Vanita 'Bezi Phiri commented on The hidden cost of creativityYou are so right. A bad broth is made up of many ingredients from bad clients, bad strategy to bad briefs. | |
The hidden cost of creativity[Vanita 'Bezi Phiri] I've been exposed to a myriad of advertising campaigns that are inspiring in terms of creativity, but essentially poor in selling the product they're advertising. It explains why ad agencies lose accounts that have won them prestigious awards. A lot of ads may get the audience's attention, and perhaps even entertain them, yet they fail to drive them as consumers: the worst example being clever ads whose products the audience forgets. | |

The fine line between graphic design and art direction[Vanita 'Bezi Phiri] As an art director, my title misleads people into thinking that I take home a hefty managerial wage. It gets more confusing when I try to define my line of work since what follows is often a request to explain the difference between graphic design and art direction. I'm weary of assigning demarcations, especially in situations where perplexity originates from likeness and not difference. | |
Vanita 'Bezi Phiri commented on The ANC's Loerie-winning integrated PR campaignIf this is true, then in terms of messaging, it's a job well done! However, I don't know if those who invested their emotions in the painting (pro or against it) will understand/agree. | |
Vanita 'Bezi Phiri commented on CS6: who gives a buck?Thanks for your comments guys. For those interested, Adobe has published a video on Illustrator CS6 http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs6-creative-cloud-feature-tour-for-web/whats-new-in-illustrator-cs6/ | |
CS6: who gives a buck?[Vanita 'Bezi Phiri] I recently downloaded Photoshop CS6 Beta to get a taste of what the fuss is about. The idea, of course, is for Adobe to see how we react to the application and its changes before the official release later in the year. Though the real cost has not been publicised, the question on my mind is whether the upgrade is worth the possibly big hole it will leave in my wallet. |
