Newsflash

Hi and thank you for visiting. I'm doing a redesign and update on my website. I hope to have all my previous content as well as lots of new content up on my site soon. If you have any questions or would like to see a particular application to see if it would fit with your requirements please drop me a note and let me know.

Thanks and have a great day!

Alison

NB: Oh come on - who am I kidding - I'm a designer, it will never be "finished" as I'm always newly inspired by something I've seen or a new application I've found or skill I've learned. If you don't keep learning you might as well roll over right!

Responsible Advertising and Housing! PDF Print E-mail

This is a brilliant commentary on Advertising by Leo Laport and also Jay Shafer of Tumbleweed Tiny Houses on big houses and the advantages of small houses.

 

This quote from Edward Bernays really brings home the fact of how long we have been played.

"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain point and within certain limits."

He called this scientific technique of opinion-molding the 'engineering of consent'.

I don't know about you but I'm really tired of it! In fact I have taken to emailing companies to comment on their advertising. To compliment them when they are using their "Authentic Voices" to communicate with me the consumer.

You can read more about Edward Bernays (I suggest it) here at Wiki.

As Leo so eloquently said and what has sparked a fire in my belly today is, "When information flows freely and we are able to have conversations. The best of us (might I add the best in us) rises to the top!"
