Q1. why do images, pictures, art have a powerful impact on us?
Q2. why is the modern world dominated by unrealistic images of the body?
- mostly to individual thinking and feeling
- no one actually looks like this, thats why it looks more interesting
- they exaggerate parts that they think is important and ignore parts that are less important and common, eg. woman - breast, butt and etc
while, the face features are no much different from a man ones (key features that register in a brain)
- by exaggerating it, it struck people's attention and giving people space to think of why is it so
- human beings don't like the realistic world (like imaginary world)
- there are still unrealistic images in a realistic images, because they are too perfect in a way that is different from the realistic world
- human beings are not perfect, so they create the perfect or unrealistic images through what they think and desire of a human body should be like
- egyptians show in its clearest angle, eg. finger in the same size, eye facing to the side, everything in order using grid
- they preserve it because of the culture and their hard way of living
- everyone desire to have a perfect body of an athlete
- some may thought it only exist in the earlier human
- realistic images can be seen almost everywhere, so its boring, thats why people exaggerate and distort to make it more interesting and more human than a human

short narrative

agfa waterproof camera - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3kvOXs0x_k

This is a very interesting commercial which uses humor to attract audience's attention. In a commercial, humor will always spice and attracts people's attention. By using humor, it stands out itself from other related commercials.

In the first 5 second of the commercial, there are three ladies wearing bikini walking towards a nerdy look man. It creates interest to the audience wanting to watch it and find out more. ‘What can three ladies and one man do in the sea?’

After that, it starts to show the ladies trying to tease the nerd by taking off their bottom suit. And the nerd using that pervert look walking towards the ladies. Suddenly, the 'flash' sound appears and creates a turning point to the commercial. ‘What happened?’

The nerd is actually taking photos of them in the water using a waterproof camera. And at the end, they reinforce their central idea after showing the product which is the AGFA camera. It is not only waterproof, the photos taken are also very clear. This is shown by the shy expression of the nerd looking at the photos at the end of the commercial.

Therefore, i think that this commercial is effective as the message is clear and understandable. But, the bad thing of this commercial that i think should be improve is that by showing this, it gives a bad impression to the female audience that with this camera, guys can take photos of them when they are swimming or playing in the water. In this case, female audience will feel insecure every time they go to play in the beach.

short narrative
question: among the commercials you have picked & analyzed the spin,
choose 2 that you think are most effective:
1. define the target audience
2. describe how the spin was treated such that it becomes effective using
models/ideas (eg. color mood board, various contrasts, genre, sound, etc)

1. Honda car commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFTduBCb7Eo

1. target audience: 20-40 years old male
those who wants to buy a car that is flawless and precise
2. they use the pure sound of the equipment (like the nails)
thus, audience will understand better about the quality of the equipment used
and the whole thing is plot in the way that everything links very well together
the way they shoot also allows the audience to follow through
therefore, make this commercial effective

2. Brazilian Toyota car advertisement - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=039nIHC-_N0

1. target audience: 30-50 years old family man
those who wants to buy a car that is durable and does not break down easily
2. they use - the beginning (to create interest to the audience)
the middle (a turning point - where the guy drove off)
the end (resolution - have you seen a broken down Toyota?)
the music also creates impact (the two different audio and the sound effects used)
and the way they shoot (the angle and the focusing) have also help this commercial becomes effective

advertising concept

question: pick one of your logo design sketch and develop detailed design variations in illustrator
play with the scale, placement, orientation, font, etc
final logo to be uploaded onto your blog site with a write up about your logo design

the logo is designed based on the combination of the word 'Adidas' and the 3-stripe
as
people will think of Adidas, when they heard the 3-stripe
-the brand with the 3 stripes-

i have chosen the 2nd modified version
the 'A' = Adidas - a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport all over the world
the 3-stripe = performance and the future of the Adidas branding identity
= one of the most recognizable trademarks in the world - Adidas trademark
the logo is simple, clear and easy to recognize

2007-10-29T01:12:00.000-07:00

advertising concept
1. Burger King logo
In 1969, Burger King established its famous Burger King “bun halves” logo that lasted till early 1990s. It was created to signify the eatery’s association with hamburgers. The earlier version of Burger King logo featured the name “Burger King” in orange placed in-between two ochre semi-circular buns. By 1994, Burger King modernized its old Burger King logo by giving it a smoother typeface with rounded edge. This graphical tightening of the font replaced the obsolete “bulging” font to suit the advertising needs. Again in 1999, Burger King modified the Burger King logo that is a revised version of the original Burger King logo. The color of the restaurant’s name in the new Burger King logo was changed from ochre to orange. A blue swirl was added in the new Burger King logo which wrapped the burger, giving the Burger King logo a circular appearance. The new Burger King logo also tilts the bun halves and the font on an axis making it contemporary and at the same time relevant.

