Designing Mind-Blowing Domino Displays
When a domino falls, it releases potential energy that can propel the next one over. Then the energy moves from domino to domino, creating a chain reaction that can lead to the destruction of many things. The concept of domino is also used in business to describe how a change in one part of an organization can ripple through it, affecting the whole system.
Dominoes are small rectangular blocks that can be used to play a variety of games. They are similar to dice or playing cards in that they can be used to make combinations that result in different outcomes. Dominoes are usually made of wood or another rigid material, and they have a number of spots, called pips, on each end. Each pips corresponds to one of six numbers, so a traditional set contains pieces with all possible combinations of spots. Some sets include more than one hundred dominoes.
The word domino comes from a Latin word meaning “heavy.” It may refer to the weight of the piece or its shape, but it’s more likely to reference a series of events that create an effect. For example, if someone cuts off the flow of money to a region, the economic decline can continue and create a domino effect that’s difficult to stop.
When Hevesh starts a new domino display, she tests each section individually. This allows her to see if it works correctly and make corrections before putting the whole arrangement together. She then builds up the biggest 3-D sections first, followed by flat arrangements and finally lines of dominoes that connect all the sections.
Hevesh believes that if you want to build mind-blowing displays, you need to have a good understanding of how the dominoes work together. You need to know how much push or pull each domino needs to fall over, and how the pieces fit together.
Having a clear understanding of the mechanics of dominoes helps you create designs that can stand up to the test of time. You also need to understand the importance of pacing. Whether it’s a game of dominoes or an effective story, scenes need to be spaced correctly so that the chain reaction flows smoothly and builds to the climax.
Hevesh’s creativity and engineering skills help her to design domino displays that can stand up to the test of time. They’re not only beautiful, but they can also inspire people to try something new and take risks in their lives. This is what makes them so powerful, and it’s the kind of impact that businesses and leaders should aim for. The best way to do that is by listening to customers and employees, which is what Domino’s CEO Brandon Doyle has been doing since he took over the company. He’s stayed true to the company’s core values and encouraged his team to listen to their customers, and it seems like the strategy is working!
