When we were young, we all had the experience of looking into a kaleidoscope with one eye-- Remember how it felt like to be fascinated by the different patterns that almost never repeated themselves?

Everyone does it, no matter in rural or urban areas. When local charity organizations decided to bring this issue to serious attention,

What kind of image would a liquor merchandise want to give its consumers? Heineken puts down its competitors by visualizing its slogan: “Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach”; while Hennessy plays on being the favorite among hip and elegant yuppies. My encounter with Johnnie Walker, though, goes back to almost a decade ago...   It was the time when Harvey Keitel was the face of Johnnie Walker, the whole world recognized it as the famous drink from the “Keep Walking” campaign. In Taiwan it’s the same story. From the “KEEP WALKING Fund” project to the inspirational Tommy Chen

    G-Voice Recommendation:    This is a film by Darren Aronofsky who directed the critically acclaimed Black Swan (2000). If you consider Trainspotting as a brilliant film on drugs, addiction and the critique on modernity, Requiem for a Dream would be ever more appealing to your taste. Although the film is full of images of using drugs, and considered banned for such reason, the atmosphere created in Dream is a sound warning rather than an appraisal of any kind.    One of the films technique is using rapid cuts to parallel the emotion drug addicts are going through.

Legendary Performances: The White Lie   Why is it that those who appear in commercials are always compelled to exaggerate their reactions? Why do food products always look much more tastier on television? ? ? Is this a dishonesty scam, or just an artistic portrayal that allows imagination? We must start from the story of production assistants. . . . . .    When I was working as an film producer’s assistant, the director had looked at me with hope and excitement and exclaimed: “Bruce, that chicken patty needs to burst with juice and flavor the moment it is

  When was the last time you came across an online ad?  Yesterday? Last week? Last month? Or maybe never?    It is an proved fact that consumers are even less convinced by the advertisements they see.
