<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The road trip home every other weekend always makes me philosophize. Like so many times before I am pondering about the existence of God. Logically laying out each data and conclusions. Maybe its just now that I had the courage to actually write about it where people can see. Hopefully not though, but thats another issue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway, I was thinking how Man throughout the ages have been exaggerating the notion of God to the point of being outright ridiculous. Man has taken extreme pains to explain the things around him. The time he gazed up in the sky with the first glimmerings of consciousness must also be the first time he asked the inevitable question WHY.  At which point he must have become the highest order of being on earth. To ponder on such relatively insignificant issues he must have established the beginnings of a civilization which enabled him enough leisure time to ask such questions. Instict led him to believe there must be someone higher even than him. Things around him he can not control must be the workings of a being more powerful than him. The power to call forth storms and thunders to move mountains and the ground beneath his feet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attributing petty human emotions to what he conceived as an angry god, naturally he did what sensible sub-being is able to do. Appeasement, worship, offerings, atonement, the works. And the rest as they say, is history. Man have moved on to being ridiculously descriptive and even graphic at times to appease this angry god.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for me, I believe in humanity. Where he is going and what he has been through. That he will survive. Immortality achieved through his loins. Man will eventually take care of himself as he always has.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I DON&#8217;T LIKE TOO MUCH COFFEE. {with a note of sarcasm}</p>
<p>Because a few well chosen words from the right person has the same effect as drinking buckets of coffee anyway..</p>
<p>I&#8217;d rather have a good conversation, in any case when a good conversation proves elusive I guess the coffee will have to do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t misunderstand me. I&#8217;m an avid coffee drinker, I&#8217;m trying to quit I guess. From a double shot caramel macchiato, mocha frappucino lite with whipped cream, White Mocha Frappuccino, Java Chip Frappuccino, Espresso Macchiato, capuccino, latte, or the good old nescafe 3-in-one to start the day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why drink coffee at all? What makes it so good to start the day? Make a small conversation with an old friend you just happen to pass on the street on the way to work, school,  or some errand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most people say, or rather most coffee drinkers would say the day just isn&#8217;t the same without a cup of coffee. It is the mildly stimulating effect of the caffeine in coffee that gets us going for the day. That is probably what appeals to most people about coffee and there is little doubt that the caffeine is a mildly addictive drug as well. Some would go as far as to say they can&#8217;t live without it. I guess we all want to perform better, be a better person. And somehow coffee does that however briefly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Same goes for all the things we can&#8217;t live without cellphones, ipod, laptop,wrist watches, computer games, liquor, books, even a person. Those things/people we just can&#8217;t give up because we are better because of it/him/her. Somehow we feel a need to be intoxicated, &#8216;take a sip&#8217; every now and then, just to make it through the day. Familiar huh?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I remember a phrase from the Dr. Jekyll/Mr.Hyde; Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is <em>Youer than You</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3752" title="395021_10150490235663845_625168844_8772424_374848112_n" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/395021_10150490235663845_625168844_8772424_374848112_n.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Maybe if you are stripped of all you can&#8217;t live without what remains will be distinctly YOU. No illusions, no pretentions. To bare our souls each day. To detoxify, so to speak. Quite terrifying I&#8217;m sure. But I think we owe ourselves to be that kind of person. To be able to perform and get through all the clamor, the confusion the ups and downs of each day without any help but our own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3748" title="401012_10150458878828845_625168844_8632068_529327497_n" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/401012_10150458878828845_625168844_8632068_529327497_n.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="428" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What is the new year but a mark of the passing time? An end of one and the start of another. Why does Man give such importance to endings and beginnings? New Year, anniversaries, birthdays, death days. It seems we just don&#8217;t get enough of celebrations. Especially the Filipinos, we celebrate EVERYTHING. Feast of various saints, not to mention the various celebrations of other religions, ramadan, chinese new year, diwali (?), a baby&#8217;s first step, a child&#8217;s first day of school, the first word uttered, monsary (month anniversary), second monsary, (third monsary?) . It just goes without saying that filipinos are a thankful lot. We recognize our blessings and we just have to say &#8216;thank you&#8217; in our own way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Strangely enough the coming new year makes us think of the things we have done the previous year and plan the inevitable &#8216;new years resolution&#8217;. I don&#8217;t think this pattern of thinking is coincidental. Deep inside we all want to be someone different, someone better than we are a year ago.