Domino’s Pizza and Domino’s Pizza Design
Dominoes are those little plastic tiles that look so much like a regular playing card, except with a line in the middle to separate them visually into two squares, each bearing an arrangement of dots called pips. When a domino is set up, you can slide your finger along the line or edge of a domino to tip it ever-so-slightly so that the rest fall into place in a rhythmic cascade. Dominoes are also used in games of skill, in which the player places a domino edge-to-edge against another in order to form a specified total value of points.
Lily Hevesh, a professional domino artist and designer, creates mind-blowing installations that combine multiple lines of dominoes to form shapes like pyramids, hearts, icebergs and rainbow spirals. Hevesh has designed sets with up to 12,000 dominoes. She says the process is similar to the engineering-design process: she considers a theme or purpose, brainstorms images and words she might want to include, then draws arrows to show how she wants the pieces to fall.
In the case of her most recent creation, Hevesh used a total of about 12,000 dominoes to make a 15-color spiral. Dominos come in different colors and sizes, and each piece has its own unique characteristics that affect the way it moves when tipped. For example, a large domino is heavier and moves differently than a small one. Its weight and surface texture affect the force required to push it over, and the shape of the piece may help to control its movement.
Similarly, Domino’s pizza has its own distinct style. Whether it’s the pizza itself, the delivery vehicles or the Domino’s app, the company has an image that is uniquely its own. Domino’s leadership has a strong sense of brand identity and is known for its commitment to innovation.
Domino has a reputation for being both mercenary and maverick. She partnered with Milo Thurman in the NSA-funded Project Armageddon to genetically engineer a weaponized mutant, but the experiment was terminated after raids by A.I.M. forced the genius into deeper cover. Eventually, she joined the mercenary group the Wild Pack (later Six Pack) and fought alongside Cable when he was assigned to sabotage Rumekistan.
Domino’s leadership is often defined by its ability to “stand out.” Unlike some leaders, she prefers to use her powers for good rather than evil. She’s a skilled martial artist, weapons expert and linguist, as well as able to manipulate the laws of probability in her favor. In addition, she’s a brilliant strategist who can anticipate the actions of opponents and plan accordingly. Her abilities have led her to serve as the de facto leader of X-Force on several occasions.
