Been a while... Pantone... What's up...

Well the last post I had was about last years pantone color stuff.
Here's a new post bc we're back in action and gonna keep things moving.

The color of the year selected by Pantone is this purple or "Radiant Orchid".
Is this the new color I guess so, I would have picked something close.
What does the design world think Pantone has even joined in the TV ad world to promote themselves / cars and such. IDK about the promotion of Pantone as an everyday thing we as designers know about it and use it everyday but is it really a thing for everyday people to see what is behind the curtain? Marketing and designers alike should be prepared for a world that is not so manipulative and secret as consumers become more and more aware.

What have I been up to? I graduated with my Masters Degree in Marketing Administration, got a new job at www.ptigroupinc.com as their Sr. Product Manager / Sr. Product Designer. Currently working on wrapping up Halloween 2014 and now currently designing products for Easter 2015.

Nailed it!

Coupon Extremes

A question to all the couponers of the internets?
I am in the mist of researching extreme and regular couponing and would like some feedback. Is there a need for a better couponing system? Think casual users and extreme. Most of what I have seen is a binder with some baseball card holder pages to hold your coupons.

It seems to me this is a very inefficient use of time and energy and not a good product that is usable in the long run...

A few sites you can check out if you are interested in more information are below. Please reply with your thoughts.

That ole grey Moleskine AIN'T what she used to be

 

Dude do not buy a moleskine book expecting the same quality you got two years ago.

Because they are worse!

They are now totally made in China so the people in Italy don't even touch them anymore.

But wait there's more!

Even the cover that was their signature thing is now processed and made in China so it's a poor plastic representation of what used to be an awesome book covering. 

Also you may notice their are more competition to the moleskine line well that's because they are all made in China now...

So pick your design books carefully designers, although their pretty much all the same now anyway.

A new twist on the old book!

 This is a great new product for any designer or sketcher.
The thing that is interesting to me is to find products that I tried to get my company to make and they tell me no or that's not a good fit. And then I see them on the market months or years later....
