I can see my project!

Finally I've found my glasses.

before this, I felt like I've been looking at my project outcome through a haze. With the last discussion between a few friends, I now have a rather clear idea... I get the same feeling when I've lost my glasses and finally found them again.

I will be working on a fashion reseller's blog as my project. Basically, this is rather popular in South-east asian countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. As far as I know, it isn't adopted here. A fashion reseller's blog is to sell clothing through a blog, which would fit my advertising on the Web 2.0 project.

This also helps me to clearly imagine an outcome of my project. Of course, now I'll have to come up with tedious business plans and branding solutions. But I'm just so glad to have the goal within sight now.

here are some links that I've gathered from friends for reference.
Existing Fashion Reseller Blogs.

Singapore

Now I have a list of things to do :
  1. Come up with brand value grid
  2. then the Business plan.
  3. research on different types of target market and their buying patterns on the internet.
  4. organize weekly meetings with the new "company"

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.

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.
