McDonalds to go green
With the crunch climate change summit in Copenhagen fast approaching, even McDonalds has decided to go green at least with its logo, a senior executive said on Monday.
At German branches of the US fast-food chain, the famous golden arches will be emblazoned on a green background, rather than its usual red, McDonalds Germany vice-president Holger Beeck said. The change will be made on all new and refitted restaurants "out of respect for the environment," Beeck told the Financial Times Deutschland.
The instantly recognisable logo is the world's sixth most valuable brand, according to a 2009 report by Interbrand consultancy, behind only Coca-cola, IBM, Microsoft, General Electric and Nokia. A study earlier this month showed that McDonalds was the most popular brand for Germans between the ages of 12 and 18.
The December 7-18 Copenhagen talks are aimed at agreeing an international pact to cut carbon emissions and providing money to poorer nations to transfer green technology and help them cope with the ravages of climate change.
McDonalds has in the past come under fire from environmental groups on several fronts, including its use of packaging and deforestation. However, environmental campaigners Greenpeace have also praised the company for efforts to be more environmentally friendly, including introducing refrigerators without harmful chlorofluorocarbons.

Hit The Bitch
A Danish public-service campaign is facing widespread criticism for attempting to raise awareness of domestic violence with an online video game called "Hit the Bitch." The deliberately provocative game lets players "beat" an image of woman by manipulating their mouses, earning extra points for "hitting" her extra-aggressively. It doesn't take an advertising genius to know that when you leave everybody confused you have totally...failed. But this ad has at least got people talking about the rather taboo subject of domestic violence. What do you think?

廣告101---凡事用心
「在現實世界的pitch，動聽的presentation非常重要。這次同學的習作不能用PowerPoint和任何道具，每一隊只能用一張A1 poster向天星小輪獻計，所以verbal presentation技巧和內容的編排最為重要。
Presentation 首要具說服力和吸引力。說服力在於presentation的內容言之有物、整體結構的連貫性、市場分析的獨特性、策略的創造力、演說者的演說技巧等；而吸引力是具創意的表達，不能單靠嘩眾取寵；真正吸引的演說能成功做到engage audience和stimulate interest兩方面。聽同學做presentations是一個長跑活動。有說服力和吸引力的presentations固然必要，但最後還是誠意、誠意和誠意。出色的東西不是單用眼看和用耳聽的，好的東西更是可以感覺到的。」

何止presentation,我認為每一個設計其實都適用以上條件.
我們的眼睛/腦袋其實就像一張a4 paper,放置的東西很有限,
由其是在這個設計上癮的年代,要記住一個設計,就非是最好的設計也不行.

Plans for Apple's iPods and iPhones to carry advertising
Apple could soon force users of its products including iPods and iPhones to listen to compulsory advertising.
A patent application filed in the United States suggests that the leading technology firm is considering introducing commercials in order to sell its products at a discounted price. Described in the application as "enforcement routine" software, it is believed the technology would force users to watch or listen to small adverts which they would be unable to skip past. The technology could also require users to answer questions about the adverts in order to ensure they have listened to and fully understood them. (Martin Evans)

The internet is killing storytelling | Ben Macintyre - Times Online
The internet is killing storytelling | Ben Macintyre - Times Online
The internet, while it communicates so much information so very effectively, does not really “do” narrative. The blog is a soap box, not a story. Facebook is a place for tell-tales perhaps, but not for telling tales. The long-form narrative still does sit easily on the screen, although the e-reader is slowly edging into the mainstream.
