After a while without publishing anything, today I'm finally going to tell you about one of my favourite movements, Art Nouveau, and I'll probably do more than one article about it, sorry not sorry.
At the end of the 19th century this movement arose, in a period called the Belle Époque, full of optimism and progress, and was known in each country by a different name (Modernismo in Spain, Liberty in Italy, Sezession in Austria, Modern Style in the United Kingdom, among others), and, as its name indicates, it was intended to be a new and modern art, related to the Arts and Crafts (of which I speak in the 18th publication), as it values craftsmanship and seeks to socialise art, bringing beauty to elements of everyday life (it was beautiful even to a toilet), so this hierarchy between Fine and Decorative Arts disappears.

Over recent years I’ve become fascinated by the topic of organisational design. Once, I would have considered this a product of some fairly arbitrary decisions, driven either by abstract concepts of organisational structure or as a necessary consequence of managerial logistics.Matthew Godfrey
Being a huge fan of behavioral psychology, I like to analyze popular apps design to see what techniques they use to attract and engage users.
