By exploring the concept of image curation, this article presents a proposal for the applicability of image curation in the development of Projects of Design, exploring the role of visual curation as a contribution to the development of interfaces between academia and business. Due to the amount of data present in digital culture, content curation is an increasingly important activity in project development. In higher-education design formation, image curation allows safeguarding the project literacy on the one hand, through the definition and clarification of an organization of visual elements and defining a basis for dialogue on the projective possibilities. The proposed strategy for visual curation offers the possibility of being applied as a basis of dialogue with external stakeholders. Moreover, thus, in a context of learning in design, enabling another bridge between the Academy and the corporate fabric.

This article aims to propose a strategy for narrative development, for photo/ image sharing social tools. By generating scenarios for product assessment through comparing consumption narratives as a contribution to the creation of new communication strategies. Developing as hypothesis that the development of narratives from a brand and its consequent comparison with consumers feedback, allows a more reliable way to generate inputs for the development of more effective communication strategies. The article follows an exploratory study methodology intended “to develop pertinent hypotheses and propositions for further inquiry. The article draws on a qualitative proposal of a method to apply in narratives of consumption. The results of the proposed strategy open avenues for narratives developments, where the consumers contribution receive expansion values from the brands strategy, returning value to first consumer feedbacks. The implications of this study are the creation of a paradigm of curatorship as authorship. The research limitations/ implications address the speculative scope of the proposed strategy and the need for more empirical work in the subject.
