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......

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.

Science of Sleep - Lessons of Royce

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP (From Royce's Footnotes) I have had the fruitful opportunity to receive a lecture on the technicalities of sleep, sponsored by my company, Tropicana Corporation Berhad. The speaker is also known as a sleep doctor, or sleep specialist, which can also be your GP or Ear, Nose & Throat specialist. There is also the American Board of Sleep Medicine - http://absm.org/  to understand a collective of Sleep scholars.

Selling "Toxic Masculinity" in Branding

With the way people are responding to the latest Gillette ad, anyone would think “toxic masculinity” was a new term coined to shame men.   Gillette isn’t the first men’s brand to redefine its image, a process that actually started months before  the world went crazy this week over the shaving company’s new ad . from news.com.au  - ( https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/for-men/why-mens-brands-tackling-toxic-masculinity-is-nothing-new/news-story/5ffadfa7859513b18883a2b09cc46f20 ) Coming from the perspective of Advertising & Branding, one of the basics in profiling your target market in a creative brief, is to define their demographic points to make assumptions.
