What a unique way to bring people back to their childhood. Everyone had a rubber duck, why not make one that’s huge and throw it in Honk Kong’s Victoria Harbor. This is a great example of taking a long forgotten item of our past, and reviving by doing something drastically different.

Selling Experiences
George Eastman, the founder of Kodak had a great perspective on selling his product. Most of the times when we buy something, we are buying it for another reason and don’t even realize it. This is another great example of how we buy from the heart and not the head.

Buying on Emotion
We buy things and make choices based more on our irrational emotions than we do with our logical and rational thought process. Watch this video to learn more…

How important is your branding?
I do a short video on how import is your branding. This covers mainly corporate branding.
I will post more videos and get into more specific on the different categories of branding for products, websites and professional services.
Any questions or feedback, please let me know.
What is Branding?
This is a good video on Branding, but keep in mind, branding is not just for big companies. Branding and Design Strategy is for small and large companies and it’s not something that takes place later sometime down the road, as you grow you business. A brand should be established as soon as you come out of the gates and start your business. Brand communicates, connects and relates to peoples needs and desires. It differentiates your company from the rest of the pack, otherwise you’re just another Shoe Company, Food Producer, Realtor, Car Dealer, Lawyer and your nothing special.

Does color impact Brand?
Does your color choice impact your Brand?
HELL YES!
Now if I said, HELL YES! using a light Green, it would not have had the same impact that Red had. Why?…… In our current time and culture, we have adopted consciously and subconsciously that certain colors mean different things and evoke different emotions in all of us.
For instance, this shade of Red is commonly associated with the follow:
- Hot
- Love
- Devil
- Warning
- Harm
- and yes, HELL
Believe it or not, the color Red can even have a physical affect on someone. Studies have shown that the color Red can raise blood pressure and respiration rates.
Are you feeling it?
Here is a short article on how Colors Influence our Mood by Psych Digest
Even a different shades of a color can mean different things and evoke different emotions.
A great example is a client I had that was selling tactical flash lights to military personnel and cops.
On the Cop ad, they used this color for POLICE
Now if they used this color instead for POLICE, you can see that this color blue projects more of an impact and comes across as a authoritative figure, just like a Cop.
So when you are choosing colors for your next advertisement or brand, don’t underestimate the effect or lack of effect color can have on your message.
Olympic sponsors are taping over Urinals?
They are even covering up the logo of the company that makes the Urinals in preparation for the Olympic Games.
Are Olympic sponsors, like Visa and McDonalds, going to far, when they tape over every brand name, logo and any other graphic that is not an official Olympic Game sponsor.
The local retailers are starting to get annoyed. One local craft shop was even forced to remove a handmand knitted craft of the Olympic Rings. Have the Sponsors
Watch video here The Truth About The Branding Of The Games on Sky News
“At the 40 Olympics venues, 800 retailers have been banned from serving chips to avoid infringing fast-food rights secured by McDonald’s.”
Quoted from The Independent.
Olive Oil Package Design
Here is our latest draft for our client in New York, marketing Olive Oil. This design will go on a tin or glass bottle; we are hoping the client will go with a glass bottle, because we think that it will show better and it will also appeal to people who are health conscious and understand the dangers of BPA in aluminum.
This is far from final, but we wanted to show latest package design concept out there and hear any general feedback.
