وموارد ستسمح لي ولغيري من الأفراد بتوسيع ممارساتنا حول كيفية توليد الأفكار.

practitioners and so they believed in this kind of classical modernist

view of graphic design you know some of these works you might have seen before but I think it was a place where it was like form follows function design should be neutral design as problem-solving and that was my first exposure to you know coming from just like all these you know a rule-breaking or a very kind of working-class diverse kind of affinity to letters I was suddenly learning that there was a canon that you know in established history a history that was you know mostly white uh male-centric and male-dominated by the history nonetheless that they told me that was you know the only history and I had to just really digest that and you know a lot of my career is just as much of realizing where you know where my influences are because this is something that influences me a lot but it's also unlearning that this is the only acceptable

um kind of history but you know I just been I just almost kind of hit the jackpot where I studied with two you know teachers in typography Leah Hoffman Simon Johnson who trained directly under Wolfgang Weingarten who was another Swiss designer that I really looked up to um in Switzerland and so they really kind of just engrossed me into the whole history of it and I just kind of just did my best and you know the first year as many of you might have also experienced was like you know no computers at all and doing things I think the proper way and what I was lucky was that you know before my frontal lobe was developed I gained a framework on how to deconstruct and look at the world around me you know a lot of design principles that you might learn like repetition or contrast um you know you start to really see that kind of play out in the world where the stakes are maybe higher and the implications are a little bit larger and so you know this was just really kind of this early exposure to people that created the rules and people that broke the rules at the same time and but I think as I went on through my education I started realizing that these rules as helpful as they might be there's a lot of performative um there's a lot of performativity or a lot of theater to it you know I think we you know in school I learned so much about like the grid um having a

a structure having things line up and having things be rational you know I think everybody's probably seen the

the thing on the bottom right where people try to make up these like kind of lines and ex like all these like invisible kind of guides and scaffolds about this is why there's a bite out of the apple you know a lot of it's um a lot of it is to just was made specifically to sell

design as something to take seriously but it's also what was also interesting was that

this was always in school seen as like you know you had a classical design which was like the graphic design dark ages and suddenly in the 1950s Helvetica came around and everything kind of changed but that's not true I mean grids are for example seen as like a recent invention but ever since the printing press was invented we've been trying to um rationalize things and have like an internal kind of structure um Aldous minus one of the earliest printers in Venice um in the 16th century you know the more we uncovered his books and we printed we realized that it wasn't just you know random letters formed together on a letterpress set you know there was a grid there was a structure there wasn't an internal um order to things and there also was you know a set amount of proportions um

and a pattern you know to even just how the letterforms existed, and they were all interconnected and related and they kind of use you know what if you go design at dropbox or Facebook or Google, for example, you might get told like the Fibonacci sequence is like a magical number but for them you know they had their own set of like magical numbers and magical proportions and rules to think too and

that was what was important to them, but you know I think when we look back at history, I think we oftentimes really kind of overcomplicate things and so you know

the letterforms that we use today are the Latin alphabet you know a b c d to z um you know we could thank the Romans for that and so the letters have been around for thousands of years and so we lost a lot of information about roman culture

and roman society um as Europe entered into the Middle Ages or what was

previously known as the dark ages so, by the time they happened you know the renaissance happened they were just really fetishizing a lot of like what the Romans did so it was like just rediscovering roman philosophy and Greek philosophy and rediscovering you know the classics as they called in, they're like there must, be a reason for everything and so when we look at these letterforms um you know by the time.

Landscapes of Time and Space by Kenjiro Okazaki’s

The artist discusses his current collection of miniature abstract tableaux, as well as the history of landscape painting and why uncertainty may provide a sense of purpose.

Travis Diehl, Each little abstract artwork in your series 'Topica Pictus' [2020–ongoing] is accompanied by a brief essay. I'm keen to hear your thoughts on the situation.

