The beginning of spring in 2012, GHK held a vivacious spring banquet. To conjure the ‘wildness’ of the lost youth and those teenage dreams everyone used to have, Gamanians in GHK dressed in high school uniforms once again and attended the event held in The Patio hotel in Hung Hom on February 10th, 2012 to relive those ‘unforgetable’ years. How exciting was the event? How special were their high school style? How nervous did they get when they drew the prizes? Let’s review those wonderful moments through pictures!    The venue was extravagant and magnificant       Albert

As the saying goes, "clothes make the man". While the focus is on the games, the design of the exhibition area was an important part of the GGS as well. The pavilions at GGS were the work of well-know theatrical design company "Big Bright Room". Thanks to their ingenuity, each of the pavilions acquired their own particular style and became the center of the media's attention on opening day. The main pavilion even included movable sofas that could be used to host press conferences during the day and parties at night! So what was Big Bright Room's design concept

  Everybody knows that there are three major features of M&M: it only melts in your mouth, not your hands, each package contains different flavors, and each color-coated chocolate has its own personification. M&M’s unique marketing operation is precisely the reason why it stands out among all other brands. Of all the strategies, the most commendable performance lies in its shaping of brand character.    Sweets, unlike 3C products, do not feature on being ‘stronger’, ‘faster’ in technological functions. High-tech products may cause heated discussion and generate much attention merely from their specifications. However, for sweets and snacks, the

  HOLE  IN  ELEVEN     The Japanese ladies who sell matches: こけしマッチ manufacturer    It is alleged that majority of Japanese people have A blood type. The notion implies that they often give off a sense of seriousness and demand for perfection. However, some anti-depressed merchandises mushroomed and brought smiles back to peoples’ faces in recent years. We have to give it to the Japanese: they may seem uptight to the bones, but they’ve got some quirky sense of humor and creativity.    Since the invention of lighter, matches gradually faded out of sight. At the brink of

G!VIOCE Recommend:  “Imagine when you throw your broken carpet to the garden, it can be decomposed and provided nutrition to the earth; the detergent flow through the river can actually nourish the river; when the garden and farms alike have signs written, ‘Dump the Waste Here’…” Cradle to Cradle’s visionary eco ideal will overthrow your perspective on green design and reexamine it.  Introduction In the nature, there is nothing to be disposed. When a cherry tree blossoms, the flowers will fall to the ground—nothing is being wasted here. Because all the dry branches, fallen leaves and flowers will return

在洛杉磯進行的E3展，Xbox與343揭露了Halo 4新的Trailer 「Awakening」，Halo 4 新的三部曲的第一波，上市預定為2012年12月（好長時間的預熱行銷啊）。Trailer裡，主角在逃離燃燒中的飛行器之前，從低溫睡眠中被喚醒……，Trailer 的故事劇情很短，但花了很多素材來鋪陳、來達成影片目的，並加深影片的張力。 一個成熟且目的清楚的商業影片，會把所有的資源與精力，運用在想說清楚的那個目的上，為了被消費者記住，「目的」是否明確非常重要，完成的方法也很重要。 換個說法，CG、3D、合成這方面的影像工業，一路走來從電影、遊戲、廣告、Animate等等產業來看，「擬真」一直是商業賣點。CG做得像真實的，頭髮會飄、毛會抖……，人的身體可以有四隻腳、長尾巴，但卻是會說話的人。我們可以用很炫的CG科技，讓消費這看到一個「超酷炫」的電影技術，也可以把很炫的CG科技，轉化成「運釀一股氣氛來引起共鳴」。 這支Trailer是個上乘之作，花了很多錢、用了很多人力來塑造一個氣氛，一個畫面裡有各種影音的元素來鋪陳氣氛，而非把時間與人員花在製作跳來飛去的模型、以及誇張的鏡位視角來拍攝主角揮舞手中的武器上。 這支影片與宣傳由知名廣告代理商McCann來負責，找到了這支Trailer的製作人員名單後，就很想寫這篇文章跟大家分享，一個CG或是一個宣傳影片，要結合許多的專業來完成，我覺得，我們目前還是在用廚師兼掌櫃的方法幹活，距離真正成熟的大規模商業影片製作……「兄弟們，我們還有很長的一段路要走……加油吧」 Halo 4 - Official Teaser Trailer https://youtu.be/kE-YP2t6Syo ------------------------------------------- 作者介紹 Bruce 曾擔任過國內外電視廣告製作、電影發行與戲院行銷、日本電通北京分公司創意比稿團隊、遊戲橘子內部導演，目前為日本遊戲橘子商品開發部課長（Section Manager） -------------------------------------------

Mobile phone makers are increasingly focusing on hardware upgrades rather than functionality. In the rush to introduce faster processors and add more Flash memory, they forget that it's the user experience that decides how practical the new hardware is.  Though the iPhone dominates the smart phone market, once you remove the IOS system the actual hardware is something that any other smart phone maker can put together. What they can't imitate is how user-friendly and intuitive the design of the operating system is. The UI has always been the most easily overlooked part of software design. Smart phones are