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I always say life is a constant celebration. Waking up each day is enough to cause a street party! (woohoo!) Being able to experience LIFE, to actually live it and not merely existing for some mundane reason is all that matters. How are we to appreciate the magnificence of a birth of a child or the simple joy of carefree laughter or the warm smile of a friend without pain of loss or even anger? How do we know something can begin without knowing there has to be an end?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3744" title="383169_10150404473268845_625168844_8417485_422471250_n" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/383169_10150404473268845_625168844_8417485_422471250_n.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="450" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nobody told me it can&#8217;t be done so I did it.</p>
<p>Sometimes we are limited by the things people around us keep telling us. We become immersed in that culture of mediocrity and conformity. Limited only by the things we see. It takes some amount of imagination to break away from all that hinders us to be who we are meant to be. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ON WHY I ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The point is not the answers themselves but the mental development achieved through striving for those answers. We&#8217;re all complex flawed creatures stumbling around in the dark. Perhaps our minds, little transcient bubbles of consciousness adrift in this overwhelmingly hostile universe need an inflated sense of their own importance, of the logic of the universe, in order to summon up the will to survive. Perhaps we will all be driven mad by the truth. Or perhaps stripped of illusion at last, we will all become SANE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3737" title="392776_10150363827048845_625168844_8278875_1634070277_n" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/392776_10150363827048845_625168844_8278875_1634070277_n.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="324" /></p>
<p>It seems that life is NOT without a sense of irony. Just when everything starts falling into place it falls apart. I guess life just has its own twists and turns. Some turns are surprisingly for the better&#8211;some are just surprising.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The past few months had a dreamlike quality. Life was rather easy. I just knew it could not last, that somehow something hideous is waiting for me in the next bend.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sometimes I think we must not expect happiness. It is not something we deserve. When life goes well, it is a sudden gift; it cannot possibly last forever.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But then what are we to hope for if not hope for happiness? Hope for an early painless death?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pathetic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are a million things in this world I&#8217;d rather do. There&#8217;s a whole world out there waiting for me. I&#8217;m not about to be bothered by a few difficulties.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I think it was the sudden deaths of the people I knew that jolted me into awareness once again. It reminded me that life is short. Too short to be bothered by petty things like false appearances, minor inconveniences and the constant hubbub of humanity around us. Rather we must pursue the things that have greater impact. We must look beyond our borders, and not to be limited by the things we see around us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sometimes we are limited only by our own minds. There is really NOTHING WE CAN NOT DO if we put our minds to it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>IF WE DREAM WHY NOT DREAM BIG?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; RH Bill, RH Bill on the wall, tell me who is the fairest of them all? Needless to say I just have to have my say on this matter. [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3707" title="rhbill2" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/rhbill2-481x700.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="252" />RH Bill, RH Bill on the wall, tell me who is the fairest of them all?</p>
<p>Needless to say I just have to have my say on this matter. So I started to read the full content of the bill, some 25 pages of superflous words, technical jargons and what-not. Upon reaching 20 or so pages I was in a stupor, my own bills never got to a maximum of 3 pages long which by then is delivered by an angry man at my door with a murderous look on his face.</p>
<p>Seriously though, this is entirely different matter. As much as I wanted to discuss the full content of the bill, I can&#8217;t. My conscience can&#8217;t handle boring my readers to death.</p>
<p>I have always been a pro-RH Bill kinda person. Well, that&#8217;s just me. Then after I read the bill I have no idea why some people are vigorously opposed to it. It merely served to legalized the use of contraceptives which most people are already using anyway. Plus it demands the government and the private sector to disseminate the information about Reproductive Health which needed especially by those in the poorer parts of the country. Basically it enables the poor gain access to those information only the few have access. Is that so bad?</p>