Kenjiro Okazaki’s, I remember a lot of things as soon as I start painting. I don't start painting with a theme in mind. Rather, the painting process is a search for a certain subject or concept. Each piece must have its own distinct personality. Each character's style cannot be limited to that of the artist. For instance, in [Corn and Summer Wheat,2002] When I first used this hue, the tone reminded me of Thomas Hart Benton's work Corn and Winter Wheat (1948). Then it reminded me of the Japanese argument about whether or not landscapes can have regional features. This is how I begin to think and write at the same time as I paint.

TD: I'm not sure how much of this is my imagination, but several of your abstract paintings have compositions that seem like works by other artists: For example, [Albrecht Dürer's Dream / A massive rain drop ravages the quarry, 2020] has overtones of Pieter Bruegel the Elder's Tower of Babel [c.1563].

KO: They do, in fact, have the same diagonal. I recognized not just that painting, but other works by Paul Cézanne, such as Mont Saint-Victoire [1904–06]; quarries were a favourite topic for Dürer. Looking at Bruegel's Tower of Babel, I notice that it isn't a tower at all: it is a stone quarry erected on top of an existing mountain.

Kenjiro Okazaki, (Corn and Summer Wheat), 2020, acrylic on canvas, 16 × 20 cm. Courtesy: the artist and Blum & Poe, Los Angeles

TD: So, all these mountains are reflected in your composition.

KO: Yes, since they combine art and nature.

TD: The margins of the colors and strokes appear to be mirrored in the notches or recessions of your frames as well.

KO: The frame is the device that directs movement from the artwork to the outside world and from the outside world to the painting's universe. It has to do with architecture. The most crucial purpose is to let a breeze pass through while providing shelter from the rain. Of course, the purpose of my frame is inspired by the history of the curved canvas, which prioritized the painting as an object over the autonomy of the painting space. The frame is added after the painting is completed; however, I find that I anticipate the shape of the frame while I work on my paintings. Writing, painting, and frame (architecture) are all vital to me, even if I don't understand how everything fits together. It's similar to the three-body dilemma outlined by Henri Poincaré in the 19th century: when three or more stars have enough mass to have a gravitational impact on each other, their velocity becomes practically incalculable and unpredictable. I get nervous whenever I try to write or draw something because I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it correctly.

Hurvin Anderson and Peter Doig on the Caribbean's Meaning Two artists reflect on the relevance of place in their work as their exhibition 'Life Between Islands' opens at Tate Britain.

Amy Sherlock, what does the term "Caribbean" conjure up for you? Hurvin Anderson In an odd sense, the Caribbean is a location I'm unfamiliar with yet have learnt about via dialogue. I've never lived there, but I'm familiar with it because to family stories. That may be why I'm attracted in the Caribbean scenery — I've heard so much about it since I was a kid. My first visit to Jamaica was when I was 14 years old, in 1979. I was the only one of eight children born in the United Kingdom.

Peter Doig, Cricket Painting (Paragrand), 2006–12, oil on canvas, 3 × 2 m. Courtesy: ©️ the artist and Michael Werner Gallery, New York/London

Peter Doig, how 'Caribbean' do you believe your work was before you returned to Trinidad as an adult in 2002 to conduct a residency?

HA: Pre-2002 works, I believe, were me looking at British life through the perspective of the Caribbean. I was utilizing Handsworth Park in Birmingham, near where I grew up, to interact with the British countryside. It was a location I was familiar with and understood.

AS: The setting of your early picture Ball Watching [1997] is highly vague. It's difficult to tell what we're looking at and how far the landscape stretches beyond the frame.

PD: When I first saw that picture when you were a student at the Royal College of Art, I thought the figures' body language was very non-British. One man, in particular, stood in the center with his knee bent. That piece, to me, is more about the people, this gathering, and this time of watching and waiting than it is about the scenery.

Peter Doig, Paragon, 2005, aquatint and etching on paper, 39 × 30 cm. Courtesy: ©️ the artist, Michael Werner Gallery, New York/London, and Tate

AS: Figures appear and disappear in both of your works. Do you consider yourselves to be painters of landscapes?

PD: When people ask what I do, I tell them I paint figures, sometimes in landscapes. The figure, I believe, is significant; even if it isn't immediately visible, there is the sense of presence, of something human.

