In 2019, Italy will host again the European Capital of Culture. 15 years after Genova, which won the bid in 2004, another Italian city will be assigned the title. There will be a fierce competition among various Italian cities, and Matera is one of the candidates. Extraordinary city, declared as patrimony of humanity and awarded with the UNESCO title in 1993 (the first to receive the title among cities in the South of Italy), Matera has a history in catching the eye of architects, artists, politicians, cultural tour operators, tourism and innovation representatives.
Matera is symbol of national and international culture, famous for its ancient town the “Sassi”, which holds extraordinary stories of exodus and recovery. The “Sassi” (meaning stones), are houses dug into the calcareous rock itself (called tuff). They represent a primitive housing system, perched on the slopes of the deep and magnificent valley, locally known as “la Gavina”. The “Sassi” are a token of the persistence over time of a prehistoric past, still present in the maze of the tiny streets, in the landscapes and the cavernous rambles that lay below the newly built structures. In the 50’s, due to their degradation, the “Sassi” are called a national shame and all the 20 000 habitants are moved to the new neighborhoods. But only 50 years after, Matera turns into an internationally known example of social and urban progression as its restructured Sassi become a valid model of eco and sustainable living, allowing water and energy savings.

在这一步中，您将看到要求您提供解决方案的品牌 Builder 相关信息。他会自我介绍 (当然是作为品牌 :) 您对品牌的了解越深入，您的作品被接受的可能性越大。
重要事项：可能出于保密原因，品牌 Builder 不愿透露自己的身份。此类 Brief 将以匿名方式发布。这种情况下，品牌 Builder 想介绍多少，就介绍多少。
这里有两个例子
如果愿意透露其身份（可见）：
“NMN -No More Nicotine- 是一个承诺能抵消吸烟对皮肤造成的损害的品牌。NMN 通过药房销售，价格定位处于中高档；该品牌主要通过专业人士推荐，没有大量的广告宣传。”
如果品牌不希望透露其身份（匿名）：
“能抵消吸烟对皮肤造成的损害的品牌。其产品通过药房销售，价格定位处于中高档；他们主要通过专业人士推荐，没有大量的广告宣传。”
简而言之：谁是您的客户 (无论是可见还是“匿名” :)
The city of Matera, as in the head of the Committee and of the bid project, asks Creators to design the logo of the committee, keeping in mind that it should be very easy to recognize and to remember. The logo has to contain the following words: “Matera 2019”, “European Capital of Culture”, “Candidate City”
这是什么？
这是品牌 Builder 要求您完成的任务。如果您不了解，那您就彻底没戏了。
例子
“我们想让 Creator 设计一个印刷品广告宣传来增加品牌知名度。将在今春投放到全国媒体杂志上。”
简而言之，这是客户的目标，因此也是您的目标！
National and International institutions, citizens, cultural tour operators, tourists and potential sponsors.
这是什么？
品牌 Builder 希望您让他们高兴，并说服他们想到、感觉到或使用您的创作做某些事的人。通常您会读到他们的年龄、性别、社会阶层和行为。您在创作过程始终应把这些信息牢记在心，因为目标受众才是最终接受您作品的人。
例子
“想要戒烟但无法做到的女子。通常是关注自己外表、注意健康的成年人。他们对于自己吸烟感到愧疚，因为他们知道吸烟有害。他们阅读相关书籍。这对他们来说是一个真正的问题，就像：“我的脑袋要某样东西，但我的身体却不听使唤”。他们和我的品牌无关，他们只是在等待值得信赖的“援助之手。”
简而言之：把握他们的想法！
The logo aims at easily communicating the name of the city, the date of the bid application and the city style. An open and young, wiky style candidacy that has deep origins rooted in a local and regional history passionate about its own culture.
