The video is part of a larger Goodby campaign for AIDES with the tagline "Protect yourself" that includes comic strips, Web sites, print and outdoor. I see a rising star here in Smutley, who, the video reminds us, has nine lives to our one, so he can afford to throw caution to the wind.

Tablets Are Just Fad

It will be interesting to see how the tablets will develop in the coming years and how people will welcome them to the markets. This time around, they’re no more functional than a good smartphone­, but too big to fit in your pocket.  They’re less functional than a netbook or a laptop, but not so much smaller that they’re really any easier to carry around.

While it’s interesting to follow what Fukuyama writes, he has a tendency to express whatever the current consensus is quite well but without much real critical ability. China is growing.

Nokia + Microsoft

It will be truly interesting to see how the phone wars will develop in the coming years and who will take the position to actually challenge apple. I’m eager to see how the collaboration between Nokia and Microsoft will turn out.

The Asymmetrical Online War

John Perry Barlow has rather strong views on this. He has said that nations have no authority over the Internet and has compared hackers to “electronic Hezbollah” - in a favorable way. Apparently he also used his Twitter account to praise Anonymous, which attacked several large U.S. companies. When he says “One very smart person can take on an entire nation state,” it’s probably worth asking whether he actually favors this …

Welcome to the Future of Advertising

We know that traditional methods haven’t flatlined, but they can’t exist on their own anymore. Brands can’t demand attention simply by buying the biggest billboard or putting an ad into the best magazines. There has to be more than that.

In the frame: The art and artistry of the bicycle

The Brits used to have a cycling culture. But then they allowed other things to get in the way of it for “progress”. Bit of a sad loss if you ask me, but its reversing again, people are slowly seeing what cycling can bring them.

Turning point for Gap as 200 stores close worldwide

A well-written piece but the problem for many UK or Global high street retailers is that they just don’t get what consumers really want… They waste millions that they’ve recouped in cheap labour on abysmal marketing and positioning campaigns that most University grads could do a better job on.

Autumn/Winter - The season that was

Well presented article to give a snapshot of the frenzy of the past season. Great observation about the street style photography, it in an evolution that caters to the voyeuristic side in all of us… but very unfortunate that the subjects now feel hunted.

Reflection Week 9

This week was really busy. We meet up on Monday to work on the project. We were busy with the report and the presentation. We had to finalize the result, analyze and make a good story of it. On Thursday we had an exam from Trends: history and future. After the exam we had to present our presentation and report to our tutor. He gave us good feedback were we could work on. After the tutor meeting we divided the tasks. We are going to meet up at week 10 to finish up the project and make a presentation. We have to adjust the template of our presentation.

Our blog was really missing a lot of information. We divided the tasks to complete the blog. We want to finish the blog on Monday. In the weekends it is all individual work. Everyone have to finish their own blog post. 

[coolsigns-blog]

Reflection Week 8

This week was the first week we didn’t have any classes. From now till week 10 is our opportunity to work deeply in the project and finalize the project. The in-depth interview was finally done. We analyzed the in-depth interview and started to work on the report. We still had a lot of work to do. In week 9 we have an appointment with our tutor to present our presentation and report.

We had a lot of work to do with our blog. We missed a lot of articles and coolhunts. This week the blog was updated with all of the information we missed. The articles and coolhunts will come in week 9 or 10. It is only two weeks left to finish our project and blog. We also have to study for an exam for in week 9.

[coolsigns-blog]

Reflection Week 7

This period is almost over. This week is our last week with classes. The next two weeks is to finalize our project, blog, prepare for exams, making an essay and a design book. We had to present our final presentation of Methodology, which was about the last six weeks of topics. Each team received feedback after the presentation about their presentation and the blog.

Our blog wasn’t complete yet and we knew that we have to add more blog post. We got pretty good feedback about our presentation. One downside was that the presentation was too long. We already scrapped a lot of information but it was still to long. For the project we analyze a part of the in-depth interview because we did couple interview.

For the trends we made a trend pyramid and out of research we chose three trends to work it out with the in-depth interview.

[coolsigns-blog]

Reflection Week 6

This week we had a busy week. We had to present our weekly presentation for Methodology and we had to present couple concept for Concept & Development.

This week we also finalize the field research and the conclusion of the field research was that we have to do couple in-depth interview to understand our target group more. We started with making a new topic list for the in-depth interview. Our planning is to analyze the result in week 7 and 8 and finalize in week 8. For the trends we found three extra megatrends what we wanted to research. The three megatrends are: Digitalization, Urbanization and Express yourself.

The lesson of Concept & Development was really interesting. It was something different than what we are doing for every class. We had to present our first/beta version of our concept. These were all in the thinking process. We have to work it out more if we want to use the concept.
