Robert What is good design?

Good design was to be anchored in the minds of the people. Max Bill (Ulm School of Design) coined the term in 1949 for a traveling exhibition by the Schweizerischer Werkbund. Subjective taste was replaced by strict, supposedly objective criteria.

Brainstorming A New Business Concept

Written on February 9, 2010 – 7:18 am | by John Schulte |

As I’ve said before, I like to mix concept development lessons in with real life opportunity. I have a new one today for you to learn and possibly earn from.

A few weeks ago some friends invited my wife and I to go with them to a comedy club. As we were sitting at the table having a drink, our conversation turned to a neon beer sign on the wall. I said if I ever built a bar in my house I’d like to have a neon beer sign on the wall behind the bar. My friend mentioned he just missed buying one at an auction for a friend. A “Fosters Beer” one.

We have a friend in common whose last name is Foster and he just happens to be finishing off his basement and he’s putting in a bar. Then I started thinking, wouldn’t that be cool, having a neon beer sign at your bar, and the name of the beer is the same as your last name. I’d like one. Then I thought — I bet a lot of people with bars would like a neon beer sign featuring their last name. Maybe they wouldn’t even need to have a bar to want one. I know custom or personalized stuff is popular. Just think how many people have personalized license plates on their car. Neon is also very popular. I now realize I’m on-to a pretty good idea.

Then I remembered a mail order item from the sixties that made a guy a lot of money. (know your MO history) He sold family crests and coat of arms posters that hung on the wall — by mailing to lists of people that shared the same last name. The same basic concept as this idea. He’d pick a popular last name, then got a list of everybody he could with the same last name. He then had his product customized to that particular last name and sold it like crazy. When that surname stopped making money he went to the next.

What if somebody was to offer neon beer signs customized with peoples last names. You could easily get a mailing list of people selected by last name, that have either shown an interest in personalized stuff, have bought bar supplies, or beer making supplies. (There’s other criteria you could look for too)

Then send a personalized and limited time offer to these people. An offer featuring a beautiful photo of the one and only beer sign that bares their name. Showing how great it would look on their wall, behind their bar. Wouldn’t their friends be impressed, what a conversation piece.

The up-front costs to test the idea are also good. By concentrating on one last name at time, you only need to design and make one sample sign in the beginning to use for promotional photos. The template for making the sign would be used over and over.

Your only other up-front costs for testing the idea is printing, mailing and list rental. You may even be able to use one of those telephone book CD’s to develop a mailing list to test. The product is also unique enough to get some free press.

My next thought goes to future sales, what to sell these people next. How about their own six pack of beer. Bottles of beer with fancy labels personalized with their name as the brewer. Or maybe personalized beer mugs, or cocktail napkins. Maybe you could tie in a micro beer of the month feature. Yep, plenty of options here.

So far so good. But what about having the signs made? Then I thought about all the neon sign makers I’ve seen around town. I bet one or more of these artists are looking for more work. If I were to outline the idea to one of them, and ask if they would be interested in designing such a sign that could be interchangeable with different names, (starting with your own) with the possibility of making and selling a lot more, I would find someone happy to do it.

You just witnessed a brainstorm that developed a core product for making money with direct marketing. One that would be cheap to test and has big potential. For those of you that are looking to develop your own thing, remember to consider the possible use of other peoples skills. In most cases, teaming up with someone helps a lot. Also keep an eye open for what’s popular and how it can be applied to other things. We know that personalization is always popular, we see examples of it everyday. We also see that neon is once again very popular. So are micro beers. This is history repeating itself. Learn from it.

Yea! Yea! Yea! But will this sign idea make someone money? I can’t predict absolute success or failure, no one can. Success depends on more things than just the product. But, this idea has a lot of favorable points. Enough points that if I had the time, I would try it. The losses are minimal if it doesn’t work. If it does work, the total universe of potential customers is fantastic. In my opinion the rewards outweigh the risks.

The only problem I see is shipping, glass is fragile. But you might make a positive out of this by shipping the sign in a big fancy wooden crate, maybe stenciled with the last name giving it value…and signifying it’s importance. Maybe the shipping crate could be also made to double as a wine rack. All said and done, the launching of any new concept, division, or catalog, ends with somebody having the guts and making the decision to…Do It!

As a final reminder, remember that this is a demonstration in brainstorming that can be applied to many things; you don’t have to work in neon or beer signs, just plug the concept into the toolbox of your mind for future reference to apply to your own particular business and thought processes.