<p>Kind of selfish don&#8217;t you think? I think this merely supports the already existing laws about equality and freedom to choose. This bill was never really made to control population, its main goal is NOT to improve economic growth though these can come as a secondary result, its main goal is the health of our citizens, the women especially. Its main goal is to minimize pregnancy-related deaths and the improved quality of life of the individual Filipino born in a family with fewer members but better fed, better-educated to be better-citizens. Again, is that so bad?</p>
<p>Also empirical evidence shows that poverty is higher among big families. Anyone can see it, more mouths to feed for the same amount of money, less attention given to children because there&#8217;s just so many of them. But its not fair to blame the nations bad economy on its poor citizens. Its like telling your left hand, &#8220;get lost, you make me look bad!&#8221;.</p>
<p>However, nothing in this world is perfect, including the RH Bill.<img class="size-full wp-image-3706 alignright" title="9YBNvvj304" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/9YBNvvj304.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p>As I have said earlier there is little evidence to support the notion that this bill aims to control population or improve economic growth. Also passing this bill is not going to be cheap. Our precious little budget must be reallocated taking some away high priority medical and food needs and give some to those potentially deadly devices. Some studies show that some birth control methods like pills and IUD can kill embryos, still humans and equally worthy of respect.  Thus making the bill unconstitutional. Some argue that there&#8217;s no law prohibiting the use of contraceptive or engaging in family planning anyway. Besides, the taxpayers&#8217; money should not be used to purchase devices that is potentially dangerous and immoral.</p>
<p>All in all, I think this bill is an over reaction. We all know whats good for us. There&#8217;s no need to create another bill in order to do what we want to do anyway. It&#8217;s absurd! It just goes without saying that our leaders do not trust us with our own welfare. They think they know whats best for us. But maybe they are right. Maybe we do need a bit of help. Whats giving up a few comforts for the greater good?</p>
<p>Which do you choose?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3609" title="mideocruz" src="http://jillianestrellado.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mideocruz.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="289" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Its said art should unsettle, it should jolt us awake, shake us out of our complacency. However, some artists like Mideo Cruz is taking his art quite literally and a bit too seriously. In his exhibit &#8220;Kulo&#8221;  at CCP, featured what he called &#8220;Poleteismo&#8221; “Polytheism,” “is about the worship of relics and how idolatry evolves through history and modern culture.” It included Catholic relics with pop culture and phallic objects. The said art exhibit is now closed due to the death threats being received by the CCP officers about the said artwork.</p>
<p>The artwork itself enraged the bishops, no surprise there. They say these works are obscene, perverse and vindictive of satanic possession. And of course, our congressmen are not to be outdone, they want the CCP investigated. The last thing they should do is to upset the general public since the CCP is paid for by the taxpayers money who are generally Christians.</p>
<p>The masses enraged by this wanted no more of his art wants him excommunicated or send him to a permanent exile.</p>
<p>I say this issue has gone too far. This is puny compared to the real issues of the day like the corruption of some of our bishops and congressmen. Why waste our time discussing a bit of art when those real thieves walk away with the taxpayers money unscathed?  I say a plot set the real issue aside.</p>
<p>Besides the matter of Cruz’s art is debatable. It really depends on one’s point of view. Maybe his intention isn’t really to offend the religious but merely to open their eyes to what had blinded them from the truth. But who is the more offensive the artist who disfigures the name of God figuratively speaking or those who spat him in the face through petty robbery thereby defiling his name literally?</p>
<p>It would seem that like the Pharisees or the Damasos out there, we are making up for a lifetime of breaking the ten commandments. As if showing off vehemence toward one particular sin would allow us to enter the heavenly gates and be greeted with arms wide open.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graphic design holds great position of importance along with website designing although both processes are different with each other. Graphics is more associated with the creative part whereas website design with the coding side. There combination leads to a site that is good looking and appealing. Those who fail to recognize the importance of application of graphic design in websites, fail to generate the sites that are attractive. Adding visual appeal to a site goes a long way in deciding their success level.</p>
