Q: Finding whether all characters in a for loop match a requirement(s) I have a list; list_words_punc which is a list of all the words in an input() using the split(). I then have another list; list_words which is a list of all the words in that same input() but without their punctuation (I.e .,?!). sentence is the input(). I want the program to check for all words in list_words_punc that every letter is a letter and it all gets appended to my new list list_words; any other punctuation is disbanded. The error I'm having is that if I use for s in l: if s.isalpha() and then append that to my new list, the list will be appending the letters as separate words instead of appending the same words from sentence just without punctuation. Is there any way to append the words?
list_words_punc=sentence.split()
list_words=[]
for l in list_words[]:
    for s in l:
        if s.isalpha():

Example just if I was unclear:
sentence="How, are you?"
list_words_punc=sentence.split()
list_words=[]
for l in list_words[]:
    for s in l:
        if s.isalpha():

I get:
["H","o","w"," ",...]

A: You could use regex to achieve this

*

*re.findall() returns all non-overlapping matches of pattern in string, as a list of strings.

*\w represents a single word character

*\w+ means one or more of a word character

Hope you understood.
Example:
Code
import re
sentence="How, are you?"

list_words = re.findall(r'\w+', sentence)
print(list_words)

Output
['How', 'are', 'you']

A: Basically what you are doing is appending at the end. The operation of appending always creates a new index and appends that value at that index. So, what you do is something like this.
sentence="How, are you?"
list_words_punc=sentence.split()
new_words=[]
index=0
for l in list_words_punc:
    word=''
    print(l)
    for s in l:
        if s.isalpha():
            word+=s
        else:
            new_words.append(word)
            word=''
    if word!='':
        new_words.append(word)
        word=''
print(new_words)

So, you don't append character by character, instead create and store in an index (it is inefficient), but it works and removes all the punctuation and the list new_words has the words without punctuation

A: First of all you are iterating on list assigned none that is wrong itself
Now answering question you just need to append each character at the end of string.
sentence="How, are you?"
list_words_punc=sentence.split()
list_word=[]
for word in list_words_punc:
    s=""
    for c in word:
        if c.isalpha():s=s+c
    list_word.append(s)
print (list_word)


As a software engineer at SocialJoey.com, I get to do full stack development on an app which handles content creation, generation, publishing, and stat tracking for businesses that use SJ's services to keep their social media channels hopping (see: kangaroo theme...). I love being able to add new features, rethink ways the app works currently, and make something look awesome and fuction well. As a remote employee, I value the vibrant tech culture in the Nashville area as well as connecting with other local developers. Feel free to contact me if you have a problem I can help you solve or if you just want to grab coffee or a beer and chat about web development.
I've posted a few sample projects below that I did a while ago. As I have time to create new apps outside of my day job, I'll add them here as well.

Added features to and removed bugs from this automated CMS-like applicaiton that is used for creating, editing, designing, and publishing content on behalf of Social Joey's clients across a growing collection of social networks.
UPDATE: I was hired full time by SocialJoey in 2017, and I've since helped rebuild the app from the ground up, which has been an awesome experience. The marketing pages are found at the live site below, but most of my work has been focused on the internal and robust application that their employees, partners, and clients use to accomplish everything that SocialJoey does.