2. Starbucks logo
The Starbucks logo shows a green band with 2 stars and a crowned Siren in the center of the logo. It is strange but attractive and very well recognized.
The band of Starbucks logo and the stars comes from Il Giornarle logo and the Siren comes from original logo of Starbucks.
Evolution of new redesigned Starbucks logo
Some years back, Micheal Parent, a student of marketing management and a graphic designer, noticed that females felt uncomfortable while holding and being around Starbucks items. This intrigued him to conduct a study.
Micheal surveyed different locations of Starbuck’s outlets and spent time there, sometimes conducting interviews and rest of the time carefully observing the customer behavior pattern. Conclusions that were drawn from his survey were that the Starbucks logo needed an improvement.
He redesigned the Starbucks logo and tested it effectiveness. The new redesigned logo of Starbuck was liked by people especially females which meant that Starbuck’s income could increase many fold with the inflow on female customers.
Micheal Parent sent his newly designed Starbuck’s logo to the president of the Company along with his findings and Starbuck got their new logo with green band, which we see today.

3. Microsoft logo

Founded in 1975, Microsoft Inc. is ‘the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential’. The company is famous for inventing and offering innovative products such as Windows, Office, Xbox, etc., that truly symbolize advanced technology. Even its logo, is a physical manifestation of the company’s technological pursuits.
Microsoft logo is a perfect example of ‘innovation meets simplicity’. The logo intelligently expresses the company’s mission of providing quality products to the customers with its strong slogan and simple typeface. The Microsoft logo like the company has become synonymous with latest computer technologies, innovative ideas and the comprehensive development of both. The logo consists of a simple typeface with an equally powerful slogan symbolizing potential and passion. Though the Microsoft logo was subjected to major critical transformations over the decades, its principal message has remained largely unaffected. At the beginning, Microsoft adopted the so-called “blibbet” logo that was green with a fanciful lettered O in it. It was later discarded as the company’s trademark in 1994, when Microsoft adopted the more compact version of the current logo with the tagline: “Where do you want to go today?”. In 2002, inspired by the previous design, Microsoft started using the new Microsoft logo in the United States and eventually worldwide. It now features the slogan: “Your potential. Our passion”, which echoes a strong voice of consumer satisfaction and the brand’s fidelity.

4. Yahoo logoFrom the beginning, the company’s mission is ‘to connect people to their passions, their communities, and the world’s knowledge’, but the real success of Yahoo! was largely based on the marketing strategy of the company and the branding of its identity (logo). In the overall success of a business, logos play an important role in the corporate world. They become the identity of a company when the business expands and thus generates the general perception about the company. When Yahoo became a corporation in 1995, they kept the similar idea in their mind before finalizing their logo. For them, the Yahoo logo was a mean to express the company’s mission and idea to the general public. That’s why the chosen word ‘Yahoo’ in the Yahoo logo is an acronym for ‘Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle’. But according to Filo and Yang, they selected the name because they liked the general definition of ‘yahoo’: rude, unsophisticated, and uncouth. For the color scheme of the Yahoo logo, they went for a safer approach with a red colored theme which complimented the yahoo’s definition.
Although still used today to some of its features, theYahoo logo has now been revamped into a purple colored icon with variations that include white logo and Y! Bang logo.

5. Nokia logoThe Nokia logo, like the company, is synonymous with mobile technology, high-tech gadgets and new ways to communicate and explore.
So when it came to designing their logo, Nokia Co. made every effort to make its logo represent the company’s mission. And thus, the infamous ‘Nokia Connecting People’ logo came into being.
What’s in a Slogan?

The Nokia logo consists of a very burly slogan that gives the brand a truly strong position in the telecommunication industry. The slogan cleverly expresses the company’s mission, which is to connect people without barrier and distance. This has made the Nokia logo stand out from the rest.

