A child grows up in a childhood where his parents divorced, he's self-contained and bullied; with such life experiences, how will his life turn out? Expert gamer Tony Lin lived a life to embody the famous gaming slogan "There is heaven in everyone's mind." Having seen hell, he knows very well where heaven is Before the age of 13, Tony Lin was living in hell. Tony became self-contained at 6 due to his parents divorce, and even developed symptoms of schizophrenia. However, this experience also taught him how to be alone and utilize the resources to achieve what he

A good and creative idea is usually "simple, easy to understand, and can be carried out by different people without the results being too inconsistent." The following case is a classic example. The idea is so simple you will utter in awe "Wait a minute! Why didn't I think of that?" When it comes to top locations to get married, "Las Vegas" is probably a popular option for many. This is because, as the Hollywood movies go –any couple who are sweetly in love (or for that matter, strangers who just met) can find happiness here, whether the reason

"Waiting" is a process. It is something unavoidable in daily life. We wait to ultimately reach the thing or the person we desire. We usually have a positive mental image of what awaits us in the end. However, the process of waiting creates anxiety, impatience, and even desperation and anger. Therefore, a key experience design detail for a waiting process is to guide the user towards positive emotions. In "The Design of Everyday Things", Donald A. Norman proposed six principles of design, which I have listed below and applied to using the example of waiting in line: Principle No.1:

It may seem like artificial intelligence (AI) only exists in movies, but in fact, AI has already infiltrated our lives. It could even be said that everyone has already used AI, at least if you have used an image editing app before. These magical effects all come from precise AI algorithms. In late April of 2018, NVIDIA announced the research results which shows that AI can recognize missing parts to reconstruct an image. ▲NVIDIA Fixes Photos by Recognizing what's missing (Photo source: https://www.inside.com.tw/2018/04/25/nvidias-ai-fixes-photos-by-recognizing-whats-missing) This achievement may be just an entertaining function for the general public, but it can perfectly

The new Neihu headquarters embraces the concept of Open & Limitless, opening up new grounds for Gamania to become an Eco-Internet enterprise. The word “open” refers to open spaces and melting down of barriers; on the other hand, “limitless” means the boldness to be innovative and to create impressive ideas! Gamania’s focus has also evolved - before, it was solely online gaming; now the focus has expanded to“the Internet of life”. The company slogan has shifted

▲Photo from the Associated Press The changing algorithm of Facebook is no longer news, and no longer surprising to us editors or any digital marketing professional. In fact, the changes on Facebook are not universal around the world, but gradually implemented by region. For example, everyone's post background image may differ, some may have the newer images earlier, while others have to wait a while before they catch up. The difference in time is also shown in the recent Facebook policy in Taiwan, something that is starting to gain notice: What is forced sharing on Facebook? You must have

(Photo from https://www.gq.com.tw/life/travel/content-33317.html) Yayoi Kusama is an internationally renowned artist with creations displayed at the Venice Biennial, and held as classics in museums worldwide. Yayoi Kusama's work can be seen in various large and small exhibition spaces in Japan, such as Mori Art Museum, Art Setouchi. But to see a whole museum dedicated to her art, you must go to the quite residential area in Shinjuku. It's quite difficult to visit the Yayoi Kusama. In order to maintain

▲The wildly sought after McDonald's limited supply of Szechuan Sauce and poster. As long as your brand has been around long enough, then you must have, in one way or another, some discontinued products that are deemed "classic or fondly missed"! If you intend to create an "unstoppable comeback" for these products, besides exerting a full-scale campaign and go on hollering, is there a more convenient and smarter way to pull it off? Maybe we could learn from the following example of McDonald's and draw some inspiration. Twenty years ago in 1998, McDonald's collaborated with Disney on its animated

Look at the above movie poster, who do you think the owner of this advertisement is? Recently, the foreign marketing industry has popularized a new form of expression: disguising the brand's marketing advertisement as a movie, and even produce a trailer for it! Why would the brand make its customers spend so much time examining the piece of advertisement as a movie trailer, to only find out it is actually an advertisement at the end? What is this method of product marketing really about? Crocodile Dundee is back! Is it for real? The most representative example would be "2018

▲ (A photo from the Facebook Fan-Page of "The Affairs") "The Affairs", a newspaper of the new era, was founded in Summer 2017, and began its fundraising plan in Winter 2017. People are easily overwhelmed by the amount of quick, short and fragmented messages in the contemporary society. "The Affairs" hopes to give subscribers a chance to sit down and read a newspaper that is completely different from the others in terms of its value, content, and typesetting design. What is different? Everything is different. For its outer appearance, "The Affairs" chose to use two newsprints that have never