Choosing the Right Windows Scripting Tool

Written on February 9, 2010 – 6:49 am | by John Andersen |

Having worked in the Information Technology field for ten years I am often amazed at how many manually run processes you find in almost any organization. Data entry is a big one, so are other things like file transfers and login scripts for users. The good news is that many day to day administrative tasks can be put on virtual auto pilot by utilizing one of the many different scripting tools at your disposal.

To get started writing scripts you can use the good old fashioned command prompt, or batch files, VisualBasic script or the up and coming PowerShell. And by the way the command prompt type scripts have come a long way since the old DOS days and have many more features and abilities now that make them very powerful tools. If you are a web developer or come from a Linux background you can even use scripting languages like Perl on Windows systems.

Aside from Perl my most essential and easy to use scripts are batch scripts that utilize tools like the windows management interface console. I like these scripts so much because they handle a lot of the day to day administrative tasks needed to keep an IT department functioning smoothly. I can automate tasks like drive mapping, security configuration, file permissions and more transparently in the background with simply bat file scripts.

I even have a handy utility script for searching out and destroying those pesky toolbars and other intrusive minute-by-minute weather applications people love to install on there systems. I simply fire it up and let it handle removing the intrusive programs automatically in the background from the comfort of my workstation and without the users ever knowing about it.

To create a batch file all you do is enter the shell commands into a plain text file using notepad or your favorite editing program. Then simply save the file with an extension of bat, Windows will then automatically recognize the file as a script and execute it when opened. Some of the commands you are likely to use are net use, for mapping network drives. To make changes to access control lists and user permissions at a very granular level you could utilize the command cacls.

Sometimes you will also want to log results or pipe it. The way to pipe the results from a command is using the ‘>’ character. A simple example would be ‘dir > file.txt’ would dump the results of the directory listing command into a plain text file named file.txt. Once you master piping you can also then parse and manipulate these data files opening the door to some truly powerful scripting tools and utilities to handle a variety of tasks.

So there you have it. Just following these simple steps you can start solving your Windows network management headaches and automating many processes that are currently done manually by just using a few good scripting tools. The best part is that these tools you create are pretty much installed on your system out of the box and ready to go. So get going.

How to Make a Website Yourself

Written on February 9, 2010 – 4:38 am | by Jason Kay |

Over the past decade, the internet has grown to a massive scale. We rely on the internet to do a multitude of tasks whether it is buying our weekly groceries, booking a holiday, checking the weather; and everything in between. It is due to this huge boom, that many businesses rely heavily on having a live website which allows their current and potential customers to easily view information regarding their services and contact them and for new customers- giving them the chance to learn about them and potentially make a sale. In fact, the internet world has grown to such a degree that many are now reaping in the benefits of their own small, home businesses which have gained success from merely being on the internet.

Building your own site is not as difficult as it may seem to be, but although the vast majority of us are somewhat computer and internet literate, many of us would not have the first clue where to start in terms of making a website ourselves. However, creating your own website really couldn’t be simpler, and with these steps, you will soon see yourself launched on to the World Wide Web.

One of the first things you will require for your website is a domain name. This is simply the web address which will direct users to your site. There are a wide range of domain services which you can find on the web to purchase your name from, and many of these offer a reasonable price for a year, or however long you wish to obtain the name for. If you are building your site as a business, think about what you want the address to be. A web address which is random and irrelevant to the field of your business is going to be less memorable, and will appear to be slightly unprofessional. Having a domain name will not instantly provide you with a website, but you cannot have a website without a domain name. Once you have purchased your domain name, you will need a web host to host your website on to the internet. Again, there are many different services which you can find who will provide you with this service, all with varying prices. You will need to sign up for an account with the host you choose to use, but before you sign up with them, have a look at the varying prices from different host services, and also what kind of troubleshoot service they provide both before and after your site has gone live. Once you are all set up with your host, you will need to direct your domain name to the account which is on your web host.

Finally, you will need to design your web pages. Do a prior plan about how you envision the pages to look, taking into consideration any set colors and logos you may have which will coincide with the style and image of your business. You can hire a web designer for this section if you are looking for a specific or professional look, but there are many guides on the internet and software on the market which can help you do this yourself for a much cheaper price. If you are not quite sure what kind of look you are going for, you can go back and tweak different sections of the site once it is live, but the more planning and designing you do initially, the less work you will have to do later on. Ensure that your name is included frequently both on pages and within text on the site. This will help your rankings become higher on search engine results, which in turn will increase your overall traffic.

The internet previously was perceived as a scary field which many were hesitant to jump into. It has now grown into one of our most loved tools, allowing our businesses to grow and for us to be able to reach out to people. By creating your own website, you will not only be able to help your business succeed, but you will also be able to touch more people than ever before.

Jason Kay recommends reviewing the best website builders to better choose the right one for you.

