35 Splendid Examples of Forced Perspective Photography | Fotogra Fotografie von Nousheen Aquil Dieser Post beschäftigt sich mit einem interessanten und herausfordernden Ansatz in der Fotografie – nämlich der Forced Perspective – was sich in etwa mit erzwungener Perspektive übersetzen lässt. Im Wesentlichen geht es um eine optische Täuschung, die das Objekt größer oder kleiner wirken lässt, als es tatsächlich ist. Durch verschiedene Tricks und den Einsatz skalierter Objekte sowie deren Relation zum Blickwinkel des Betrachters oder zur Position der Kamera, wird der menschlichen Wahrnehmung eine andere Perspektive als die tatsächlich fotografierte vorgegaukelt.

9 Ways to Enhance Your Facebook Fan Page Facebook fan pages number among the few social media channels that allow page customization for users. Instead of a mediocre interface, business owners and professionals can now apply HTML code to enhance their Facebook fan page presence to promote and build business branding.

Keep LinkedIn Clean In my last post, I talked about making sure we Use LinkedIn Effectively. Here’s something else to think about: stop importing your Twitter feed into LinkedIn indiscriminately. If LinkedIn is meant for business networking, what do you think these updates (pulled at random) are doing to help your business? Let’s see, we have: A quote – shows you can copy and paste (okay, and a little bit of where your head is). A link – this one’s actually pretty good, as it leads me somewhere, but it’s a request for help with a contest. Business Value There’s nearly no business value in any of those items listed above (I’ll give Lewis a pass for his location quote). I’m going with no. Use LinkedIn for Business Status Now, what does that mean? In one, I ask a question about using LinkedIn for networking. But in all cases, anything I put across that status message is something that pertains to my business interests in one way or another. Keep The Stream Valuable Thoughts?

Why is Lack of Control Suddenly a Big Deal? - The PR Warrior A large part of what the public relations profession has done in the past - and continues to do today - is the generation of media publicity - editorial coverage in newspapers and magazines and on radio, television and the internet. Good old column inches and airtime! Probably not as important or as effective as, say, five to 10 years ago, but certainly a critical part of the PR mix for many companies and organisations. Despite what so-called 'spin doctors' like to think, PR people (and by extension, the brands they represent) generally have little control over what the media says. Not now, not ever. (Personally I don't think spin doctors are part of the PR profession - for more of my thoughts on the subject: 'Government Spin Story Leaves PR Warrior With a Heavy Heart'). In other words, you have no control over the outcome of what is actually published. Catchcry of Social Media The catchcry of social media is that companies have no 'control'. Well, they didn't. Lack of control? Mmmm.
