Image
Everyone has their own dream that they want to do. For an example as a entrepreneur, they might be to create their own design or brand. For me, if i got a chance to create something brand new, it would be a hijab called as Jasmine. Why Jasmine? because Jasmine is a name of a flower. The character of a Jasmine that is so beautiful and have a nice scent. Beside, flower symbolic to woman's favorite and the brand named Jasmine can be so suitable for the hijab's brand. The Jasmine flower also o riginated in the tropical regions of Asia but is now grown worldwide. I choose hijab as a new brand because muslim woman nowadays wear hijab everyday and the brand also influence them to buy the hijab. Hijab is not only for muslim woman but it is also to woman out there that want to protect their face, skin from sunlight and also a fashion because the pattern and color that attract the people to buy and wear it. 💖

Whats wrong with this billboard?

Image
Nak Putih billboard had catch the society's attention by putting their billboard along the roadside in order to promote their product. This is called as one of the marketing strategies. For what i can see, the billboard actually is not good to be called as the way on how they want to promote their product because the advertisement does not give the society the actual information for their product Nak Putih. Beside, the model of the billboard is a man who is wearing a songkok. To be honest, not all the man insist to be white and fair. To have a fair skin is very synonym and common to the woman. The second thing is, they put the billboard in inverted way and i don't really understand what is their motive by putting the billboard into that way. If this billboard was made to attract and catch people attention, they succeed because this billboard has gone viral due to the arrangement :)

Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?

Image
Zebras Zebras was an animal with a black body and white stripes. For me, the color of white symbolize the purity of everything in the world. White color also gave meaning about on how the white color dominate the other color. White color symbolize kind, courage and purity of anything while black color gave people other side of thinking.  Black color gave it own symbolization which mean elegant, bold and brave. The color plays an important role which is this color can made give the positive and negative vibes that naturally we had in ourselves because both color need each other to be complete. Somehow at the end of the day,  it depends on how and what you think :)
