DTOD:'UX is really just good marketing'- Joshua Porter*----------- *TOD: W. H. Auden, Jack London, Aristotle

DTOD: “UX is really just good marketing. It’s about knowing who your market is, knowing what is important to them, knowing why it is important to them, and designing accordingly. It’s also about listening after you’ve designed and adjusting to the changing marketplace: improving the experience of those in your market. It’s easy to recognize this when you consider that users = market. That’s what users are: your users are the market you’re designing for.” – Joshua Porter

TOD: "A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds." - Sir Francis Bacon

DTOD:Eric Wicks*----------- *TOD:Benjamin Jowett

DTOD:"Design is not just about solving for the negative; It’s about creating a positive."– Eric Wicks

“For a solution to be truly sustainable and good it must have a positive return to the environment and society. At the heart of any design problem is a question: Are we trying to make something less bad or are we trying to make things better?… It’s not just about solving for the negative; It’s about creating a positive.” – Eric Wicks



TOD: "The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit of doing them." - Benjamin Jowett

Tim Brown

Design is human centered: Design more than ergonomics that’s simply putting the buttons at right place. Its often  with culture and context before starting to ideas. In India instead of string with technology we started with people and culture. Instead of thinking about what to build, building in order to think. Prototype speeds up the process of innovation. Though which we start understanding its strength and weaknesses. Faster we do that faster our ideas evolve. Human need is place to start prototyping a vehicle to progress then also ask some question about destination. Design of participatory systems. Getting the process out of the hand of designers and   getting active participations of community, we can tackle bigger and more interesting questions. By focusing on system we can have bigger impact. Start Asking the right Questions. – Tim Brown

James Cameron in TED talk 2010

Curiosity is most powerful thing u own. Imagination is the force that can actually manifest the reality. Respect of your team is important than all the Laws in the world..... James Cameron

Advice to young film makers: Don't put limitation on yourselves. Other people will do that for you. Take a risk. NASA has a phrase: Failure is not an option. But Failure has to be an option, in art and exploration because its leap of faith. No innovation happened without risk. Failure is an option But fear is not. ... James Cameron in TED talk 2010