HA: It's interesting how you responded. Figuration is a big concept for me. I suppose I'm trying to be vague. I'm still fascinated by abstraction.

PD: I have a different relationship with the Caribbean than Harvin since I grew up in Trinidad.

I moved there when I was two years old, and I stayed until I was seven and a half years old. My father was passionate about oil painting. He'd attend a lot of the local shows and, despite his meager income, managed to acquire a few pieces. My childhood home in Canada was subsequently decorated with paintings by Trinidadian painters. Those identities were still around when I went to Trinidad 33 years later. Carlisle Chang, Willi Chen, Leo Glasgow, and the Holder brothers, Geoffrey and Boscoe, are just a few of the artists that are well-known in Trinidad. Or Sybil Atteck, who studied in St Louis under Max Beckmann. She returned to Trinidad and made a significant impact on the local scene.

The logo is the famous Adidas brand logo.

The name Adidas is derived from that of its founder, Adolf Dassler. The company's logo has changed over time, but it's always included three stripes. The current configuration is three stripes at an angle which together form a triangle. This symbolizes a mountain also evoke back to the heritage of the company which was founded in Austria (the alps/mountains), which in turn represents the challenges that all athletes have to overcome, and the mountain emblem contains balance and harmony in the emblem.

Project 1, FA222, Advertisement analysis

DR. Ehab Juma

In many ways, this advertisement is a throwback. This commercial design incorporates vintage motifs to honor a traditional commodity (milk) while promoting a very "now" product (oat milk). The commercial design incorporates pictures from thirty or forty years ago to appeal to an audience that may not be willing to make the changeover. The message is clear. If you can't drink milk, this is the next best alternative. The commercial is ingenious in that it pays respect to a classic while presenting what is typically the wave of the future, expresses how delicious milk tastes and the yellow color suggests happiness when drinking milk. The color also reflects the color of oats that is added with milk.

The ad is very comfortable for the eye and the appropriate and harmonious colors.

This product from "Tropicana" specializes in orange juice. Orange slices inside the juice box indicate that the juice is fresh without any sugary additives or flavors, and the scattering of orange tree leaves around the juice suggests that the oranges come out of nature straight into the juice box.

The elements of composition and design in the advertisement, the main element (drink can) in the middle of the advertisement so that it allows the viewer to see the product directly without being distracted by something else, then he sees some details in the advertisement, and the other element (orange slices) attached to each other in the form of juice and creates for us The element of unity, and the orange color also gives its ability to open the appetite, at the top if we notice the leaves and some oranges have been hidden by 50% so as not to narrow the product itself and the product is the center of attention in the advertisement, and the tree leaf gave the design movement instead of sukoon Advertising.

FA222 Assignment6, Principles of graphic design

Dr. Ehab Juma

In this assignment, we were asked to make a group of two people present two custom design principles. For example, the group might research and present the principle of 'balance' and 'focus'. In terms of research, students use library resources, books, journals, and online references. Each group writes the topic and presents it to the class. Each group had to provide 3 examples illustrating each of the specific principles. Each design principle should present a single artwork that demonstrates the principle.

I used one of the design principles used is alignment and leaving margins on the page content helps focus the eye on the content better.

I took this photo of the product in the heritage villagein (alkaria altorathia) which is in “Askar”.

The product is a soft drink which is called “crush” that the old generation miss.

The idea is to bring back the memory of the old soft drink.

Then I added a text to make it look balanced.

Dr. Ehab Juma

In this task, we were asked to search for an existing logo that we would like to redesign, analyze, and critique in visual, aesthetic, social, economic, or political dimensions and we can also suggest ways to improve the logo. The logo is redesigned using Adobe Illustrator and an A4 size artboard.

I have reworked the famous Kanafani logo in making delicious kunafa

Initially, my goal in developing the logo was to simplify it from the elements that are abundant.

At first, I simplified the character in the logo as a hat and a mustache.

And I changed the line to a more sophisticated line in line with the hat line.

I worked from a regular circle to a circle that resembles the shape of vermicelli that is used for kunafa.
