Super Advertising Slogans & Super Costs
By Naseem Javed
Advertising slogans or taglines pushing sales are great for getting a customer's attention as they often tangle and hold them hostage for a second or two. Some taglines catch the user's attention, but most are simply confusing, causing them to 'escape the trap' and run away.

O P I N I O N
From the previous weeks, it appears that a great majority of graphic designers do not protect their design. Nevertheless, some do.
In case you do protect your design, how do you protect it?
Share your opinion http://www.icograda.org/web/opinion
F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
From a previous poll, it appeared that a great majority of graphic designers don't protect their designs. Although it seems the major problem is the availability of relevant information, we would like to know a little more about the situation.
You don't protect your design because
It is ineffective - 30%
It is too expensive - 23%
You don't know how to do it and whom to ask for it - 50%
Totals shown may be more or less than 100% due to rounding.

http://www.era05.com
Era 05 is the joint congress of Icograda, ICSID and IFI.

Organised by 16 design-related organisations in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, the Era05 events will be held 22-28 September 2005 in the four Nordic countries.
The overall objective of Era05 is to explore design as a diverse and holistic approach to problem solving, as a methodology and as a core ingredient in innovative processes. The conference will raise awareness about issues of social responsibility and the designer's potential to contribute solutions to problems of global concern. The event will be an international forum for information exchange and collaboration among designers from the fields of visual communication, industrial design and architecture.

that you are desperately eager to share your findings or views with your colleagues.
