Feedback. Marketing Directo e Interactivo

Feedback offers a selection of the best actions in direct and interactive marketing sent directly to the general public or to a segmented audience, with the purpose of obtaning a direct response or interaction from the targeted persons. Feedback presents several examples of direct response marketing bringing together projects from various disciplines in a single book, including: relational marketing, direct marketing, guerrilla marketing, interactive marketing, etc. These specialities are illustrated with projects by agencies such as Mr. John Sample, Remo D6, Taxi Studio Ltd., Ros & Asociados, Villarros�s, Herederos de Rowan, among others, based on direct marketing, together with others based on interactive marketing by agencies such as Wieden+Kennedy, OgilvyInterative, Forsman & Bodenfors, Big Spaceship, Cuatic, Minnim� The pieces of work shown here belong to clients such as Sony, Amnesty International, Electronic Arts, Fila, Starbucks, Nike, Toyota, IKEA, Mango, etc., but one may also find examples of work for more modest clients, such as self-promotion campaigns by the agencies themselves or even wedding invites. The purpose of Feedback is to illustrate the philosophy of integral marketing -also known as 360� marketing - to which most agencies and studios are currently turning to. That is why the book is divided in 5 chapters, i.e. Low Cost, Concept, 360�, Technique and Strategy. The first chapter, Low Cost, includes projects made on a low budget such as wedding invites, greetings or self-promotion pieces, among other examples. These prove that creativity can be stretched enough to create effective and efficient campaigns with a small investment, by adding a complicity component and interacting with the recipient. The Concept chapter presents a portfolio of projects in which the recipients� implication becomes directly related to the concept which the product / service / brand campaign beholds, making it especially memorable as the user revives the concept experience. This goes to prove that bi-directional communication between sender and recipient, together with the active participation of both, become the best way to deliver a message. Under 360� we continue to talk about the feedback philosophy, although this time applied to integral communication, offering an overview from different fields. Interaction has no limits � from a website to a reflection on a building front. This fact is showcased in examples such as the ambient marketing performance in a mall in which children are able to play in front of a tactile screen by using their own bodies and movements. Other campaigns may also imply printed advertising, call centres or other direct response channels. Under Technique, the showcased examples feature an outstanding component of technical innovation � i.e. A window display which reacts to pedestrians� movements; websites in which users can communicate not only by using their keyboard but also their webcam� Resorting to this kind of technical solutions provides a great creativity potential allowing the development of campaigns in which feedback becomes an added value for the user, turning him into an ally of the message. The last chapter based on Strategy covers campaigns which are skillfull enough to reach their audience directly. The evidence goes to show that, in certain cases, messages which are directed to very specific audiences are more effective than those which are broadcasted through the mass media. We hope that Feedback serves as a source of inspiration for designers and creatives alike.

The first book to explore the vital, commercial relationship between design, marketing, and target audiences. DemoGraphics is the first series of design books to examine how successful designs target specific audiences. Where other design books explore the �what?� and �why?� of design, DemoGraphics: Packaging dissects the �who?� Through a huge selection of diverse examples, the authors examine how packaging is designed to appeal to specific groups based on gender, age, socio-economic group, disposable income, profession and shopping habits. Case studies and interviews with designers and brand owners explain how and why specific choices have been made, why it works and how it evolved from a prototype or concept to form successful, user-centred design. DemoGraphics: Packaging also offers designers a palette of ideas, materials, and inspirations with which to design their own targeted packaging. This is a vital text for both designers and brand, advertising, and marketing professionals and students. About The Author Mark Hampshire and Keith Stephenson are the directors of Absolute Zero Degrees, a multidisciplinary agency designing corporate identities, packaging, books, wallpaper, and interiors accessories. They are the co-authors of Circles and Dots, Stripes and Squares for RotoVision. They live in London, UK.

Pixa��o: S�o Paulo Signature

Despite laws, pixa��os have taken over S�o Paulo. Literally meaning �trace� or �stain� and dating back in its contemporary form to the mid-1980s, pixa��e is a striking form of graffiti unique to the city that developed when Sao Paulo writers began creating imaginary calligraphic signatures influenced by hybrid blackletter, historic letterforms and the logos of heavy metal and hardcore bands. Claiming the architectural facades of the city as their canvas, the omnipresent pixa��es are a true calligraphic shock that have caused a deep aesthetic transformation of the face of Sao Paulo. With more than 125 photos as well as a detailed analysis of the phenomenon, S�o Paulo Signature deciphers for the very ?rst time an unparalleled graphic universe. �The astute analysis which is expanded upon in this volume opened my myopic eyes to a system of writing and ethic of creation that rises above even the most high-spirited and emblematic American graffiti.� Steven Heller

The New Big Book of Color

The Big Book of Color in Design became a top seller in the graphics world. As we approached the new book, our goal was to make an even better volume. One change you will notice is that color formulae shown for each piece now includes not only CMYK for printed pieces, but also RGB for Internet use. So, for the designer who sees a great color combination, and wants something "just like that," the process is simple: the color mix is right there for you to use. Another addition to this book is a brief commentary on each piece. The more experienced designer may well find the notes interesting, but they are aimed at younger designers and are a learning tool a couple of steps beyond the classroom. I hope you find this book to be useful and full of ideas for what I call "solitary brainstorming."