这是什么？
品牌 Builder 想要目标受众从您的创作中，思考 / 感觉 / 有所行动的东西。
以下是一些具体示例：
∞ 人们会想到 / 感觉到的一些事：
- 出现了一个新的品牌（或产品或创意或...）
- 这个品牌比其它的或以前的更好
- 这个品牌值得多花点钱
∞ 人们会做的一些事：
- 开始购买该品牌的产品
- 更经常购买该品牌的产品
- 在零售店里库存更多该品牌的产品
上面这些例子非常具体，而通常 Brief 提案是感性的。那样更好，因为可以带来灵感！
例子
“我们想要鼓励吸烟者使用 NMN，将对他们健康的影响降至最低，让他们继续尝试戒烟（尤其如果他们已经尝试过，但是未成功）。”
简而言之：进入他们的脑袋！
The candidacy has to bring its contribution to the progress of Matera and its territory. A credible process that has shown important achievements so far and that has no intention to stop; a progress involving both a physical change (e.g. the tuff shelters with a history of shame turned into a main attraction for film makers, architects, designers, artists, Italian and foreign writers) and an immaterial transformation. The logo has to transmit this spirit of change (switch) and to give it further voice, turning it even more perceivable.
这是什么？
这是实现目标的关键；是支持提案，使其可信的内容。通常是理性的陈述。
例子
“您吸的每一根烟都对您的外表造成损害。最近的一项研究选取了多对一模一样的双胞胎，其中一个吸了一辈子烟，另一个则从未吸过烟。吸烟者的皮肤比不吸烟者的薄四分之一，有些差别甚至多达40%。NMN 含有能阻止皮肤变薄的抗氧化剂，抵消了尼古丁对皮肤的影响。”
简而言之：需要理由吗？就在这里！
INNOVATIVE: the logo has to be refined, able to look towards the future while maintaining a strong simplicity and easiness of comprehension.
HAPPY: the log must raise emotion and transmit the warmth of Matera and its people.
WIKI: the logo must send across a sense of belonging to a universe focused on sharing (knowledge, places, relationships) while in continuous expansion, like a cultural model even.
这是什么？
这是品牌的个性。对...是个性！
将品牌视为一个人，有自己的个性。了解“客户”的个性对于完成度身定制的工作来说至关重要。所以，请仔细阅读所列的形容词...
例子
“科学、值得信赖、注重结果，实现您目标的‘良师益友’。”
简而言之：将其想象成一个活生生的人物！
The committee logo, as an identification element, will be displayed in all communication pieces, in any size and format (brochure, website, advertising campaigns, print campaigns and videos, and any promotional activity or tool). It may also be used in all institutional materials of the committee founding entities and shared with the commercial operators able to apply it to ad hoc merchandising.
这是什么？
列出了目标受众将能够看见您创作成果的地方（或媒介或事物）。这一步中，有时品牌还会告知您该制作的预计投资金额。此信息有助于您决定项目的规模大小。 :)
例子
“此广告活动将于 2009 年春季投放于侧重于生活方式和健康的新西兰妇女杂志上。我们计划投资 500000 美元，可以购买大约 100 张单页。”
简而言之：考虑媒介！
The committee logo must contain, as a basis, the characteristics of Matera’s historical identity of its blazon: the color blue representing the brightness of the sky, the letter M calling mother earth that originates and to which return all our citizens’ actions. However we ask Creators to look for new ways, to take less beaten paths and confront their design with the logos of the other 30 European capitals of Culture. We would like to receive logos that merge historical roots and future insight as these are the essential elements of Matera’s candidacy.
The Logo must be presented in the following formats:
- colored, indicating the pantone colors
- black and white
- with white background and with colored background
如果品牌有任何的偏好选择或解决方案必须达到的技术要求，会在这里提供说明。
这部分可能包括：
∞ 指导方针或必须包含的事项（注意事项）
∞ 商业目标
∞ 市场和竞争者概述
∞ 正面和反面样本
取决于 Brief 的不同，您可能会发现一些随附的文件，比如徽标、产品图片，您提交创意时使用的模板，或任何品牌想要与您分享的其他文件。所以，开始创作前先研究一下随附文件。
简而言之：所有需要您知道的其他事项（之前七步中没写的）！
