There are tons of magazine covers with models, females and males that amaze the onlookers with their bodies or faces. The perfection expressed by these models conducted to deviated behaviors, many young women attempting to look similar to these and many times the effects were disastrous. The tabloids encouraged the “improved silhouettes”and the phenomenon is still widespread even if it is well-known that it is all about the talent of a good user of Adobe Photoshop and not natural beauty.
Under these circumstances, enhancing pictures with human subjects became degrading, many people considering the artists making these retouches aresomehow selling fake dreams. People must revise this opinion. A better understanding of their work will make everything clearer and the specialists doing these won’t be considered as a “paria” of the design world.
These days, you can ask everyone, anywhere anything, anytime.
Since the advent of the social internet, gone are the days when seeking advice required thorough investigation of forums, IRC channels, and databases. Now, we have the power to ask anyone, anywhere anything, anytime by using crowdsourcing question and answer tools. Crowdsourcing Q&A tools have been around since at least 1999; however, as the socially collaborative internet has evolved, crowdsourcing Q&A sites have become increasingly popular and useful as both new and existing tools have begun granulating into serving specific information niches - in other words, you are going to get more answers from more people who are specifically interested in what you're trying to find out.
If you've thought about using crowdsourcing Q&A tools, don't hesitate! These tools are powerful communication channels that allow you to use the collective brainpower of people from all different walks life, providing you unique & unexpected insight into your most pressing issues. This guide to crowdsourcing Q&A tools will help you decide which platform will best suit your needs and interests, while connecting you to the right audience for your questions (or answers!)

Formulating the social media strategy for any business involves answering quite a few 'whys', 'hows', 'whats' etc. This article explores the intermediate decisions to be taken by a firm in its social media journey right from conceptualization of entry to launch.
Customers are bombarded with messages from various newspapers, TV channels etc. It is quiet natural for a typical consumer to be exposed to the same brand’s message, through the newspaper, radio jingles and the outdoor hoardings.
The only mantra that firms earlier seemed to believe was to create a presence wherever possible to ensure that customers were exposed to the message and it helped the ‘top of mind recall’ for the brand. This probably further helped to generate an intention culminating in purchase of product or service. However, in social media, no matter on how many social media channels a firm creates its presence; it's the end customer who decides whether he/she wants to “follow” the brand on that particular channel.
I love brainstorming! I think it's a way of getting the best for a project. It puts all heads together and brings out the best ideas, without bruising egos and involves the team equally. I've seen great things come out of brainstorms.
Lately, I've seen people stating that brainstorming isn't the best way to approach product creation. They argue that people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and other innovators did it all themselves and changed the world. They are, however wrong. These people are strong proponents of collaboration.
