The Bird Nest: December 2006

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Thursday, December 14, 2006. The Fire Escape Photo. Why is it that the usual form for advertising executive photo is to look rather moodily into the camera? Is it cos we're trying to be cool when we're not? Is it cos we're actually not enjoying it? Is it cos we want people to think we're serious when we're actually jokers. I wanted to put my friend Alex's photo up, but unfortunately he came out over-exposed. Tuesday, December 12, 2006. Sunday, December 10, 2006. Let's ge...

The Bird Nest: April 2006

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Friday, April 28, 2006. This is where it is at: great example of a brand (MacDonald's) being attacked using informative and engaging content. Just like No Logo its my job to learn and adapt. Think Virus/Anti-Virus. Http:/ www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp? How to get ads watched. From an American Gym company. Monday, April 17, 2006. Malcolm Gladwell recently wrote a review in the New Yorker of a book called 'Why'. In summary though, reason giving is dependent on our conte...

The Bird Nest: August 2006

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Friday, August 04, 2006. A chink of light in urban darkness. See more of Banksy's work here. Wednesday, August 02, 2006. Malcolm Gladwell talks Chairs. To his lovely talk about the risks in taking what people say at face value. Another nail in the coffin of bad consumer research. 1) Preferences are unstable - think the Coke sip. 2) Beware the perils of introspection: making people explain what they want actually changes their preferences, and often kills innovation.

The Bird Nest: In praise of Disconnection

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2007/04/in-praise-of-disconnection.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Thursday, April 12, 2007. In praise of Disconnection. We're so used to the always on nature of the modern world, that cutting free from it feels strange. I just spent the last six days without phones, emails, blogs, facebook, twitters or any of that modern jazz. I barely even saw a Television. I did read the papers most days - which gave me more than enough sense of what was happening in the wider world. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Bird Nest: March 2007

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Sunday, March 18, 2007. Saw a really interesting exhibition. At the awfully elitist Design Musuem yesterday. Luigi Colani. Is an 80 something designer of products, objects, cars, tea-sets etc. What struck me most was his unbending faith in using nature as the blueprint for all of his designs. He's been so successful that today, organic forms in product design seem quite the norm. Friday, March 02, 2007. Microscopic Splatted Gnat - says it all. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Bird Nest: January 2007

http://leorayman.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

A collection of twigs and scraps. Monday, January 01, 2007. Thanks to Matt at Thoughtcrime. For tagging me with the most bugging early morning mental workout - but then blame Dan at Cubemate. Too I guess. The workout? Five things about you that people don't already know. 1 I used to be the lead singer in an Indie band (circa 1990-92). We made one demo *tape* in a studio. which kind of says it all really. Our drummer couldn't keep time. My dulcet tones were however, something else. Much more interesting t...

A collection of twigs and scraps. Friday, October 20, 2006. The Limits of Co-Creation. I'm all for the whole reversioning content and taking ownership vibe. But then I saw this here. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. From Crispin Porter Bogusky. The premise: buy a Volkswagen and we'll give you a guitar (which, just by the way) you can plug into the cars' stereos. Oh and check out the ads on Youtube. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. Gossip in the town square. Same old same old huh? Wednesday, October 11, 2006. I too...

A collection of twigs and scraps. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Like watching Earth from the Moon. Watch this for 5 minutes. http:/ twittervision.com/. It's the nearest thing I've ever felt to being part of a Global community. Thursday, April 12, 2007. In praise of Disconnection. Have already spotted the opportunity for 'disconnection' with a six step guide to how to disconnect when you go on holiday. One to try next time? Sunday, April 01, 2007. No End of Inspiration?
