Comparative Advertising
I recently came across the ad below. It’s an example of a classic comparative advertising where one brand attacks another. This particular ad caught my attention because the players seemed to have switched position from just a few years ago. This time, Nissan attacks Hyundai. Why is this interesting?

Understanding your clients
Hardest thing about being a designer is not the designing itself, it’s understanding clients. We all have dealt with indecisive clients who don’t seem to know what they want and change their mind all the time. There are times when approvals or design sign-offs seem to have no effect at all. Most designers don’t have a clue why certain clients act this way and conclude that clients are insane. Designers become frustrated and switch from creative to “just-get-the-shit-done” mode. This happens all the time whether they realize it or not. And most clients end up with work done in the latter mode. This isn’t cool nor healthy for either parties. And since we can’t and shouldn’t expect clients to change their way of thinking, we should look at the matter in a slightly different angle. I’ve discovered that by looking at how we (designers) do things, we may be able to understand why they (clients) behave the way they do. Read More
You won’t find me on Facebook
Why don’t I own a Facebook account?
Because I don’t want my life, relationships, likes or dislikes, interests, buying habits, thoughts or goals in life to be monetized by a corporation. Especially by a corporation run by a kid who doesn’t value personal privacy except his own.
I don’t want to agree to a Terms of Service that is totally one sided.

Color correcting digital photos using Photoshop
No one and no camera’s auto AE program gets perfect exposure every time. In the film days, photographers were able to compensate for this imperfection in the development lab. During the film developing and print process, dodging, burning, and exposure duration can be used in combination to tweak the print. In digital, we don’t have development process. So it’s perfectly okay not to feel guilty using Photoshop to color correct your photos. Everyone, even pros use some digital manipulation (even when they don’t admit to it). Read More
Inside your SLR
Meet “Esellar”, a reborn Nikon N75 film SLR. No, it doesn’t talk, move, or take pictures. It doesn’t do anything. Why did I cannibalize a perfectly good camera to create this hideous looking thing if it doesn’t do anything? Well, the Nikon N75 didn’t do anything either. It was sitting on the shelf collecting dust. And the camera in its previous form really wasn’t anything to blog about either. But here it is the one and only “Esellar”.

Dyson Ball Marketing
This is a clip from one of the TV ads for Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner. You can see a women is vacuuming around what looks like a cushion or a bean bag to show you how the Dyson Ball handles curves. I don’t know about you, but I’d pick that thing up and move it rather than vacuuming around it.
