Don't be frightened of branding The brand guru Wally Olins says "All organisations have a brand or corporate image, whether they especially manage it or not and whether they are aware of it or not." There is no single definition of what a brand is, but if you are a social enterprise, you've got one. If you want to make the concept a tangible thing, then you can apply this simple truism: brand is synonymous with business. Everything you do and everything you say is an expression of what you're marketing. There are some regularly cited criticisms of business that make it tough for today's brand owners to manage their property effectively. Commercial brands are making attempts to address these issues with sophisticated corporate social responsibility programmes and transparent business practices, but the inherent paradox of the profit motive versus community or environmental benefits remains. Over the years, I've been dissatisfied with the brands I've designed. What does it mean to say brands are artificial constructs?
Movement Generation Justice and Ecology Project Regenerative Designs foodscout.org - Find health naturally DIY Idea: Rainbow Melted Crayon Art & Man Made DIY | Crafts for Men... Artist and designer Jessica Kerbawy creates these amazing rainbow wall art pieces by gluing a spectrum of crayons on foam core, and then strategically melting them with a heat gun. The paper wrappers are left atop, with the remains of the colored wax dripping down. Though it may look like something you've seen before, I find these to be pretty clever and unique, and an update on the playing with melted wax and rainbow techniques. Jessica's prices are actually incredibly reasonable, between $25 and $75 depending on the size. Check them out at JKCreative's Etsy Shop Interested in more DIY colorful wall art ideas? via CMYBacon