Where to Post Free Online Classifieds

Written on February 9, 2010 – 4:31 am | by Jason Kay |

We all look for different ways in which we can earn some money and in some cases even create some much needed space in our home. We can sometimes decide to give away certain items to loved ones or others in need, but in during this time with the financial issues which have hit us as a society, giving away items for free is not always an option. In order to be successful in earning some cash for the items you are looking to sell, it is a good idea to advertise the product, providing the potential buyer with an appealing description of the item, a reasonable price, and where possible an image of the item in question. We may also be looking for something to better our lives, such as a love match or a new place to live. In today’s society, the internet is a key tool in gaining quick and easy knowledge, and in terms of selling a product, it provides us with an easy way in which to get a successful sale. If you are looking to post a classified online, there are a wide variety of different sites which are specifically aimed at what you are looking to achieve.

If you are looking to sell an item or large good, there is a wide variety of sites on the web which will allow you to advertise to a large audience, providing you with a better chance of being successful. However, in some cases, this may be under the requirement that you pay a small fee. We may not always be financially able to pay a fee for advertising, especially when the case is that the longer the advertisement runs for, the more it will cost you in the long run. This is why fee online classified websites are extremely advantageous for those who are a little strapped for cash.

There are many sites which offer its users the use of a free classifieds service. Before submitting your ad to a site, research carefully into what the site aims to do and other adverts which it includes to get a grasp of whether it appears to be a trustworthy site or not. Also, when looking at the site, think about whether it is suitable for your target market or not as some sites may allow slightly inappropriate or crude material. Before submitting your ad, read any policies which are included on the site, as well as any testimonials from other members who will give a good indication of how helpful the tech support are. Also be aware of any hidden policies they may have, including the promise of a free classified post when in actual fact you will be required to pay a fee. If you are looking for a slightly more reliable source of a free classifieds ad, then take a look at eBay. EBay has been a forerunner of free advertising for well over a decade, allowing people from all over the world to advertise and sell almost anything they want. By using images and in depth descriptions, you can easily and quickly pitch the object you are looking to sell, and are even given the opportunity to provide an ideal price. Potential buyers can then bid for this price or a price which they feel is more justifiable, but you never have to go with a bid which you do not agree with. Another method of free advertising comes with social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace. These types of sites are free but offer you the chance to reach millions of people at the touch of a button-this is one of the reasons why they have become so popular with many businesses. Using a group page, fan page or simply your own personal account, you can advertise your goods and make this visible to either a specific group of people or any user of the site.

Posting a classified doesn’t need to be an expensive worry when there are so many free services available on the internet at the moment. By carefully thinking about which site is best for you and presenting a perfect pitch, you will soon see yourself with a quick and easy sale or find.

How to Send a Press Release

Written on February 9, 2010 – 4:11 am | by Jason Kay |

In order for a piece of news or an event to become well known and grow in popularity, it requires a strong announcement which will make the public aware of its existence. The media plays a strong role in many things being brought to our attention and without this media coverage, there is very little chance that the news of the event/product/etc will reach its targeted market. With the right writing skills, almost anyone can write a good quality press release without any need for money in order to distribute it. The main thing you require is a well researched, planned and executed press release which reveals the important facts in a positive tone, whilst also keeping a sense of appeal about it which in turn will help make the public interested in its content. However, the key with producing a successful press release is not overly promote the event/product/service, but instead leave the listener wanting to know more. If you are able to produce a good quality press release, only half of your work is done. In order for the press release to accumulate the amount of hype you are hoping it will, you need to ensure that you send it out to the right places in order to get the best coverage possible.

You can send your press release to media contacts in a variety of different ways depending on the urgency of its release. The first important note to take is that you should never send a summary of the press release. Sending a link or an additional location where you can find the full press release is not only unprofessional, but it takes away the aim of your press release. You should also aim to include a catchy title, both at the beginning of the press release and if sending via email, within the subject box to catch the readers eye. Email is seen as one of the fastest ways in which people communicate with one another and the same can be said in terms of sending out your press release. When sending it through email, send the document through as text and not as a HTML. This will make it easier for all recipients to read and take facts from, and will also be much quicker to send with less chances of an error occurring on the document. Never include the press release as an attachment or a link to its location, but instead include it within the email. This takes away any issues with having to download the file, and can also ensure that the press release is read straight away. You can also fax a press release which is also a quick method, but will not always offer the same level of quality as an email will.

Mailing out a press release is not as commonly done nowadays due to the advancements which have been made in information technology but allows you to send out more detailed press releases with extra hand outs and photographs for a more detailed information source. This also allows the media to take away more information for their own coverage of your press release. Regardless of how you choose to send the press release, ensure that you include contact details of yourself or the company’s office, as well as stating clearly what the name of the company/product/service is. If the launch is for a specific date, ensure that this is also clearly noted within the release so that it can be noted in the media coverage.

