Bullshit Jobs to Basic Income : Redesiging economic rewards

Bullshit Job : not what you think David Graeber has turned what would have happily stayed a colourful expression of our daily lives into an actual concept. In his book Bullshit Jobs - A Theory published fairly recently in 2018, he expands on the concept : A bullshit job is one that even the person doing it secretly believes need not, or should not, exist. That if the job, or even the whole industry, were to vanish, either it would make no difference to anyone, or the world might even be a slightly better place....

Design is at the crossroad of business technology and art

I look at design as a univeral tool for problem solving. However most people and client I meet seem to see design only as the visual aspect of the solution. The “How it looks” versus being the “how it works“. So I decided to make a visual represention of it.

When options are limited, people produce more solutions – not less. When people are limited they try to improve and optimise.  The opposite is true. It is known as Parkinson’s Law : “Work expands so as to fill the time available for it’s completion”  Well, seems like what is true for time budget is also true for financial budget. The more money there is available the more money you will use for your project....

Faire son site – où est la vrai difficulté ?

Si seulement faire son site était aussi simple que veut nous le suggérer la dernière pub de Wix… Même si des plateformes comme Wix et autre Weebly et même WordPress ont permis de démocratiser le web, et c’est une très bonne chose en soi…. il n’en reste pas moins que la dure réalité de la création de site ne réside pas uniquement (voir même pratiquement pas) dans sa difficulté technique de réalisation mais bien dans sa capacité à vendre....