What can you make with your own body, using no tools? Designer Nikolas Bentel made a four-legged stool. He felled a tree without an axe or saw, whittled the wood with his teeth and let his woodworker father use Nikolas's bare fists like hammers. Bentel's video series All Purpose Nik explores the human body's potential through a few projects, starting with the one above.
Over email, Bentel says he's pro-DIY, and he questions how much the modern consumer relies on buying everything pre-made. But he also likes poking fun at do-it-yourself culture: "Every now and again you see a DIY project defeat the purpose of doing the DIY project in the first place! Where it actually takes a lot more time, energy and materials to create the DIY project then to just buy the same item in a store."
Bentel's stool definitely takes more time, and it would have been easier to just carve down one big block of wood. But the stool has a rough beauty — so much that I feel a little suspicious that Bentel snuck in some tool use.
Certainly tools were involved in drawing the plans for the stool and if you count clothing, shelter, and clean surfaces, tools were used in the creation too.
But of course, purism isn't really the point. One of the inspirations for Bentel's stool is the Toaster Project, in which artist Thomas Thwaites replicated a mass-produced electric toaster from scratch. Thwaites travelled the world to gather his materials and quickly realised that to build anything, he'd have to rely on "cheats" like modern transportation, internet research and "not making my own shoes for walking to a mine."
But as Thwaites writes, "it's the cheating rather than slavishly following the rules that make the project more interesting, and lead to discussions of questions other than whether it's possible to make a toaster alone."
Bentel's stool shows what the human body can do with even the barest raw materials. It suggests that a DIY approach can replicate even complicated industrial processes. And Bentel hopes that the absurdity of using his teeth, nails, and fists to build a stool throws the absurdities of consumerism into relief.
He thought of the project after driving two blocks to the grocery store. "When I walked in the door I stopped and realised just how ridiculous it was to not just walk to the store, instead of driving a two-ton machine to carry me there."


This past year, many people deleted their social media accounts following revelations about privacy violations on social media platforms and other concerns related to hate speech.
As people adopt their resolutions for the year, it is likely that many more will reconsider their social media use.
However, as a scholar of social media and religion, I'd argue that rather than just stop using social media, people could use it to improve their overall well-being. Here are three ways to do so.
Direct messaging and comments can help with a deeper level of engagement.
One of these studies showed that commenting on a post, instead of pressing the like button, could improve the mood of the person who made the original post. In one such example, a respondent in the study described how personalized comments, even trivial ones about funny cat videos, can result in feelings of support.
Similarly, research has shown that social networking sites can provide social support to those who have recently lost a job.


Photo Contests - These contests have a slightly higher barrier to entry, as you're asking for people to give you their photos. They're a lot of fun, and can get you tons of UGC (read authentic marketing photos).
Simple Entry: You want a short, easy form for people to be able to enter quickly. Avoid lots of form fields and only collect data that is absolutely necessary.
Add a banner to your website: Put a banner on your homepage, with clear CTA's, and direct link to you contest landing page. Show your prize, and how to enter.
If you have User Generated Content - showcase the winner(s) (and runners up): Use your new photos, videos and essays and post them on your social sites and website.

'It was a modern-day lynching': Violent deaths reflect a brutal American legacy
Published 5 Jun 2020, 12:36 BST
Lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abraham S. Smith, Marion, IN. 1930
Artist Ken Gonzales-Day has been widely recognized for the "Erased Lynching" series, which include lynching postcard photos that effectively "erased' the victims of lynching and focused on the white crowds gathered to witness the murders. Gonzales-Day argues that the erasure of the lynching victim "allows the viewer to see, for the first time, the social dynamics of the lynching itself."
The photos, absent of the images of victims, "helped us to recognise the dynamics of whiteness within the complex history of racialised violence in America," Gonzales-Day said. "Rather than re-victimising those murdered in such collective, and often pre-meditated acts of killing, the work allowed the viewer to literally focus on the crowd – complete with their jeering and smiling faces. "

