Whirlpool of Ideas


WHAT ToPic To Pick FOR HONOURS?

When it comes to picking a single idea for myself. I find it comparable to picking a single grain of sand out of a bowl of salt.

I think I shall employ a technique I use a lot. Which I call the "Brainsplatter" throwing all my thoughts out across the table and then coming back to edit them.

IDEA 1: The Counter-Trend.
research on all the past & coming advertising trends, then do a project based on the direct opposite of those trends; then measure the response. Is it true that every Action has a reaction? If so, then a trend would evoke the rise of a opposite trend- a counter-trend?

IDEA 2: Advertising in WEB 3.0
The future of the internet will be more than interactive. It would practically run our lives for us. How can one advertise to increasingly selective target audiences, granted the power to choose their media? Will advertising become a form of money? Read an advert, earn an item? Will QR Codes be the new tattoos?
(Idea spin off - Ad in virtual reality)

IDEA 3: Ad Zen
will the best, be the one with less? Minimalistic art direction and messages may be the way to go in the future. The age of information overload has taken over. Will the world prefer bite-size ads?

IDEA 4: Dirty. Sexy. Advertising.
What will the future boundaries of advertising be? With the Gen Z desensitized to sex and scandals, how do we sensationalize our content? Do people want boundaries pushed?


hmm......

OMGquestions!

What problem am I beginning from? My Problem is the trend of the Advertising industry in the future, will soon divide target markets into such small sections that eventually, it will become customized for each individual. I foresee an era of ads that are different for every person. I theorize that, just like the evolution of any species, when a species specializes too much, it breeds weakness. Therefore, I think that advertising will begin to divide communities and encourage selfish individualism. 2.What existing research in how to do this (methods/practice)? *After looking at some of the research methods available. I find I will begin from a sort of Poetic research and then nail down the project with action research. Since advertising is all about interacting with the community, this is the most appropriate method. 3.What existing research in the content area? *There are so much prior research in this area, I am still taking time to filter through this area. more research into the are...

It sounds remarkably like the application on Facebook where users get to 'sell' and 'buy' their friends like some form of digital black market trade.

The Evolving Urban City: Thriving Kuala Lumpur

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying. I am currently writing an article for Mah Sing which aims to explain their purpose behind developments in the outer suburbs or outskirts of Greater KL. Finally moving towards a nation with progressive planning, I am glad that the fabled Wawasan 2020 may have achieved its influence in the minds of Malaysians.
