...Nacho Ormaechea Background of the photographer: Nacho Ormaechea is an Artist and Spanish Graphic Designer who’s been working in Paris since 2001. He explores the narrative of his subjects and himself through a digital composite of photography and graphic montage. He mixes the principles of both fields to drive his camera. Every piece is a new concept as the unknown individual reflects a new message to Nacho. It is all a bit of technique and improvisation. It is all a little of today and a lot of yesterday. He has collaborated with several cultural organizations and important French and foreign institutions. He says: ‘My days, and I guess some of yours too, are full of overflowing information invading my computer: clients mails, briefs, social-networking and too much visual material meant to "nourish our inspiration". Sometimes we feel we just need to stop, take a deep breath and think. Looking for creative freedom without specifications or deadlines or budgets, only a strong desire to create for the need to express. Each picture comes from a feeling, an idea that aims at provoking a reaction within the spectator's mind. This reaction is likely to be different from my own, nourishing itself from different backgrounds and personal stories. My characters, anonymous people from the street, are mirrors reflecting my state of mind as well as yours.’ Exhibitions (In Paris) Académie des Beaux-arts, Paris - Ambassade de Colombie - Paris, Ambassade d’Espagne - Paris - Ambassade...

...November 27,2012 Brian Kuczynsky Marketing Plan Letter Business 243 Working in a group with only two people can be difficult as the workload is effectively twice that of a four person group. However, I feel like Cheyann and I did a good job of dividing and completing the assigned tasks. I ended up researching the history of the company and summarized it. This helped me to write the executive summary and the current situation sections. Then I examined the specific market that our company targets and used what I found to write the target market section. I also looked at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the company. Those I then translated into internal and external opportunities and presented with bullet points. Using the information I gathered along with the work done by Cheyann, we decided on the marketing objectives we were going to try. I went on to summarize these objectives and the plans that went along with them. I also wrote out our action plan that we would implement to meet those objectives. I do not really remember or even know what it was that Cheyann did. However, I know that she did a lot of work, and then she did even more over the thanksgiving break. Therefore, I estimate that she completed 55 to 60 percent of the work, leaving me to complete the rest. -Brian November 27, 2012 Cheyann Wittmann Marketing Plan Letter Buiness 243 The marketing plan has been a very interesting experience...

...Meet the team Whirlpool’s Global Consumer Design unit has a staff of over 150 people. This function has quadrupled in size over the last four years and expanded its capabilities to include interaction design and an enhanced usability function that includes staff with expertise in ethnography and anthropology. These functions were added in response to the design demands placed by increasingly sophisticated and complex appliances, together with the desire to engineer core product platforms to suit the widest possible range of brands and markets. The Global Consumer Design function is represented in the US Mexico, Europe, India and China. Most of the organisation’s designers operate in brand studios, with 14 major brands and 30 sub-brands supported in this way. Brand studios are responsible for taking the company’s core product platforms, which contain the majority of the product engineering and functionality, and modifying them to suit the language of each individual brand and the specific requirements of its customers.

...A competitive advantage is the result of matching core competencies to opportunities. In order to gain competitive advantages, a company should provide their customers products / services of same value with lower price or charging premium prices by providing higher value, which can be done by differentiation (Anon., n.d.). The competitive advantages that Apple have compared to their competitors are the user-friendly interface, first mover advantages, attractive designs, innovative features, and a prestigious brand image. In addition, Apple also has full control over all aspects of their computers including both software and hardware. According to Ferguson (2010) the major competitive advantages of apple is their marketing techniques. Being the first mover in the industry, Apple is able to capture most of the market and build a strong brand image. With the high quality products that they deliver, they have successfully formed people’s perception that a good product should be fairly similar to an Apple product. When such perception has been formed, it will be harder for competitors to penetrate the market. These first mover advantages are the result of their continuous innovations. For instance, they are the first company who produce a computer with stylish design that has no visible bolts. Furthermore, the products that they deliver are always user-friendly and this enables them to capture a larger market that includes non-proficient computer users. As a result of their...