Hit the sand at Megansett Beach, a popular town beach tucked in the quiet village of North Falmouth. With its wide, sandy expanse of shoreline, Megansett Beach is a great spot for Falmouth residents to swim, sit by the water, and picnic with family and friends.
Take in a sweeping panoramic view of Megansett Harbor and Buzzards Bay from Megansett Beach. Lots of Falmouth families come to the beach each summer to enjoy the harbor's calm, inviting waters. Just beyond the shore, there's a raft anchored where youngsters love to make a splash! At low tide, wade out to a sandbar where you'll find soft, fine sand. Thanks to its roughly western-facing position, Megansett is also a stunning place to take in the sunset year-round.
Megansett Harbor is loaded with sailboats, offering a classic Cape Cod view. Many boats launch from Megansett Harbor Landing right next to the beach. Parking is a bit limited, get here early to find a spot. A resident parking sticker is required during the summer.
Megansett Beach's shoreline is large and sandy, with lots of shells to discover. Shellfish live in the harbor's sandy bottom, and many of their shells eventually wash up on shore. A beachcomber will find scallops, quahogs, mussels, boat shells, and jingle shells – also known as mermaid's toenails!
For those who want to dig deeper, Megansett Beach is open to recreational shellfishing on weekends. Just get yourself a Falmouth shellfishing permit, and you'll be digging for your own quahogs in no time!

For Agents: A Painless Way to Deal with Ancillaries
by Michele McDonald / April 28, 2015
Travel agents have for several years grappled with how to deal with airlines' ancillary products. But in the not-too-distant future they, too, will be able play in the ancillary game relatively painlessly.
It's already happening in Europe.
Epteca, based in Zug, Switzerland, was founded two and a half years ago to bring travel companies and vendors of a wide range of products together in a way that consumers can enjoy rather than dread.
"The airlines have turned ancillary revenues into something bad," Bojan Jokic, Epteca's founder and CEO, said.
Ancillary products have become synonymous with fees, "so it's like a punishment," he said. "And they've taken it to extremes."
Fees versus service
Travel is a fantastic industry serving billions of people, Jokic said. He thinks the industry ought to do better.
From the consumer's perspective, bag fees do not add value to a trip, he said.
"Neither does charging a fee so that you can sit next to your wife. It's a fee, not a service. Nobody's buying into this as a service."
But, "if it's something kind of neat, then they'll buy into it as a service," Jokic said.
'Awesome' offerings
There are "so many awesome things" that travel companies can offer that will ease the pain of a journey rather than add to it, he added.
For example, instead of charging fees so harried parents can be assured of sitting with their children, an airline might offer to have diapers waiting for them at their hotel. Or a tired business traveler returning home might be relieved to know that groceries can be delivered on her arrival.
Other offers might include dining, destination services, taxi, parking, entertainment options – anything that a traveler might need
Epteca, which calls itself "the GDS of fragmented offerings," has assembled a roster of vendors all over the world that can meet the needs of travelers in a variety of situations.
It communicates with travelers via a white-label mobile app and sends offers to them that are appropriate for the stage of their journeys and the type of trip they are taking.
The concept has taken off, and Epteca has grown by leaps and bounds – so much so that it reluctantly has had to replace some of its original vendors with larger firms that can handle the volume.
Use by off-line agencies
The platform was designed for airlines, hotels, tour operators, and online agencies, but offline agencies have begun using it as well, Jokic said.
It isn't feasible for the smallest agencies, but for those making at least 10,000 bookings a year, it could be within reach. The company generates an individual pricing model depending on the business and its offerings.
Although Epteca has the means to fulfill requests in many countries, it currently serves customers and works with travel firms only in Europe.
That, however, is likely to change; Jokic has his eye on expansion.

What Is Wrong With Pokemon?
According to a creepypasta I read, The Midnight Game dates back to an old pagan ritual and essentially is a game to summon a spirit. The game is played by a person writing their name on a piece of paper, pricking their finger to produce a small drop of blood on the paper, lighting a … Continue reading What Is Wrong With Pokemon?


