The evolution of logo design began in the 1800's when it was applied for branding strategy. The evolution secret of the custom logo design is beneath an interesting story. It is popular story of a curio dealer named as Marcus Samuel. He established his business in the city of London for a long period of time he availed thriving results out of it. He began his business with a range of things including jewel oil kerosene etc. within few years he successfully established his company worldwide. & the time came in the year 1897 when his business was known by the name of Shell Transport Trading Company. Here the entire company was represented by the means of a simple seashell. This was the company's trademark or in other words 'logo'.

It was the same time when a new logo design popularly known as the "Rock of Gibraltar" was introduced to represent Prudential Financial Incorporation.

My experience with Daylilies began for me in my West Virginia garden. Although there had been gardening of the most delightful nature during the ten years we lived in Chile South America there had been no daylilies. When we returned to West Virginia the only daylilies I found at that time were the common roadside one the sweet old lemon lily treasured for very early flowers. Each year they were among the first to bloom will mingle sweet scented light yellow flowers among nodding bells of snowflakes spikes of white fraxinella blue starred spikes of camassia.

Then a friend who lived in their backyard landscape garden selected for me a number to give successive bloom. That was a revelation for previously Id thought the daylily bloomed only in late June for only a short time.

One of those selected was a good old time variety cherished because it in flower long before any of the so called "early" ones of more recent introduction. This was the first to open of the list selected. It added so much interest among self sown drifts of white sweet rocket.

An additional extra early sort was had which grew in grassy clumps sent up bright golden orange to orange flowers along a borders edge.

Supercharging your Copywriting Skills by Louis R Burns

I was recently reading a book titled "Talent is Overrated What Really Separates World Class Performers from Everybody Else. " In it I learned a few lessons for copywriters.

The point of it was that it's not innate talent or experience that determine greatness. Most people would say it's hard work that makes people good at things but that's not it either.

The author says the big difference is something he calls "deliberate practice. " It's more than regular practice. A good way to explain that is in considering how most adult city league soccer teams practice. A few practice deliberately most either just practice or do nothing.

Most adult soccer teams here don't have a coach. If they practice as a team many don't they simply divide up into 2 teams set up two small goals then play scrimmage until people get tired of it or the time runs out. Do we get better doing that Not really. Is it fun Most of the time. That's why they do it.

A team I once played on was able to recognize we needed to do some skill specific drills. We practiced playing "keep away" where the goal is to maintain possession of the ball. We put goals in the middle that had to be dribbled through. We put a limit on the number of times we could touch the ball before passing. We played offense against defense so we'd recognize game scenarios.

Challenging ourselves with these drills made us better than other teams. We ended up moving up divisions each year that I played with them. I've seen other teams do that as well. It's really not rocket science to be better than most everyone else. Deliberate practice will do the trick.

How about copywriters You've probably heard you ought to copy other good letters so you absorb the language. There were 3 models for deliberate practicing researched the music model the chess model the sports model.

Music Model

In music you know exactly what the final outcome is supposed to be. You rehearse that over over. If you get stuck on a part you break it down rehearse that until it's perfect. In copywriting that's what we're doing when we copy other good letters. We can do that with any element like headlines or offers too.

Chess Model

This is the "what would you do in this situation" model. This is also how Harvard Business School teaches. . . through case studies. You look at specific scenarios try to figure out what you would do. Then you compare that to what happened in real life.

For a copywriter we can re write letters. How would you have handled a particular selling approach differently You can pick a product write a letter for it then see how it compares to the real one. You can critique letters if you don't want to actually write an entirely new one.

You can work on smaller elements too. How would you rewrite a headline bullets or an offer There are plenty of smaller opportunities if you want to test yourself against pay per click or catalog copy. Take something you already own write some catalog copy to compare to the actual.

Sports Model

Sports teams practice specific skills. In copywriting you can build a swipe file analyze each letter. You can take courses to improve. You can read books on marketing or writing style. You can cross train in other fields like sales story telling NLP hypnosis logic debate. Get a mentor or a coach to help.

If you've been wondering how to improve take heart. You now have plenty to keep you busy take your copywriting skills to the to the next level.

Why Desktops Are Better Than Laptops by Greg Black

There are a lot of things to consider when you go shopping for a new computer. Should you get a laptop or a desktop The fact is that for the same price you'll get a lot more out of a desktop than you will a laptop. If you need portability though a laptop is the best option. Let's take a look at a few things that make desktops a better investment overall.

Price Differences

I think it's pretty much common knowledge at this point that laptops cost more than desktops. But have you ever wondered why Well there are a number of reasons but one of the big ones is that they cost more to manufacture. When a desktop is put together they don't have to worry as much about space cooling issues. Building a laptop takes more precision this increases the cost.

Don't Forget Ergonomics Usability

Have you ever had your hands cramp on you from typing on a laptop for too long I have it's not a fun thing. But with a desktop you can get an ergonomic keyboard other things that improve your computer using experience. Laptops have a lot of constraints in this way. Sure you can still get an external device but it just gives you one more thing you have to carry around with you laptop.

Space Considerations

When planning the amount of space your computer will take up on your desk a laptop desktop take up about the same amount of space. The tower is usually kept under the desk so all you have on top of your desk is the keyboard monitor mouse. These items take up about the same amount of space as a laptop sometimes even less.

Resolution Problems

Visibility is another issue with laptops. Yes you can set the screen to a higher resolution but sometimes the images text become so small that you can't even read it. On a desktop you can always upgrade get a bigger monitor something you can't do on a laptop. The typical desktop monitor is at least 19" but the biggest you'll see on a laptop is usually around 17". This is big difference for visibility issues.
