LOGO HW

I read the Starbucks article as well, I totally don't buy that its unrelated even if all they did was use reference from the original logo. Size shape color, all same. Even the name, you've never found a Star in coffee, how exactly do they just so happen to have that be consistence name to name? Starbug, Starbucks, last 3-4 letters changed. It sells because people mistake one for the other and nobody wants to read anymore. Look at soda companies, Dr Pop, Dr Pepper, people see a look alike and are sold.

HW DUE DEC 6 CUZ I PUT IT ON YOUR BLOG HA

Mercedes is another car company that sells it name, like Nike and Verizon. I think that branding, advertising, and promoting are the only way to overwhelm word of mouth and to make people think what you want. I do it too, although i am honest with my claims. When it comes to booking, i won't book you for the soonest availability one to give myself prep time but two, to let you know your among others making the same choice (which should be comforting ) and to also let you know you have my consideration. If you can make someone believe something, it almost doesn't even matter how valid you are.

Response to poor design article from The New York Times

          It seems to me like an article like this is long overdue, poorly conceived and non-functioning change in design has been happening for way too long. People have an overwhelming need for change even if it isn't a good one. Some will say that the automated sink and soap activator in public bathrooms was a good way to kill cross contamination, as well as a great way to conserve water. However when the soap dispenser gives you little soap and the water sprays for 3 seconds, exactly how convenient or sanitary was that?
         For centuries things have been getting invented, changed, modified, re-invented and eventually butchered. Much like the rise and fall of Myspace, to Facebook, to Instagram even social media gets created, changed, screwed up, and eventually forgotten. Everyone wants the convenience of having what they want as easy as possible, while expelling as little effort as possible. The need to fix what isn't broken will always be there.
        One point raised in the article was a complaint about poor signing for various road obstacles. The "detour" signs are in theory there to help, but if the magical trail of unwanted warning signs actually led you to the destination they would be awesome and functional. Unfortunately, this is seldom the case. Another issue that is happening just outside of the campus, the dreaded traffic circles of death and confusion. Yield, drive, yield, think about which exits yours, miss it, drive, yield, this was a great idea. Look another circle, onto the next yield, drive, exit, circle, yield, drive. Someone could have certainly stepped in and figured out a more streamline way to get people to where they were going without making them hit laps around suburbia in search of their destination.
        To bring this all to a close, great ideas like public hand sanitizer kiosks and puppy poop stations are great things we desperately need. However when you invent the EZ pass and then have sections of highway that give little to no warning a toll is coming and then have three quarters of the road EZ pass and the rest cash only, your not helping. For those who still aren't in 2013 and hooked up to big brother, getting that twenty five dollar fine for not seeing the tolls come in enough time sure shows who is being favored. Design flaw is something that as long as people desire and want, eventually everything will be dumbed down to "fast easy and sleek", as opposed to useable and functional.

A rose grows from the ground and is very young starting as a bud. 

Once it's sick of being a bud, it becomes a small flower. Flowers get full and rich in color, reaching desired potential. As it's potent, its time is also got an expiration. Beauty never stays, and death never fails.