...Review Superbrands TV Show – “Fashion” Reviewing the Superbrands TV Show about Fashion made me know about how a brand influences to our brain even just by hearing the brand name and how important the brand name for the public nowadays. People nowadays is more aware to the expensive brand and preferring to wear T-Shirts, Glasses, and etc. just because of the brand name influences in their daily life and how they get so deeply into our minds. At the beginning of the show, they show some kids that are prefer a T-Shirt just by looking at the logo. They were given the same four T-Shirts with four different logos, and surprisingly all of the kids picked the familiar T-Shirt logo, which is the “Nike” logo, just by looking at the T-Shirts. The reason why they picked that is because they feel familiar with the logo and some prestige feeling by thinking of wearing the T-Shirt. They were visited a factory which is the biggest glasses factory that surprisingly produce some of well-known brand such as Chanel, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Miu Miu, Raybean, and others. The first thing that comes to my mind is how can a customer prefer Chanel sunglasses than Raybean sunglasses while they are actually came from the same factory with using the same materials? How is the price is so different and yet we are still prefer for Chanel? By watching this, I understand that the influences of a brand name and the prestige feeling of using the expensive brand are affecting our buying behavior. They were also...

...APPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY Appl. Cognit. Psychol. 20: 1181–1194 (2006) Published online 6 July 2006 in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/acp.1257 Brand Logo and Name Association: It’s all in the Name HEATHER BUTTLE1* and NIKKI WESTOBY2 1 2 Massey University, New Zealand University of Wales, Bangor, UK SUMMARY Despite the expense of designing and the popularity of using logos to represent brands, there is a paucity of information on how such symbols are processed. This series of experiments used Repetition Blindness (RB) to measure implicit association of logos and names that varied in (1) the abstractness of the logo, and (2) the level of familiarity with the logo. RB is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when two items, presented in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), are encoded along repeated dimensions (e.g. visual, phonological, semantic) resulting in only one item being perceived (Bavelier, 1994; Buttle, Ball, Zhang, & Raymond, 2005; Kanwisher, 1987). Phonological RB was revealed for both abstract and figurative logos and occurred regardless of familiarity. The results suggest that as long as a consumer has the opportunity to be exposed to the name of a logo then logo-name association learning is a rapid process. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Companies use logos to convey the unique identity of their products, services, or organizations. A great deal of effort is expended on creating a logo so that it succeeds...

...The most common art forms artists and writers utilize to express their ideas and creativity are fine arts, novels, and films. They are widely accepted and pedestrian. All three have renowned awards ceremonies for the best in their field, displays in galleries and museums, recognition in the news through the media, and have classes teaching or analyzing them in schools. Against traditional media that have already achieved international public acceptance, a relatively new, and different art form like comics, does not stand a chance in gaining the respect it deserves. However, there are some people who have tried to build a reputation for comics and help others better understand them. Scott McCloud’s work Understanding Comics is his audacious attempt to address and overcome the general public’s ignorance about comics. However, the various characteristics of his book such as the comic book format, dialogue, and tone prove to effectively convey the definition and understanding of comics to a younger audience such as teenagers and college students rather than older adults, the parents and grandparents of the younger audience. If only certain groups of people are likely to accept McCloud’s method, then his intentions of establishing a better reputation for comics have failed. At first it may seem that creating a book enlightening the reader about comics in the comic book format is an exceedingly clever method. If the reader could easily comprehend what McCloud was trying to say about...

It is a pillar on which every relationship is balanced. Relationships are never stable, but communication has the ability heal every wound. Majority of Jhumpa Lahiri’s work is based on the importance of communication and relationships. Her stories are influenced by relationship problems, and the ups and downs one faces in maintaining relationships. Most of the characters, in her stories have been facing a difficulty in communicating their feelings to the opposite character.

When communicating the basic of listening and responding to the needs or desires of the person communicating. Effective communication should be the standard of care in the medical field. It is very important that the care giver and the patient that both use communication to understand the needs of the patient and to insure the quality of care are at a higher level. Effective communication in the medical field is different than any other communication because we are dealing with lives that can be affected by not understanding what was being said or asked. Medical communication needs to continue to grow to be able to bring a higher level of care, adjustments will always need to be made to be able to serve all the different issues that arise in the medical profession. “Theories about patient satisfaction are relevant to how patients perceive communication with healthcare providers and often directly relate to specific patient characteristics, none fits perfectly as an explanation for these findings about communication. While patient preferences for care and unmet expectations clearly influence perceptions about healthcare interactions, other factors may influence the patient–provider encounter more directly,” (Devoe, Wallace...