<p>From visual aspect, graphics are of paramount importance on a site. A picture can convey many messages or information that sometimes words fail to tell. It is easy for people viewing a site to connect better to graphical designs. Sometimes these designs establishes strong emotional bonding with the customers. It is obvious that visitors like to see images that are good looking and attractive and comeback to such sites for regular viewing. Adding and updating the pictures on regular basis is an extra benefit for the website owners. This goal can be very well achieved with the help of graphic designing.</p>
<p>Graphics provide a sense of professionalism to a website. Therefore it is important for site designers to have its knowledge. Many times a site might be coded very well with advanced javascript functions and fail to get visual appeal. So if you want to give that polished and professional look to your site, don&#8217;t ignore the element of graphic designing.</p>
<p>Apart from looking good a website should be high on usability quotient also. Visitors should be able to use it in the manner it was meant to be. Keep it easy on navigation and also the visitors should be able to locate the desirable content in it. Try to avoid going overboard with graphics and keep it moderate and within a specific range so that there is maximum website usability.</p>
<p>In other words you can make your web design user-friendly with graphic design elements, and give a professional overall look. Online competition to grab the target customer base is highly competitive, therefore to present your company in different yet attractive way is essential.</p>
<p>You can view graphic design portfolio of the designing company, which would give the gist of their work quality and standard. It also gives an idea whether their designing team would be able to do justice to your designing project or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The role of graphic designers has increased manifold. They are now being hired by all business owners. With internet playing a great platform for all online business purposes, it’s now become essential for business owners to develop websites with such a graphical touch that they appeal to the visitors straightaway. A graphic design agency can be the part of an entire graphic designing package and it does hold its importance as something that is fully nurtured with creativity. Experienced and talents pools of graphic designers are the creative fuels in this regard.</p>
<p>Website designing is often said to be a creative process altogether. While designing a website, you need to follow certain predefined rules though. It’s because, you just can’t create anything that flies away from coding. However, experiments are always encouraged in the segment.</p>
<p>A graphically rich site always has an edge over sites that lack in it. Graphically sound sites can also help owners get increased traffic. For a business there are however many contributing factors including promotion and aggressive brand awareness creation. But the role of the website through which all these are performed also need to be highly identified. Hence, smart entrepreneurs try to build their sites with the help of professional firms that are experts in designing, developing, graphics creation and all other necessary fields.</p>
<p>Making huge profits in the competitive cyberspace now depends on how you select your web and graphic designing firm. If you search the web, you can easily find out a number of web and graphic design firms that can really work wonder for you. But it’s wise on your part that you do all your homework well before you commit with anyone. The web is also full of professional corporate website design services providers who are smart at making mere tall claims.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many graphic designers out there but only a few can really say that they are successful in what they do. A lot are still struggling to have the clients they need to grow their business. Even with years of being graphic designers, just a few can really say that they are getting bigger and better.   So what is the problem for those who cannot make the cut? For many designers, failing to get their business off the ground comes from three major mistakes made by them. If you are a budding graphic designer, it would be to your benefit if you know these important mistakes so you can avoid doing it. And for those already in the industry for quite some time now, this would be good time for you to reassess your strategy and include these mistakes in the things that you should NOT do.   Quoting Too Soon!   This is a total turn off for many customers and prospects. Before you could even propose to them your rate, you should be able to make them see your value first. When prospects ask you how you work, they are not asking for your rate so stop yourself from quoting it. What they really want to know is the quality of your work and if your type of service fit what they are looking for. For example, if you are a brochure printing designer, never tell your rate before your prospect could even see whether they would let you start printing brochures for them. It is all about your worth to them first. When they are clear about your capacity to provide them what they need, then you can bargain for your value without any challenge.   Follow-up!   Many opportunities to design have been lost just because a graphic designer failed to follow up. Do not let other graphic artists steal your clients right under your nose. Be ready to follow up after the initial consultation. And if ever there is a reason you cannot make the deadline you have provided, make sure that you let your clients know so they will not be left hanging. And this goes also when you make the proposal. You have to follow up on it after a day or two. The bottom line is to stay connected with your clients from the initial meeting up to the very end that you will hand them the final output. This would ensure the feeling of security and assurance from your clients that you are looking after their needs and wants.   