green and consumption
I was inspired by encore magazine on the issue between "green" and "consumption"!
It said,
' 1. Commercial imagery has been greenwashed. The colour green is being used in such large quantities that large numbers of ads have no differentiating features. The palette is actually pretty narrow too-there are two types of "eco green" being used predominantly.'
'2. Nature is being pillaged for icons and symbolism in the fight to be "green". Trees, leaves and grass are the icons most adopted. Polar bears and penguins seem to be the default cheerleaders for green advertisers too.'
'3.There is very little lightmess or humour in communication-much of what we saw was storytelling, reminding us the impact of our action etc.'
'4. The environment sells products! Environmentalism has moved away from being solely political issue. Conspicuous consumption is now measured in the number of green products that wr consume. The imagery being used is very much attempting to connect with aspirational environmentalists.'

Graniph- T's Value
Today I have read a pretty cool website about fashion and there is a fabulous article about the fashion label, Graniph. Let's quote some content.
It is interesting to know that the label is related to the era of "Japanese depression" when Japanese stock market crashed and youngsters began to rethink. They rejected to do anything for the society and ignored the routine spending.
People who started designing understood that "the market isn't willing to pay for a single product as much as before, that the consumers had different values as well; they had build up a sort of customer intelligence".
"Graniph decided to offer a single T for 2000 Yen/20US$, because it is basically just a T-shirt and they knew that they would have so many ideas and would want to create so many new designs that couldn't exclusively sell just one design or piece forever". I think people would like to use same amount of money to buy many pieces of Ts with difference designs rather than just buying a single expensive piece.
Graniph tells the reader what the is the value of a T-shirt: It is the easiest garment on earth to make; everyone can wear it; everyone can print it; and that's basically it. While you usually see illustration in/on something static—a book, CD sleeve, gallery, museum, magazine—a T-shirt moves around with the person and expresses his/her mood, background, style etc. in the easiest way.

Badminton 我手癢 想打羽毛球
在奧運熱刺激下，我很想做運動，你說我是一時衝動都好，反正已買了一塊羽毛球拍，打算今個週末打羽毛球，真的有點手癢，很久沒有打羽毛球了，不會連球拍都忘了怎握吧！奧運可以刺激跟運動有關的零售業，今天見到很多人在逛運動商店，大家可能跟我一樣，被奧運感染下，技癢要過番幾招。
