Bien-Être Simple’s Vibrant Branding and Web Design by Impulso

Bien-Être Simple’s Vibrant Branding and Web Design by Impulso

abduzeedo

Explore Bien-Être Simple’s engaging branding and web design by Studio Impulso, blending accessibility and modern aesthetics.

Bien-Être Simple (BÊS) has long been a trusted source for accessible content on mental and physical health. Recently, the media platform underwent a comprehensive rebrand led by Studio Impulso, transforming its digital presence with a vibrant, fresh, and friendly identity. The result is a visual language that breaks down barriers, ensuring health topics remain approachable and free from stigma.

Studio Impulso’s primary goal was to redefine how Bien-Être Simple communicates with its audience. The design had to feel like a safe, welcoming space, reflecting the platform’s mission of inclusivity. Every aspect, from the color palette to the web layout, was chosen to convey warmth and accessibility. The new branding signals that tough conversations about health can be approached with compassion and openness.

Color Palette: A Mix of Vibrancy and Comfort

Color plays a crucial role in this rebrand. The selected hues are bright yet calming, striking a balance between energy and comfort. Shades of blue instill a sense of trust and calm, while pops of green and yellow bring a playful edge, representing hope and vitality. This thoughtful combination ensures the platform is both visually engaging and emotionally resonant, making health topics feel less intimidating.

Typography in the new design reflects a clean and modern sensibility. Sans-serif fonts dominate, chosen for their readability across screens. Paired with strategic use of bold and light weights, the text hierarchy is clear, making it easy for users to navigate the content. The font choices align with the platform’s mission: to deliver crucial information in the most digestible way possible.

A User-Centric Web Experience

The redesigned website, crafted by Studio Impulso, prioritizes user experience. Clean lines, intuitive navigation, and ample white space ensure that visitors can easily access articles and resources. The layout is responsive, adapting beautifully to various devices, a necessity for a platform dedicated to being universally accessible. Smooth transitions and interactive elements guide the user without feeling overwhelming.

The new visual identity and web design make Bien-Être Simple a standout in the health and wellness space. It’s a masterclass in how design can drive inclusivity and encourage meaningful engagement. Studio Impulso has successfully balanced creativity with clarity, delivering a look that embodies Bien-Être Simple’s core values.

Taking stock of national agricultural R&D capacity in Africa South of the Sahara

This report is a timely input into the ongoing development agenda for Africa South of the Sahara (SSA). The 2013 report on agriculture and food systems by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network released a set of post–2015 development goals, including recommendations that low- and middle-income countries increase their spending on agricultural research and development (R&D) by a minimum of 5 percent per year during 2015–2025, and that they allocate at least 1 percent of their agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) to public agricultural R&D. More recently, the Science Agenda for Agriculture in Africa was adopted at the African Heads of State Summit, necessitating the development of a continent-wide implementation plan. This report, which summarizes SSA’s recent progress in developing its national agricultural R&D systems, is intended to serve as an important input into, and potential benchmark for, the implementation of the science agenda in SSA and the broader development agenda for the region. The analysis is based on comprehensive primary datasets by Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI), the most recent of which was compiled during 2012–2013.

Botswana: Agricultural R&D Indicators Factsheet

Botswana: ASTI Agricultural R&D Indicators Factsheet

Overall, the number of researchers holding PhD degrees doubled in Botswana during 2000–2011, and the number of researchers qualified to the BSc-degree level tripled.

Agricultural R&D in Botswana is almost entirely funded by the government. Spending on operating and program costs increased significantly during 2005–2007, but contracted again from 2008, when government funding to many public-sector agencies was cut due to spiraling inflation.

Botswana invests a relatively high share of its agricultural GDP in agricultural research. Nevertheless, such a high intensity ratio is not uncommon in countries with small populations and relatively high per capita incomes. Small countries are not able to benefit from economies of scale to the degree that larger countries can, so basic research infrastructure and staffing constitute greater shares of investment.

Democratic Republic of Congo: Agricultural R&D Indicators Factsheet

Democratic Republic of Congo: ASTI Agricultural R&D Indicators Factsheet

Despite rapid growth in recent years, DR Congo’s agricultural R&D spending remains well below the levels required to sustain its needs; in fact, spending levels as a share of AgGDP are among the lowest in Africa.

Agricultural researcher numbers also grew rapidly in recent years, particularly at INERA and CRAA, although most of this growth occurred among researchers trained to the BSc or MSc levels.

Accounting for just 9 percent of total researchers, women are severely underrepresented in agricultural R&D in DR Congo, especially given that the country’s agricultural labor force is predominantly female.

CMENAS and Georgia State University Lecture Series. Bridging the Gulf: Patterns in Contemporary story from Kuwait to Oman (November 14, 2024 3:00pm)

Event Begins: Thursday, November 14, 2024 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies


This presentation focuses on the importance of studying contemporary Gulf states. The definition of contemporary in this context considers the period starting from the early 1990s. The reason for this has to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union, regional changes like the invasion of Kuwait and its consequences, and the wider Middle Eastern regional consequences. The presentation also looks at the patterns that emerged in all Gulf states at the same time in different contexts: political, economic, and social.

Mahjoob Zweiri is a professor of contemporary politics and Middle Eastern history with a focus on Iran and the Gulf region. He was the director of the Gulf Studies Center at Qatar University from 2018 to 2024 and the head of the humanities department from 2011 to 2016. Before joining Qatar University in 2010, Zweiri was a senior researcher in Middle Eastern politics and Iran at the Center for Strategic Studies, University of Jordan. From March 2003 to December 2006, he was a research fellow and then director of the Centre for Iranian Studies in the Institute for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at Durham University. Zweiri has more than 95 publications in the areas of Iran, contemporary Middle Eastern history and politics, Gulf studies, social sciences in universities of the future, and artificial intelligence’s role in social sciences. In addition to Arabic, he is fluent in Farsi and English. Zweiri is the founder and editor of the *Journal of Gulf Studies*, published by Intellect, and editor of the book series *Contemporary Gulf States*. Currently, he is a visiting professor at the University of Michigan.
