▲（Source of picture：http://www.psdgraphics.com/backgrounds/bulls-eye-target） More and more people asked me recently, “For brand owners, what exactly is brand marketing in the digital age?” The traditional marketing relies on T.V, newspapers, magazines, radio broadcastings or outdoor billboards so if we get our heads around the features of these media, we could market everything with flying color. However, in these past few years, these old tricks don’t work the same magic anymore.  Due to the rise of social networks in recent years, from blog, YouTube, twitter to Facebook and Pinterest, new media appear in alarming rate. These new marketing tools have their

“The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world”                                                                                                              ─Karl Lagerfeld   Do you still remember the smell of a book? After the e-publication became popular, the scent of books has gradually been forgotten. If you’re an avid lover of

（ Source of picture：http://www.casaoito.net/coca-cola-security-cameras） We tend to have preconceived images or stereotypes towards certain things, such as associating a tattooed person with drug use, a guy dyeing hair blonde as delinquent, a strong muscular man must be meat-lover, girls must love playing with dolls or guys will inevitably cheat etc. (please scrap the last one). Stereotypes are generally negative perceptions. What is your impression of surveillance/security camera? Monitoring, stalking, uncomfortable, violence-related, insecure…?  This Coca-Cola commercial from Latin America turned the usually negatively-associated-surveillance camera into a happiness catcher that capture every second of moving moment about bliss, love, peace and friendship.

Remember the 3.11 Earthquake in Japan 2 years ago? That was the first time the impact of such disasters really hit me by “witnessing” it with my own eyes. (A few colleagues and I hung around the TV all afternoon watching live broadcast. We were in awe of nature’s cruelty, and and the same time, impressed with how fast the Japanese new reporters were able to get there.) It was unreal, almost as if watching a movie. Before this, there has not been an occasion where the actual happening of a natural disaster is fed to viewers live. It

Perhaps you are tired of hearing another fruit fable about George Washington’s cherry tree, Newton’s apple or Peach Taro’s ghost-busting adventure. However, the next fruit related story we are about to tell you, you’re gonna love it! It’s about a Taiwanese orange moving onto the world, a heartfelt tale woven by dreams and fun!     Two Students’ Dream of Games   FullSoft, established in 1995 by Albert and his good friend, Lin, Huei-Yuan, was the studio-turned-company and the predecessor of Gamania. The ambition to promote Taiwanese games for the world to see was the biggest drive for their

The new private hospital in Villeneuve d’Ascq in northern France is a hospital like one you’ve never seen before. Who said a health institute had to be all solemn and impersonal?  On the contrary, this hospital was carefully designed for the patients to feel at ease in a relaxing environment. The project was led by Jean-Philippe Pargade, one of the top architects and urban planners in France. Besides inserting chic, modern elements into the building structure, it aims to improve the community’s medical quality. The hospital in Villeneuve d’Ascq covers an area renovated from uncultivated farmland in the new

E-sports is a fairly new sports with limited support and popularity and therefore as young eSports contestants in Taiwan (average age from 16-22), they need to put in a lot of efforts to hack a path amidst adverse environment. They are the pioneers for opening the path for others who might follow suit in the future, and right now, members of Gama Bearss are at that stage.  The cruel winning and losing reality of eSPorts, frictions among peers, the opposition from the families, these young contestants faced frustration and failures earlier than most. To give them courage and encouragement

    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.

Art / Lust / Photography 〉〉〉 SPACE 17 (January) features erotic art and photography. One of the forerunners in this industry is Terry Richardson. His works are charged with sexual tension, yet is regarded by the public as a highly-respected form of art. From fashion designers to President Obama, all were happy to be associated with Terry Richardson. His legacy tells the rest. Yonehara Yasumasa is another example of an erotic artist that has now achieved international fandom and prestige. The erotic industry doesn’t always have to point to sex and nudity, especially in Europe, Japan and the US. As