Of course, there are many bands out there performing covers for many different reasons. Some want to pay tribute to artists who have influenced them. Some want to highlight their own musical style by covering a song in a very unique way. Sometimes a new artist will cover a popular song as a way of getting themselves heard. Whatever the reason, covers have been around for ever and so we have put our heads together and compiled a list of some of what we consider to be the best, or the most different ones.
Released by, of course, The Beatles in 1967, their own version of this song remains well loved. It is one of the most covered tracks, having been done by at least 50 other artists. However it is Joe Cockers radical reworking of the song in 1968 which stands out, being regularly polled as one of the greatest cover versions of all time.
From 2001 – the band admit to wanting to pay homage to Michael Jackson, both in the song and the video. "We want to pay homage to Michael Jackson, but on our level. Obviously we're not that glitzy, so we just want to tastefully take the stuff that's cool in his videos and apply it in our own dirty little backyard way." This one went to number 1 in Australia, New Zealand and the US Modern Rock Chart, and to number 3 in the UK.
A big hit for The Eurythmics back in 1983, this was covered by Marilyn Manson in his own unique style in 1995 and helped to catapult him into the mainstream, along with some extra lyrics and a video which is not for the faint hearted!
Talking of artists covering songs in their own very unique way, how could we leave this one out! What can we really say? Vicious did not know all of the lyrics when he came to record the song in 1978, so he made many of them up, in a way that only he could. Certainly an iconic contender for most memorable cover!
While only loosely falling into the category of 'Cover Version' we wanted to include this unlikely mash up from Beatallica! Combine The Beatles with Metallica and what do you get? Well, 'Hey Dude' of course! It shouldn't work, but it does… doesn't it?
We would love to hear your opinions. What is your favourite cover version? What the worst one? Take a look at our repertoire and tell us what tracks you think we should be doing. What tracks would you be looking for from a live band?