Continue Marketing!   Do not stop marketing just because you have enough customers right now. Even if business is at its peak, it does not mean that you have to stop marketing altogether. It is very important to market everyday and regularly. You have to think about the time when all your customers’ requirements would be finished. You need to have a steady supply of clients and customers to be able to sustain your business.   Learning to profit from your business comes from knowing the mistakes that you make and avoiding them. It will require focus and effort on your part to fix the problems. But when you are able to do so, you can have a practice that not only works but can send in a lot of opportunities for you to grow your business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graphic design can be a boon for your website or curse if done wrongly. Visual pleasure is the strongest asset and quality of any website which makes them a visitor attracting medium. No matter how good your online content and information is useful for the end user, if it is not presented well and have unattractive graphic design, visitors would not devote enough time to see your website and would exit it quickly. Graphic designing is an art it is the designer’s job of combining art with technology for better functionality.</p>
<p>A website has only few seconds to impress the site visitor, an image conveys thoughts and can be a substitute for thousands of words too. Therefore graphics on the home page has to be eye-catching and sensible enough to keep the potential customers hooked to your website for long.</p>
<p>For better website speed try to stick to graphics of lower resolution, you can have high-resolution graphics if it’s necessary for the website. In case your graphic image is too big, it can be broken down to small modules so that loading is faster. The graphic that is being used should be related to the website and its content and should not look out of place. Not all computers of the target customers are equipped with faster downloading speed and better connectivity, so keep the graphic design simple that can be assessed by simple connection as well.</p>
<p>Before designing the final graphic, consider the dimension of the graphic images, and then these images are assigned sizes by specified width and height during the process of tagging. This procedure makes sure that exact position of the graphic image placement is known to the browser. It helps in instantaneous displaying of text along with graphics that is being loaded. So the website visitors can read the text and see the graphic image simultaneously. Assigning all images description is essential which can be done by alt-tag function for each image separately.</p>
<p>This option is extremely useful in times when a visitor is not able to view the graphic image for some reason, here they can at least have a short description about the graphic design. Good content and graphic design go hand-in-hand for website success, putting up images where content is required would not serve the purpose.</p>
<p>Well-designed graphic design can form long lasting positive impression on the visitors motivating them to come to your website again and again. The home page is the most important page of your website, so make it attractive and information source giving a gist about what your website is all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we all are aware graphic designing can be found in many areas of our life which is the combination of graphical images and texts. Usage of graphics is seen in many fields like posters, newsletters, brochures and logos. The field of graphic design contains many features and tools for designing. Graphic designers explore these things for creating good graphic designs.</p>
<p>Communicate to your graphic designer to make graphic design layout which is clutter-free and simple to understand. It should have clean and sophisticated look in order to attract the customers. Here the color selection of the designs has to be careful as it plays significant role in making the design attractive and appealing. Designers can follow the corporate color chart for this purpose. It is always advisable to remain consistent in all the advertising media you select, as this would create a positive impression to the users about your company. Experts suggest remaining selective and restrictive in color usage in a single design. Maximum of 2 to 3 color combinations can be used.</p>
<p>Internet is full of free graphical fonts that can be used for designing of websites. Selection can be made according to the design requirement and suitability of the site, also the fonts can be selected likewise. In case of headings and titles fonts of bolder size and color can be selected. Avoid using too many fonts altogether as it creates a messy and confused look.</p>
<p>As a sales technique companies use graphical design elements on company profiles, product brochures, menus, magazines, etc. Along with texts, using images to illustrate your company ‘s products or services makes your customers happy and more enthusiast.</p>
