Nigeria is such a good edge case to consider when creating, because if this was designed for a Nigerian context, there would have been a latch to release to return it to its original position.
I saw this video of a school using a kids' monitor to clock in the student.
Their parents will receive notifications when their child enters or leaves school.
This is impressive and a good initiative👏👏
Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
@NessaIsBlooming@evistarrrr@LanreyAfolabi Great read.
Incentives for consuming degrading content (in this case, pleasure and fun) drive behaviour and leads to addiction but I strongly believe that it/they can be countered with a remedial one which has to be entertaining, educative and captivating. It's a full project.
I love seeing creatives redesign iconic local brands. This Gala concept is sleek, modern, and visually clean.
But as a brand strategist, before i am a designer, looking at the new design highlights a massive trap
I will break it down. 🧵