advertising concept - rebranding adidas
-new identity based on research
-roughs initial logo designs
-underlying philosophy
-rough idea of use - where & how

mind map

logo design

all these logos are designed based on using
-the word adidas, the 3-stripe, the number 3 & the letter 'A'
the logos that are colored in purple are the ones that i think has more meaning
& is more interesting
purple means passion
-logo 2 is designed based on the combination of the 3-stripe & the number 3
-logo 11 is designed by using the 3-stripe to form the letter 'A'
the letter 'A' resembles a runner's leg
-logo 19 is designed by using the 3-stripe to form the letter 'A'
but when you look closely, there is actually 3As in different angles

these logos can be placed on shoes, jackets & etc
but to make it more recognize,
i think that the logo can be placed on mrt, bus stop, in tv commercials & etc

thursday, october 18 2007

spin: to let the readers that their skills are proven
-Haircare 101: it uses 'visible results as seen on TV!'
therefore
readers who had seen the program would have saw the visible results testified by their satisfied customers
thus
readers will trust it more than other similar advertisements
as
what can be better than having yourself seeing the results

as some readers may think that if that famous actor is their spokesperson and also client
= good

-singtel advertisement: i think that their advertisement caught my eyes with their graphics made
it is very nice and interesting
with just a shake, you can get to the previous or the next song

weekend today
sunday, october 21 2007

spin: poh heng provides women secure
-poh heng advertisement: it uses interesting graphics to attract reader's attention
like by making their 'itrustme' jewelery to be over a lady model's waist
and 'nothing is quite as precious as trust'

spin: to tell the readers that they are trustable
-london weight management advertisement: it uses real life examples
and 'we guarantee you 4-16 cm off or more in 1 session'
and it will thus gain reader's trust in them

spin: to tell the readers that new york skin solutions helps you to regain your good looks and skin
-new york skin solutions advertisement: it uses 'face the world beautifully'
having skin problems = no good looks
= no good skin
therefore,
with new york skin solutions = hope
and 'visible results guaranteed in just 1 session'

similarities: i never put in much advertisements because i think that almost all the advertisements are similar
and some advertisements on the above are not much of a spin
but it is a way they use to attract readers
they uses = gain reader's trust
= show real life example
= give knowledge
= give survey
= show that they have experts there
= show that they are good
= comparison
= give comments by others
= actor or actress as spokesperson
= quote
= reasoning
and the most important factor is that
they know the weakness of the readers
which is the kiasu-ness in them
no discount
no offer
no benefits
no gifts
= NO TALK
and that is why they can interest so many readers

i think that to interest readers: 1. the advertisement size is important (the bigger it is, the more the readers will notice it)
2. their design and layout (as for me, i see the picture first than the words)
3. their quote and wordings (how interesting is their content, will it leave a impression in the reader)
4. the color (if the advertisement is in color, it will eventually attract reader's attention in a black and white newspaper)
but most importantly,
i think that if their brand are popular, readers will eventually notice them
as nowadays people go for the brand

next, is there a difference in how the newspaper handle weekdays' papers vs friday-sunday papers
describe how are they different

i think the difference is that: 1. weekends' paper is thicker
2. weekends' paper is 10 cents more expensive
3. weekends' paper has more advertisements
4. weekends' paper advertisements are bigger in size
5. today has advertisements only at the front but not at the back few pages
6. weekends' paper advertisements are more of the same company's advertisement
but they occupy more than a page

short narrative
question: go through different car commercials,
analyze them from the perspective you have just gained through the lesson.
blog your analysis down for 5 different car manufacturers on how they approach branding.
paste the embedded code in your blog.

1. toyota - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j3zvy-KAU0

spin: to tell the audience that this car is one of the rare one that you must get it
analysis: i think that this commercial will works well
WHY?
-as it uses a funny way to express itself
-so as to interest and attract people's attention to see the commercial
THUS,
-they might buy it if they liked it after seeing it
-the female and the male are actually a loving couple
BUT,
-because of the toyota car they tried in all means to get the car first before the other actually gets it
AND THAT RESULTS,
-something like a competition going on between
FEMALE VS MALE
-and that gives the audience the interest to keep watching till the end
of the commercial to find out who is the winner
-i think that the commercial is trying to tell us that
toyota car is something that will make you get crazy over
and something that u must get no matter what factor
-this factor can even be your lovers, family and etc
in one sentence
-i think that they are trying to tell us
'NOTHING CAN STOP YOU FROM GETTING TOYOTA'

2. honda - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFTduBCb7Eo

spin: to tell the audience that the car is flawless and precise
analysis: -they allow the audience to take a closer look
at all the equipments and functions of the car
WHY?
-so the audience can have a clearer picture of the car and their functions
AS A RESULT,
-i think it will works well
-giving the audience a better concept about it
-the commercial looks very technically and skilled with all the stuffs going on
TO SHOW
-that the car is well-planned with all the best functions in it
-and it gives a question mark to the audience in the beginning
wondering what is all about
-that gives the audience the curiosity to look further and figure it out
-i think that the commercial is trying to sell the functions of the car
and trying to tell everyone
in one sentence
'IT JUST WORKS WITH ONE TOUCH'