<p>In color combinations of graphic designs, contrast colors are used in fonts and background. For instance if the background is lighter than use darker fonts. Black and white is most commonly used color combination. If you want to come up with perfect images and line of text then design the graphic design with an eye of the customer. This would help in taking right decision at right places. A web page graphic design is considered ideal if it succeeds in attracting and holding visitors’ attention right from start to end of the page.</p>
<p>Experts recommend that during web page development, page elements should be placed in such a manner that the eye movement of the visitor is in ‘Z’ way. This works well for advertisements designed using graphics. Allocation of some white space in a web page gives needed rest and space to vision of the visitors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this era of internet, every company or product has a website of its own. Web Development is the skill or process of creating or developing such professional websites. Websites may be either static with just some textual information, or may be database driven for complex functionalities. Web development must entail good web design, graphic design to create attractive websites. Graphic design comes to a great use in the process of web development.</p>
<p>Graphic Design is a visual communication means, an art, a profession, and a process of bonding text, images, signs, symbols, photography, colors and diagrams to communicate an effective language with a viewer.</p>
<p>For a website it is important that the advertising materials should be well designed to create the initial visual impact before the user reads the actual information or explores the website. This catchy and attractive design can be made by graphic design. Graphic design involves use of good and soothing color schemes, use of graphics, thumbnails in an effective way matching the layout of the website. As the number of companies, products and services increase, an effective eye catching design of the website is a critical element for marketing a business.

<p>The use of graphic design is to make it easy for the user, as an enhancement for textual description, and is an effort to assist readers in their understanding of any particular concept more clearly and compelling through visuals, pictures and designs. The use of graphics on websites have become convenient and feasible since about 1990, as the internet speed increased dramatically and internet browsers being capable of viewing large images. Graphics used by websites are logos, banners, advertisements, navigation buttons, etc. in gif format and in addition modern browsers today supports jpeg, and swf formats as well. This makes websites fabricate and interface their web design much more attractive and outstanding, rather then plain text content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are some of the more important components of a successful marketing strategy: First, you must clearly identify your target market. Second, you have to research on that specific target market. And third, you have to develop specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time bound objectives. More often than not, these key elements are not present in most marketing campaigns. Without a cohesive plan, which includes a timeline for critical action points, only luck will save the marketing effort from becoming a failure, or worse, a tarnished reputation.</p>
<p>Marketing plans should not just exist in the heads of management executives because they can easily get lost for reasons that executives leave or they forget everything about it. These plans should be manualized; or better yet, written in booklet printing. The overall strategic marketing plan should be the bible for any business. The marketing plan should include in its outline a goal, deadline, and specific actions to take to achieve the goal. Call it the company&#8217;s road map if you like. And as such, they should be in color booklet format.</p>
<p>That, however, is only the beginning of the plan. Each one of the individual efforts outlined in the marketing plan should have its own detailed plan for the who, what, where, when, why and how of the plan&#8217;s execution for maximum return on investment and objectives. These details should all be outlined in the print booklets for example. Although most of these six components (who, what, where&#8230;) are inextricably inter-related and a change in one of them can cause a ripple effect amongst the other five, the one most important criteria is the &#8220;why&#8221; &#8211; or the objective for a particular marketing endeavor. Once we determine the desired outcome, the other five components can be better defined and targeted to meet that outcome.</p>
<p>The following criteria should be used to define the objectives of the marketing campaign:</p>
<p>Specific: An objective should be specific. It defines what needs to be accomplished in very detailed terms. For instance, an objective of being the Number 1 in the industry is not exactly specific. It is in fact, very broad and difficult to measure. Number 1 in what aspect? Why don’t you re-formulate this to read: Increase gross sales by 20% from the previous year.</p>
<p>Measurable: Have a metric in place to be able to measure the success of the goal. If you can answer &#8220;How much&#8230;?&#8221; or &#8220;How many&#8230;?&#8221; you have a measurable goal. In the above example, 20% increase in gross sales is both measurable and specific.</p>
<p>Attainable: It is easy to dream but you have to make sure that you have the resources available at your disposal to make the goal a reality. Is a 20% objective attainable? You have to be grounded and you have to take into account all the factors to make an attainable objective.</p>