International Musician & Recording World - Jul 1975	Jeff Beck
by Jon Tiven
Another exclusive in which Beck reveals his true colours
Jeff Beck's reputation as the world's greatest guitarist, the planet's most erratic musician, and the Universe's most elusive character precedes him. With a career full of brilliant rock albums behind him, Beck currently fronts a semi-rock/jazz four-piece which virtually defies categories but certainly doesn't strictly qualify as a rock outfit. Jon Tiven cornered Mr. Beck in Springfield, Massachusetts and popped the question: "Would you like to do an interview." "Not really, but go ahead anyhow" replied Jeff.
Do you feel your playing changes when you switch from your Gibson Les Paul to the Fender Strat, and if so, how?
Quite so, the Strat's not so slippery and you can't do so many tricky things on it. The fingerboard is much slower. The Strat has a more wiry sound with less punch.
Why are you using Fender amps?
Christ knows, they just happened to be there. As long as you've got enough level, I'm not worried about what amplifier I've got, as long as they don't blow up. Quite honestly, the sound is pretty much the same. Perhaps an expert can tell the difference but I couldn't.
How do you feel about playing guitar when you know that every budding musician worth his salt is going to listen to whatever album you make and learn every lick?
It's great as long as they don't just play like that. As long as it acts as an encouragement for them to learn how to play, or just to play. I can't see the point in groups playing other guy's songs or solos note for note.
But there are a lot of guitarists around today who play, or try to play just like you, the obvious example being Mick Ronson. How do you feel about that?
Yeah, I know he does. But he appeals to a part of the public that I don't. If he was pulling my audiences I'd be annoyed, but as long as he pulls his own, I'm not.
When you went into the studio to do the new album, did you have songs in mind, or what kind of preparation had you made?
We had some sound tunes to play... I didn't have any arrangements, or all the chords. Like Stevie Wonder goes into the studio with everything, right down to the last topping, but I'm not a believer in that. I like to go in and come out being really knocked out with what I came up with in the studio. Max Middleton found the musicians for the album. The drummer's brilliant, he's only nineteen and plays a 5/4 time signature like he's falling off a log, scary really.
Did Max put this band together, or did you?
No, I did. I've always been a friend of Max because he's very stable, and you can't afford not to have someone like that around. You get a star, a looner, a poseur and right away he's trying to steal the limelight.
What have you been doing in the period between BB&A and this?
Looking for players... looking for a bag to be in. It's very hard nowadays, it's bloody impossible. You've got 500,000 groups in one small area alone all raping around, trying to rape you of ideas. As quickly as you come up with 'em, they rip 'em off. It's like the fuzz-box thing, you get a fuzzbox and all of a sudden there's a factory making fuzz-boxes.
Were you thinking about a band during the making of the Blow By Blow album?
No, the main concern was to get the album finished without having to think about a road band. I just wanted to break away from the business, it's such a big, phoney, rubbishy business. It's not a business, really, a business is when you sit in an office and wear a suit. It's an entertainment.
I heard that at one point you were thinking of joining Sly.
I sussed out the scene and it didn't look good. He was going to produce BB&A, and then I told Sly that I wasn't into the BB&A thing and he dropped his interest in it. He found out that I wasn't interested, so he wasn't interested. I hung around for ten days with Sly, and he said 'Do you want to stay at my house?' and I said 'Yeah' and the next day I got on a plane and went home. That's the story.
Was BB&A a joke from the start?
Of course it was. You don't form a band that's five years obsolete and take it seriously. I wanted to show people that that band wouldn't have made it... some nights it was alright for what it was, but most of the time I was totally frustrated. I couldn't hear myself play because Tim was so loud. Then I was making terrible mistakes and he was just groovin' on not even looking at me. I was just fumbling. I mean, I can be heavier than any guitarist if I want to be but I have to have the push behind me, I can't have people treading on me. You're in a band, you have to fight together and not against each other, you fight and pull in the same direction. Carmine was fine, but Tim's moods and mine were just impossible.
What was it tike working with George Martin?
At that time he was very helpful. I wouldn't say that he'd be of much use on any further albums, not the way he was on that one. When you haven't been on the road for two years you need something really subtle and together to put you back on the track. To get you back in the swing of it. George is a bit of everything, I was very impressed with the way he handled it. At first I didn't think he was doing much, but the album seems to be picking up in sales, so I suppose his job is done well.
It's a very clean album...
You can hear everything. That's what I like, I don't like fuzzy, six billion watt rock 'n' roll riffs that just go in one ear and out the other. It's a real listening album, you can sit and listen and hear something else every time, and it only took twelve days to make. We had a week in a rehearsal studio and we'd gotten five numbers done, a couple of them in the first two days, and it was going so well that it snowballed from there. Apart from the mixing it was an enjoyable album to make; the mix can murder the thing, as everybody knows, because the mix is what people listen to, not the 16 track blasting out.
Did you originally enlist George because of his involvement with the Beatles?
