The Contents of Pockets and the Consumer Insight Parallel

What intrigued me about this post on a Russian website ZIZA was the parallel between work that we do at Soulsight and this apparent art project. It's all about what's in a person's purse,wallet or backpack. I've said many times in this forum, that consumer's only know so much about themselves, and tend to reveal only half of that to us, so when we ask them direct questions about their purchase behavior, we can only take their word for so much. Read more to see whats really in their bag.

The New Japanese Lunch Experience: Look Out Lunchables!

Berg Little Printer

I listened to Roland Buerk's report on BBC Radio this morning about how school lunches in Japan are raising the bar in food styling and design.

It seems that the parents of these kids feel that the experience of eating lunch at school needs to go beyond the brown paper bag or even the Scooby-Doo lunch box of my day. They go as far as making Michael Jackson rice balls and Play Station controller out of Seaweed. Truly amazing stuff!

The Emotion of Propaganda

Coming from a military family, December 7 has always been a day of solemn remembrance of the attack of Pearl Harbor. As a designer though it's also a time of year that i start looking up the old WWII propaganda posters. It amazes me that how impactful these posters can still be. I'm not surprised, just amazed, that they have such staying power. It's a testament to how important emotion is in the success of design.

Brand Experience: Enjoy Your Flight Delay
For most people, going to the airport is a singularly frustrating and stress-inducing experience.

But that's not the case at Chiangi International Airport in Singapore, a sort-of airport fantasyland that's garnered more than 370 "best" awards from travel groups and publications since it opened three decades ago, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Science Meet Design (meet Kidee Carnival Ride Inspired Consumer Insight Theory)

Getting ready for my college reunion got me looking at old notebooks. I came across this page...

It brought up the day a physics professor once explained to me, a student of the arts at the time, a certain phenomenon that modern day physicists believe to exist. It goes something like this:

If we take space, all space, to be a sheet of rubber, and we then keep an object of mass (M) on it, the sheet of space curves with the weight of the object with mass (M)...
