Download or read book Moda e Psicologia del colore l impatto emotivo sull abbigliamento written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La moda, più che una forma di espressione, è un linguaggio potente che comunica la nostra personalità, emozioni e intenzioni. I colori, elementi centrali della moda, giocano un ruolo fondamentale in questo processo, influenzando direttamente il modo in cui siamo percepiti e come ci sentiamo. La scienza dietro i colori: La psicologia del colore studia come i colori influenzano le nostre percezioni, emozioni e comportamenti. Ogni colore ha una frequenza specifica che vibra nel nostro corpo, provocando reazioni psicologiche diverse. I colori e le loro emozioni: •Rosso: passione, energia, vitalità, potenza, audacia. •Giallo: gioia, ottimismo, creatività, entusiasmo, giovialità. •Blu: tranquillità, pace, fiducia, sicurezza, serenità. •Verde: armonia, equilibrio, salute, speranza, rinnovamento. •Rosa: Amore, affetto, romanticismo, femminilità, delicatezza. •Viola: lusso, raffinatezza, potere, creatività, mistero. •Nero: Eleganza, autorità, professionalità, forza, mistero. •Bianco: purezza, semplicità, pace, innocenza, freschezza. La tavolozza della personalità: I colori che scegliamo di indossare rivelano aspetti della nostra personalità. I colori caldi, come il rosso, l'arancione e il giallo, esprimono estroversione, dinamismo ed entusiasmo. I colori freddi, come il blu, il verde e il viola, riflettono l'introspezione, la calma e la serietà. Il colore nella comunicazione non verbale: I colori possono essere utilizzati per trasmettere messaggi e intenzioni senza bisogno di parole. Ad esempio, indossare il rosso a un colloquio di lavoro può trasmettere sicurezza e autorità, mentre indossare il blu può trasmettere calma e affidabilità. Creare look con impatto emotivo: •Abbina i colori al tuo umore. Se ti senti felice, indossa colori allegri come il giallo e l'arancione. Se ti senti calmo, indossa colori rilassanti come il blu e il verde. •Usa i colori per evidenziare i tuoi punti di forza. Se hai gli occhi verdi, usa le sfumature del verde per evidenziarli. Se hai i capelli castani, usa le sfumature del rosso per evidenziare il colore della pelle. •Crea look monocromatici per un look elegante e sofisticato. •Usa colori contrastanti per un look più divertente e audace. •Scommetti su accessori colorati per dare un tocco speciale al tuo look. Conclusione: I colori sono strumenti potenti che possono essere utilizzati per esprimere la tua personalità, comunicare le tue emozioni e creare look dall'impatto emotivo. Esplora la tavolozza dei colori e scopri come i colori possono aiutarti a sentirti più sicuro, potente e autentico. Suggerimenti extra: •Ricerca la psicologia dei colori e il significato di ciascun colore. •Prova diverse combinazioni di colori e nota come ti fanno sentire. •Lasciati ispirare dai look di celebrità e fashioniste. •Non aver paura di osare e creare look unici.

Download or read book Cradle to Cradle written by William McDonough and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.

Download or read book Competences in Education for Sustainable Development written by Paul Vare and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights key moments and movements in this "competence turn" in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and explores the different ways in which competences have been conceptualized and implemented. By marshaling a dialogue between chapters and sections, the book provides a coherent whole that will become a key source on ESD competences. The contributors develop a conceptual map against which to chart existing (and future) ESD competence frameworks, offer new critical case studies that explore the implementation of educator competences in ESD at different structural levels in different European contexts, explore the link between pedagogy and educator competence through hitherto unpublished case studies based on current practices across Europe, and consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ESD and educator competence. The book comprises 23 chapters divided into four sections, with an introduction and concluding chapter. Section One introduces concepts and models related to ESD competences, while the following two sections focus on implementation and pedagogy. In light of the foregoing material, the shorter Section Four is both reflective and forward looking. The primary audience for this book will be academics and students working in the fields of Education, Sustainability Science and related disciplines.

Download or read book Circular Entrepreneurship written by Antonella Zucchella and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original book explores how the principles of circularity, considered a law of nature but neglected within the materialistic orientation of the industrial age, are becoming attractive again in business and society. Investigation reveals enterprises small and large delivering a stimulating message, from changes in entrepreneurial mindsets to the inclusive use of new technologies and a push for innovation. Zucchella and Urban explore the novel concept of circular enterprise, showing how, with their capacity to innovate, these firms are becoming the most powerful actors of a new, sustainable social order. They examine two fundamental questions: why is this revolution occurring now, and how is it being implemented? Focusing on the most innovative practices, they demonstrate the potential of circular enterprise for industry and wider society, making clear that a new world is emerging.

Download or read book The nEU Med project Vetricella an Early Medieval royal property on Tuscany s Mediterranean written by Giovanna Bianchi and published by All’Insegna del Giglio. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nEU-Med project is part of the Horizon 2020 programme, in the ERC Advanced project category. It began in October 2015 and the University of Siena is the host institution of the project. The project is focussed upon two Tuscan riverine corridors leading from the Gulf of Follonica in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Colline Metallifere. It aims to document and analyze the form and timeframe of economic growth in this part of the Mediterranean, which took place between the 7th and the 12thc. Central to this is an understanding of the processes of change in human settlements, in the natural and farming landscapes in relation to the exploitation of resources, and in the implementation of differing political strategies. This volume presents the multi-disciplinary research focussed upon the key site of the project, Vetricella, and its territory. Vetricella is thought to be the site of Valli, a royal property in the Tuscan march. It is the only Early Medieval property to be extensively studied in Italy. Located on Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast, the archaeology and history of this site provide new insights on estate management, metal production and wider Mediterranean relations in the later first millennium. Apart from reports on the archaeology, the finds from excavations and environmental studies, three essays consider the wider European historical and archaeological context of Vetricella. Future monographs will feature studies by members of the project team on aspects of Vetricella, its finds and territory.

Download or read book The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 written by Glenn-Marie Lange and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries regularly track gross domestic product (GDP) as an indicator of their economic progress, but not wealth—the assets such as infrastructure, forests, minerals, and human capital that produce GDP. In contrast, corporations routinely report on both their income and assets to assess their economic health and prospects for the future. Wealth accounts allow countries to take stock of their assets to monitor the sustainability of development, an urgent concern today for all countries. The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018: Building a Sustainable Future covers national wealth for 141 countries over 20 years (1995†“2014) as the sum of produced capital, 19 types of natural capital, net foreign assets, and human capital overall as well as by gender and type of employment. Great progress has been made in estimating wealth since the fi rst volume, Where Is the Wealth of Nations? Measuring Capital for the 21st Century, was published in 2006. New data substantially improve estimates of natural capital, and, for the fi rst time, human capital is measured by using household surveys to estimate lifetime earnings. The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 begins with a review of global and regional trends in wealth over the past two decades and provides examples of how wealth accounts can be used for the analysis of development patterns. Several chapters discuss the new work on human capital and its application in development policy. The book then tackles elements of natural capital that are not yet fully incorporated in the wealth accounts: air pollution, marine fi sheries, and ecosystems. This book targets policy makers but will engage anyone committed to building a sustainable future for the planet.
