Okay, so yesterday i decided to sign up for 3 courses.
One's a two-day seminar/workshop (lord, please make sure it's fun, and i stay awake through the two full days), and another two on Udemy. With my SkillsFuture Credit. You know, lifelong learning, government sponsored, subsidized etc. Which I'm honestly very thankful for. I mean, so many of us find it so difficult to juggle our various responsibilities. Coping is difficult enough, much less find the time to do more more more and constantly push ourselves to become a better version of who we are. Read more books, talk to more people, spend more time with our family and loved ones, eat healthy, exercise, and the list goes on. So actually not having to worry about "Spending" the money and not utilising whatever you paid for is no longer an issue, because the government has again, taken care of that. So when the opportunity comes, don't worry about it, just sign up and claim on the skillsfuture site. It's really easy to navigate! Cheers! On this day in 1918, at 11.00am - the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - the First World War came to an end. Wikipedia says: The poppy is worn around the time of Remembrance Sunday (traditionally from All Souls' Day (November 2) until the latter of Remembrance Day (November 11) or Remembrance Sunday) The words "Poppy Appeal" is on the centre. Observation through parades and silence are held in the United Kingdom and the Common wealth. Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth as a day "to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts". It is held on the second Sunday in November, the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. in 1918. This year it's on 13 November 2016, which is today.
The honor the countrymen give to those who have sacrificed for their countries. Perhaps people feel that soldiers in Singapore aren't given the same respect. But after all, we haven't actually been "tested" through a real war. And I hope that day never comes. But other than that, salute. EVERYONE does it. Okay, anyone that matters anyway. Before i expound, look at the following logos: Logos above and analysis extracted from: http://themgroupcreative.com/logo-design-colors-guide-consumers/ Role of Colors: Colors are a key consideration in brand and logo development. The palette selected for the logo identity and supporting colors used throughout various communication pieces are intentional, whether to evoke emotion, provide visual cues or collectively tell a story. Emotions of Colors: We usually associate fast food brands with warm, bright colors because they catch our attention. Vibrant tones are, in fact, well received by just about everyone. Imagine if McDonald’s changed out the golden arches for muted blue ones. The restaurant would lose the pizzazz and immediacy of the promise. The arches would blend in with the sky and competitors’ brands would stand out and take the lead. (maybe that's why Taco Bell all but died out in Singapore) Blue represents security and solid stability. Because of this, banks often use blue in their visual brand marks. The light blue color Pepsi used in the Pepsi Refresh project was a nice modern blue, which stands for health, wellness, and balance. Such a cheater you are, Pepsi. As we all know, green has become a very important color and word in the last decade. Companies that want to be known as “green” often incorporate the color into their palette. On the other end of the spectrum, red is one of the colors most widely used in advertising. It is everywhere from fast food to lipstick, and red stands for passion, love, food, and vitality. |
