BRAND LABRESEARCH: PANTONIZE YOUR BRAND

Pantonize your brand is a way to look at your brand differently. Call it brand pointillisme, if you're into art. You start by selecting a subject that is clearly brand related. Now that's the first hurdle to take. Since what object, place, area, could that be? The smoking area? The parking lot? The supermarket shelves?

Then, you'd need a pantone chart, and, I know, these do not come cheap. Stick the colour swatches on the subject, and take a picture. Repeat the same. And in a short period of time, you'll be looking at a collection of moodboards related to your brand. You 'll be amazed by the process as such, but also the final results. Since a good study of the pictures will open your eyes on your brand, the harmonies, even the brand's emotions. But they will also point out the lack of coherence or empathy. 'Reading' the final moodboards, then, can be a bit tricky.

SALONE SATELLITE 2012


Addictlab is granted a booth at the famous Salone Satellite. Well, we have to pay for it, but still, it's an honour to be there. We'll be showing design talent out of our database, and from diverse countries. Satellite regulations are that we can't sell on the booth, and the selected designers need to be under 35.

Upload your newest work in order to be selected!

We're contemplating on having another presence in the city, with our other activities, such as the Touristlab.

BLOG: MANIFESTO FOR RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION

Thoughts on collaborative creation:

'Group thinking sparks responsible solutions. Change R.O.I. from Return On investment to Responsibility Of Innovation. (...)

'What if bringing people together in collaborative processes results in interaction, in surprising or out-of-the-box ideas, but also brings forward a clear wish to create 'for the community'?'

'More than ever, I believe that out of the box thinkers have a huge potential in view of the desired changes for the planet, the way we live together. In that sense, creative minds also have a huge responsibility.