Sending out a press release can make or break your launch, so before you send it out, think carefully about whom the right contacts will be to receive it. Once you have chosen your contacts, plan carefully every aspect of the press release, down to the day you are planning on sending it. You should check that all aspects of it are correct, including any facts you have included and your contact details. Then simply send out your press release to those you have chosen. Depending on what you are launching and to what scale, will heavily determine what the best method of distribution will be for you. By planning this down to the letter, you will not hit your target market, but you will also have a greater chance of making your press release a great success.

Basic Information You Should Know About Offset Printing

Written on February 9, 2010 – 2:36 am | by Milagros Tan |

Printing service is used by most organizations for different purposes such as marketing and corporate communications. Hence, it is important to have some fundamental knowledge of how printing works, particularly offset printing, which is one of the most widely employed printing technologies.

Offset printing is so popular among printing service providers and clients because for large quantities, it is more economical than other options. This is the reason good printing service suppliers recommend the use of offset printing for bulk prints.

The ink used during offset printing has oil as the medium and is insoluble in water. The offset printing is so called because the designs are transferred in an indirect way from the plates to the paper by use of rubber blankets as the agents.

The process starts by developing the designs. When offset printing began, the images had to be made by the use of film negatives and they were later put on aluminum plates. But, a modern printing company would now develop the plates directly by using an image setting system. The next step is to transfer the plate on to a cylinder such that it is spot on. Then the water and ink are dispersed on the image plates, one after another. While the ink gets stuck to the image, the water gets attached to that part of the plate which has no image so that the ink does not spill beyond the image.

Next, the image is turned around when it is put on to a rubber blanket which is stuck to another cylinder. The image is then printed with its right side facing up by cutting sheets of papers into correct size and putting them on a third cylinder.

The final steps of the printing job involve things such as stapling, pasting or organizing the printed sheets according to the instructions of the client, and any printing company should easily manage these.

Methods For a Simple 6 CD-MP3 Changer Installation

Written on February 9, 2010 – 2:21 am | by Jack Wylde |

A compact disc changer is very useful and can be installed readily to an already existing stereo set. It can accommodate the discs on tap and therefore makes it easy to change among your favourite discs. This avoids the problem of searching for the CD and playing it. It can also be located anywhere in the car. The one more advantage is that the controls of the CD changer can be done with the help of stereo controls. This article teaches how to install a 6-disc CD changer with no professional help.

The things that must be available to do this are a drill, mounting hardware for the changer, screwdriver, and receiver that is compatible for the changer apart from the CD changer.

Firstly, the location for the installation of the changer is picked. The location can be either easily accessed in case the discs have to be changed from time to time or it can be away when there is less need to change the set of discs. In either way, the location must not interfere with the usage of the space in the car. The cable must be available in a length so that it connects from this chosen location to the stereo.

The mounting hardware that comes with the changer is then installed. The changer is generally available with a bracket set that helps in mounting the changer. It can be mounted in a flat way, vertical position or also hung in trunk. The necessary holes are drilled for these brackets. They are then screwed to its position.

The control cable for the changer is the routed from the stereo set to the changer in its location. The cable is then plugged in the port that is available in the rear of the stereo. This needs the stereo to be pulled out from the dash. This can be done according to the model of the car. The cables are routed by placing it below the carpet of the car. This gives a neat finish.

The cable is plugged in the changer’s port which is generally present in the changer’s side. Angle adjustment is then set on changer. The switch on CD changer must also be set according to the mounting angle of the changer in such a way that they both match.

Then, the changer is placed in the brackets. The screws are then screwed back to keep the changer in position. By doing this the installation is completed.

Some tips on how to install a 6-disc CD changer that must be kept in mind are that the compatibility for the stereo and changer must be checked since both might not be compatible sometimes. There are additional feature such as that of a transport screw. This helps in preventing the movement of the changer when it is being transported. This must be removed before using the changer. It is usually red in colour and tagged for convenience.

Printing Services - Changes Over Time

Written on February 9, 2010 – 2:21 am | by Beth Smith |

When it comes to distributing info to a great number of people, print is one of the most popular media. With the passage of time the printing services industry has grown immensely & has evolved to its present form of a varied industry. Today it can address almost any demand of the clients connected with printing & its ancillary requirements.

With the invention of the first printing press by Gutenberg in the–00’s, bulk printing services in the form of relief printing evolved into a full fledged industrial service. In relief printing the printed matter appears elevated from the background, just as it exists in a rubber stamp.
