From the clothes we wear to the cars we drive, we design our lives every minute of every day. Doing this consciously lets us create the life we desire. Successful brands know what they want, and they know how to get it. They design the future they want and create the process to reach it. At the heart of this process lies the logo. Without it, we would not recognise the brand, and we could not display our allegiance to it. The logo identifies and calls us to the brand dream. Our ancient ancestors used the same elements of colours and symbols to draw their visions on cave walls, and early languages were considered sacred. This time-proven tool has been honed by modern designers and is available to us all. A logo effectively holds the imprint of a business and conveniently straddles the world of our imagination and of our solid world of manifestation. Like visual ambassadors, logos deliver our dreams to the world so they might become reality. This book shows you how.
The chapters in this book offer concrete examples from all over the world to show how community livelihoods in mineral-rich tracts can be more sustainable by fully integrating gender concerns into all aspects of the relationship between mining practices and mine affected communities. By looking at the mining industry and the mine-affected communities through a gender lens, the authors indicate a variety of practical strategies to mitigate the impacts of mining on women's livelihoods without undermining women's voice and status within the mine-affected communities. The term 'field' in the title of this volume is not restricted to the open-cut pits of large scale mining operations which are male-dominated workplaces, or with mining as a masculine, capital-intensive industry, but also connotes the wider range of mineral extractive practices which are carried out informally by women and men of artisanal communities at much smaller geographical scales throughout the mineral-rich tracts of poorer countries.