No, that was a very slight attractive point about him. I bore it in mind that he had done the Beatles thing, and therefore assumed that he'd be confident enough to do anything else that came along. But I didn't specifically choose him for that reason, I just wanted someone levelheaded, not a young with-it whipper-snapper who just wants to take the money. He's not a square by any means, he can sit and criticise your music and praise it when necessary and that's what a producer should do, and there aren't many of them about.
For my sort of stuff it's very difficult to find a producer, because I don't come in with sheet music and say 'Right, where's the artist?' and get in and get out. I wait for something to happen and pick up the threads.
How was Don Nix as a producer?
When he was awake, you mean? Most of the time he was fast asleep. Or out on some rocking chair outside a ranch in Dallas with his cowboy hat slumped over his head. He's not a producer.
You did a BB&A album with Jimmy Miller, didn't you?
That rubbish is still in the can. The sound was appalling and the material was shitty, so I didn't see the purpose of releasing it. The first BB&A album didn't do anything for me, it did nothing for my career whatsoever. It sold a lot of albums, but that's about all. We tried to produce BB&A ourselves after the first failure, that time with a bloke called Geoff Haslam. It was equally disastrous.
When did you produce the Upp album?
Slightly before I made Blow By Blow... actually quite a while ago, really, almost two years ago. They're very amazing, nice voice. It was great, it was the first time I'd been able to lend a hand to somebody that needed it. It was important that they got moving in the right direction. I played down my role as the guitarist, I didn't want to make a big splash about it.
What kind of things do you listen to at home?
I only play about one or two tracks of an album, and then I make up a cassette of my own favourites. Stevie Wonder. I get fed up with just about everybody.
Do you listen to any guitarists?
No, most guitarists annoy me. I listen to Stanley Clarke and Jan Hammer. I like real musicians, not the poseurs who buy suits and fancy guitars. There haven't been any good guitarists around for the past five years, no one really emerging. Mind you, I don't get to see that sort of talent anyway, all I see is rubbish... I turn the TV on and it's rubbish, and we have no radio in England, just a little noise that comes out every two minutes.
The Bay City Rollers...
I don't mind that, there's got to be a market for kids under three. 24 hours a day airplay for the Bay City Rollers... and they can't play a half-hour of good music, even Beethoven or something. And Pirate Radio, the first few weeks they're on the air they play some really way out sounds, and all of a sudden you start getting dropsys from the DJs and the rot starts in. And they think we don't know about it.
One of the things that's always amazed me about you is your ability to stay on top while moving in new directions. What inspires you to play?
It's in your blood, there's nothing like going on stage and blasting away. And to have it enjoyed. It wouldn't be so good otherwise, if no one liked it, I wouldn't bother. I'm only here because I hope people like it. If I was twice as good and there were a dozen people in the audience that hated what I was doing, I couldn't go on. In a crowd of 20,000 I'd be upset if there was one guy in the front given me the bird. It goes to my heart, I'm a human being. If it's shitty don't boo, just walk out... it hurts a lot more if people are booing than if there's nobody there.
Do you play a guitar a lot if you're not on stage?
Yeah, but there are always things to be done around the house. I've got a bunch of old cars that I play around with. I haven't actually built any for two and a half years, but I keep them in immaculate condition all the time. It's a masculine side of me coming out, but it goes out the window when I think about music. I just put grease all over 'em and keep them stored away.
Do you have a guitar collection as well?
I used to, but it keeps getting whittled down by these thieves. I've got two old Esquires, one with a neck and one without. I've taken off the old pick-ups and put Gibson Humbuckings on, it's just a bit hard to play, like a Strat. I'll be playing a Strat later on in the tour, but as it's just the beginning of the tour, I thought it would be best to stick with an easier guitar.
Do you ever listen to your records after you make them?
Nyah. Max plays the album all the time, and it gets on my nerves. By the time you've finished it, you've heard it enough times, and then you go through a period when you don't hear it. After that, when you first hear it, it sounds nice. The secondary period you listen to it, and then you don't want to hear it anymore. And then you've got to play it onstage.
This is the first album in awhile where you haven't written most of the material yourself... how does that feel?
Actually on the early albums I didn't always write the tunes myself, we did that for the simplicity of publishing. I'd publish the songs and give them their share... rather than having it split up because they didn't have a publishing deal. Most of the songs were me and Max.
How do you feel about one of your former trainees, Ron Wood, playing with the Rolling Stones?
I don't want to talk about it. There's no music there. As you get older you just don't want to hear that rubbish anymore. The Rolling Stones are finished, as far as I'm concerned, and they admit it as well. If only someone would play on their records and show them how to play some more chords, that's all. It was great when they first started, but ten years later they're still doing the same thing.
Ever hear a guitarist by the name of Tommy Bolin?
Yes. He's very good. Plays really nicely on the Billy Cobham album. Sometimes sounds a bit like me.
A little like you and a little like Ritchie Blackmore as well.
There's always that danger because Blackmore and I were playing the same sort of stuff twelve years ago, when all these other groups were playing at weddings with bow ties. That's why I like that scene, I'm glad it's still around. It's very easy to make records and get all the girlies, but we were doing that before any of them.