3. nissan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOS5BaxCtAk

spin: to tell the audience that having this car, you will overcome all obstacles
analysis: -this commercial is made in a very animated way
whereby everyone sees it will be like
WOW.. STYLE..
AS A RESULT,
-it will work pretty well
-they are trying to show that the car can actually
travel everywhere even in the rocky road or in the water
-no matter where it goes,
it can travels smoothly
-the car will always change its application to your needs
-it also uses showing the function of the car way to show the audience about the car
BUT,
-the difference is that it focus only in one part
-which is more on the smoothness it goes, the wheel part
-i think that the commercial is trying to tell the audience that
the car can actually travel anywhere and everywhere
AND,
it can travel better and smoother than any other
THEREFORE,
in one sentence
-i think that this commercial is trying to tell us that
'NOTHING CAN STOP NISSAN FROM TRAVELING'

4. brazilian toyota - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=039nIHC-_N0

spin: to tell the audience that that car is durable
analysis: -this is also an interesting commercial which shows

a trap which is made by a guy dressing up as a lady to attract the passerby
-it create interest in the audience at the beginning
when the lady is wearing so hot standing there with a broken car
-then at the middle,
it has a turning point
-whereby when the passerby actually turns and drove pass the lady without helping
-at the end
-the audience will then know that it is actually a trap
OH..
THEREFORE,
-they will then give u the answer to your question
why is it a trap?
-and highlighted the main aim of this commercial
THAT,
toyota is strong
in one sentence
'NOTHING WILL CAUSE TOYOTA TO BREAK DOWN'

5. citroen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4ckJFNkra8

spin: to tell the audience that the car will increase your standard of living
analysis: -this is a very COOL commercial
-which i think will work well
AS,
-nowadays people follow trends
-what's the hottest and what's the coolest they will buy it
to make them look fashionable and cool
-audience will gain the interest and curiosity wanting to know more about it
-it looks like their target audience is more towards the teenagers
-as teenagers will tend to follow trends faster
-i think that this commercial is trying to show that with technology now
nothing is impossible
SO,
be in the trend and be cool
THEREFORE,
in one sentence
'BE ALIVE WITH TECHNOLOGY'

finally in a single paragraph,
write down what you think of consumerism towards the automobile is like in singapore.
i think that basically singaporeans will look for the brand that they prefer first before looking at their models. the brand is quite important now, as people usually go for the brand instead of the quality. whereas, some people will just buy that particular brand to show off to the others that they are cool. secondly, they will consider the price of it. whether is it worth it, is it pay by installment, does it have discount and etc. the last factors that they will consider are the comfortability, the space, the functions and etc. commercials in television will also attract singaporeans and making them notice of that particular brand or that particular model of car.

my work for typography class today

2007-10-16T08:33:00.000-07:00

typography

-the art of letter arrangement
choosing the right type
-legibility - could it be seen or read?
-appropriateness - could it express the right feeling across?
type is important because it's an unconscious persuader
-it attracts attention, sets the style and tone of a document, colors how readers interpret the words, and defines the feeling of the page or screen

the homeless woman

a woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for a couple of dollars for dinner
the woman took out her billfold
extracted ten dollars and asked
“if i give you this money
will you buy some chocolate with it instead of dinner”
“no”
i had to stop chocolate years ago
the homeless woman replied
“will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food”
the woman asked
“no”
i don’t waste time shopping
the homeless woman said
“i need to spend all my time trying to stay alive”
will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food”
the woman asked
“are you NUTS”
replied the homeless woman
“i haven’t had my hair done in 20 years”
“well”
said the woman
“i’m not going to give you the money
instead
i’m going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight”
the homeless woman was astounded
“won’t your hubby be furious with you for doing that
i know i’m dirty
and i probably smell pretty disgusting”
the woman replied
“that’s okay
it’s important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping
hair appointments
and chocolate”

changing gates [ joke of the day ]

at the airport for a business trip
i settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at gate 35
then i heard the voice on the public address system saying
“we apologize for the inconvenience
but delta flight 570 will board from gate 41”
so my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to gate 41
not ten minutes later the public address voice told us that flight 570 would in fact be boarding from gate 35
so again we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate
just as we were settling down
the public address voice spoke again
“thank you for participating in delta’s physical fitness program”

a boy and a girl (stranger) may end up to be good friends
but when dating
they may not end up to be a good lover
even if they turn up to be a good lover
they may not end up to be a good husband and wife in future
