TASH Cosmetics - SKIN SOAP JUNKIE

Image
Tasha Castagna from Clayton, Ca. is a professional makeup artist and skin care developer. A beauty lover, blogger, Youtuber and author. We have conducted a short interview with her. What have you accomplished so far as a Skin Care line developer?  I've accomplished what I thought to be the Impossible! Clear Beautiful Skin for my self and others who had lost hope that it was or may even be possible. A lot of girls only dream about having clear, glowing skin but the truth is makeup can only go so far in accomplishing that. It's what under the makeup that counts. The products you use to wash your face can truly make a lasting impression. Many people don't know this but your skin will actually absorb 65% of what you put on it "topically". That's huge! We like to think of our Skin Care line as "Skin Food" you wouldn't put just anything in your body would you? Not if your health conscious! So why would you put just anything on your skin? ...

1Branch graphic design and web development

Image
Paul Etienne from Naples, FL is graphic designer and web developer and the founder of 1Branch . We have conducted a short interview with him. How does 1Branch differs in social networking features in comparison to Facebook? We are a Christian social networking platform, so that makes it different from everything you’ve heard about before because the environment is different. It also connects Christians with other Christians based on their denominations through features like “Branching and prayer box”. We have top stories where we share trending news about the Christian faith, and we also have a feature called “Broadcast” where we share Christian related videos. What kind of problems does it solve, and why is it necessary to use 1Branch? 1Branch is a platform that links you automatically with members who share your denomination, and from there you can ask questions anonymously about things you don’t like, understand, or that confuse, and even about secrets your denominat...

Eye of the Dragon

Image
Vincent Chan is an actor from Devon, UK. He just completed his web series called Eye of the Dragon . We have conducted a short interview with him. What are the challenges to be a director and actor in the web series? The biggest problem I faced was acting and directing myself at the same time. The fight sequence in the final episode was the most difficult because I had to concentrate on my martial arts moves and at the same time picture how the fight would look on camera. This made me wary of my movement and positioning because I wanted to ensure the scene was filmed as I had imagined it. There were a number of times when I thought I executed a punch or a kick at the right angle, at the right speed etc. But when the footage was played back to me, I realised my positioning was all wrong or the move wasn't executed as well as I thought. So, we did have to do a lot of retakes. How long did you take to produce and film your web series titled "Eye of the Dragon"?...

Soaring To New Heights With Brazilian Ad Campaign Prédio Pra Você

Image
While success comes when one is prepared for the opportune moment, there are degrees to success; ones which reward for the moment and ones for those who go “all in” so to speak. This is as relative for Etco Ogilvy’s “Prédio Pra Você” campaign for Magazine Luiza as for those who won the massive prize awarded. 2014 brought the FIFA World Cup to Brazil and one-hundred-ninety million television viewers along with it. This is only a part of the media coverage that included radio, print, online, and others. Brazilian megastore Magazine Luiza wanted to capitalize on the frenzy surrounding the games and the almost unprecedented viewership; Etco Ogilvy more than delivered with a campaign which was truly life changing for prize recipients. Leticia Valença was the creative strategist who helped steer Prédio Pra Você to a stratospheric level of attention which saw increased sales of nearly one-quarter compared to the previous year. The campaign combined two things which Brazilians love, football ...

Clever Books

Image
Clever Books is a creative startup that makes children's story personal. Kids themselves can be the main character in their high quality printed book. We have conducted an interview with the founders of this great idea. Where did you get your inspirations in this startup about personalised books? The inspiration for this startup is coming from my husband Thorsten. He is a born teacher as he invents educative and really nice tales on the go for our daughter. I was listening for him telling those stories about how is it important to eat vegetables or brush teeth, be nice with people and listen to parents and the idea about creating books with stories came to my mind. I wanted always to make these stories and books special and attractive to kids and therefore we made them personalized in the sense that kids can see their pictures in the books and also read stories about themselves! The stories are very helpful for parents in first place as they are helping kids through positi...