<p>Realistic: The overall outlook for your product and services in relation to what is happening in the world economically and socially, and what you are willing to do in mind, do you believe that this goal can be reached? A bit of a stretch is an acceptable challenge; shooting for the moon is not.</p>
<p>Time-bound: Specify a deadline by which the goal should be reached. You can also set milestones along the way for when metrics of your progress should be examined.</p>
<p>True, a marketing plan should have everything in place. But for more results to be achieved, one must be able to work with the objectives mentioned above in order to provide the company with the best marketing campaign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the elements of success in a business is the presentation. Presentation is half of the game – some might say it is even more. Have a polished look and you already have the attention of your potential customers. After all, what kind of customer would want to avail themselves of products or services from a business which can’t even bother to have a good looking image?</p>
<p>Professional graphic design is an important piece of the formula. Making sure everything that needs layout is well designed can be the master key to success. Take note of the letterheads, business cards, envelopes, websites, posters, banners and logos. All these may seem like very small details but these comprise of the overall look of the business. These are the little details which tell all about the business. Examining for these small details is definitely of utmost importance.</p>
<p>For example, a website is an important part of every business today. No business is able to fully compete unless there is a fully functional website available. Of course, website creation may sound too basic today but having a professional website designer to actually layout and work on the site makes a big difference.</p>
<p>A professional website designer knows how to create a website, paying close attention to the creative and the technical aspect. A professional website designer has a good grasp on what the target niche might find appealing. The layout and the colors will all be chosen carefully. The page will be created by making sure it is completely readable and navigable by the visitors. Many attempt to create their own website only to end up creating one that is all cluttered and unreadable because of its color and layout.</p>
<p>As for the technical aspect, a professional website designer knows how to create codes and plug-ins to come up with a stable and useful website. There are websites that though visually appealing, fail to be visited by its target because it is unstable and goes offline most of the time. Making it available 24/7 is important. Also, the search engine optimization of the site lies in the technical aspect. The professional knows techniques that will make the site more searchable.</p>
<p>With high quality graphic design a professional looking website can be created. The result will be more viewers and more prospective clients. Having professional graphic design is like sending a message to the public that the business is ready to serve their needs. The company means business and the quality of the services and products they produce is of top quality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graphic design has become an important part of many industries. People are basically visual creatures. Quality and quantity may be important but oftentimes, it is the visual appeal of the business that becomes the striking point. It adds a competitive edge to the business, making it interesting to the public.</p>
<p>Graphics come with many applications to every small business. It starts with the branding. In order to create an interesting and compelling logo, there must be graphic design involved. A good logo design consists of simple lines, shapes and colors which can tell what the business is all about. It does not need to tell what the company is in its entirety. An overview of the company is enough.</p>
<p>Another application of graphics is with the posters the business might use to advertise any event or promo they have planned. For example; some stores want to hold seasonal sales in order to clear out their inventory. Some want to be better known and hold sales where they offer really low prices on selected merchandise. All these will be useless unless there is something done to inform the public. In these cases, businesses can have posters laid out and printed. These are then placed in conspicuous places for everyone to see. The idea here is to have a poster which will strike the attention of the public and make them read what’s in the poster. The poster or a related graphics work may be the basis for print ads or other media as well. The design of the poster must be interesting and clear for everyone to see.</p>
<p>Banners also require something to attract the attention of the people. Hence, it requires graphic design as well. A banner must be bold enough to be clearly seen by everyone.</p>
<p>Aside from printed materials intended for advertising and marketing, graphics is also applied when it comes to garments. Small businesses want to advertise their business on almost any medium possible. The uniforms of their employees as well as give-away shirts need designing. Many garment designs must come with a good play with colors, lines and shapes. Wearing the details also make good outdoor advertising.</p>
<p>There are a lot of applications for graphic design in the business world. It brings out a competitive edge in a business, bringing more attention to the products and services being offered.