I had heard that SNK was going to support the PS2 but I haven't heard of them making any games yet. Has anyone heard of what games are going to come out if any for the Playstation 2.
The SNK is dead but Aruze may releace some titles. Why not!? Many titles are goming out to DC so..
I think KOF 2000 is coming out, Aruze is completely supporting Sony now supposedly and has abandoned Sega.
On unrelated news Sony underestimated the acctual number of people who would reserve PS2 so Sonys about 20000 units short. And if anyone read the new issue of GI they know this-many Sega games have been canceled recently (including Unforgive which was gonna be made by Sega!).
I heard the same too, relating to Neo Geo. And it was the September Game Informer, I think- the one w/ the Parasite Eve 2.
Ok cool I guess I'll be buying a PS2 then. I only like NEO GEO and Square Soft games so looks like I'll be killing two birds with one stone if I get a PS2. Thanks guys. Now I wonder exactly what games will come out. And when.
Yep you are right. I got the info mixed up. Reading too much magazines.

Nathan Ake was Manchester City's second signing of summer 2020, arriving on a five-year deal which keeps him at the Club until 2025.
The 25-year-old defender joined from Bournemouth, where he made 109 appearances in three seasons.
Ake played predominantly at centre-half for the Cherries, but is capable of playing left-back and started his career as a holding midfielder.
A 13-cap Netherlands international, he moved to England in 2011 at the age of 16, when Chelsea signed him from Feyenoord.
He made his first team debut on Boxing Day 2012 and went on to be part of the 2013 Europa League and 2014 League Cup winning squads.
However, first team opportunities were limited and he embarked on several loan spells, first at Reading, before a season with Watford in 2015/16, when he won the Hornets' Young Player of the Year award.
He joined Bournemouth on a six-month loan deal in 2016/17 and moved permanently for a club record fee the following summer.
Ake's first campaign at the Etihad was hampered by muscular injuries and he was restricted to just 13 appearances.
He would suffer more frustrating injuries during 2021/22, but more than doubled his appearances from his first campaign with 27 and impressed whenever he featured.
Ake has again impressed so far during the 2022/23 campaign both with his consistency and adaptability at the back.
The 27-year-old was then named in the Netherlands squad taking part at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
He maintained his fine form out in Qatar, starting all five of the Netherlands' games as they reached the quarter-finals before going out 4-3 on penalties to eventual champions Argentina.

We recently attended the end of year exhibition by the Communication design students at RMIT. They had chosen to exhibit finished work but also to show their developmental process and the things that inspired them.
They set out the room with rows of school desks and then arranged some of the things they used to generate ideas. In many cases they showed their visual diaries. Rather than just being sketch books these often showed the process they used. They analysed the things shown to them in lectures and then put them into their own work flow process. This was reassuring to see as so many end of year exhibitions just show slick finished pieces of artwork.
It was coincidental that Carol sent me a link to Jared Sinclair's blog where he outlines why he thinks design process is more important then the almighty rush to produce a cleaver 'creative' solution. Jared's expertise is in app development so I have modified his approach to the following points.
Open (creative) and closed (execution) modes of working should be kept cleanly and formally separated. This means that once the design is approved you move to the artwork phase which should not be used to constantly redesign the project.
Creativity is a way of operating, a habit of the mind — not a talent. Creative sessions should be kept separate from the hurried every-day process of getting things done. When we need to solve a problem that requires creativity, we should deliberately shut out all of that noise and stress. In this time we strive to think of as many ways to view a problem as we can muster.
Delay decisions until the moment they must be made. There's no value in a decision itself.
It's during this time of indecision that you roam amongst the most outlandish solutions. It's in this stage of indecision that you fire, aim and then get ready to examine the impact.
A short time interval between minor revisions is a more effective measure of your productivity than whether or not you will complete a project by its deadline. The constant, rapid iteration of ideas is the mark of a Lean organisation that understands the need to have small time gaps between iterations in order to roll the project forward.
In thirty years of working with designers I am yet to see a great design that was the first option offered. Don't accept a first — or even a second or third — revision as final.
An all-in-one computer and display.
Feels like a screen and not much more.
The designers take these as givens and then develop designs for each generation of iMac. Look at the diversity of solutions and you will see how successful this approach has been.
