• BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Autistic impressions
  The link between autism and savant skills in cinemas is clear, but does art really imitate life? Do people with autism always have an amazing intellectual skill?

  "The simple answer is no," says Dr Stuart Murray professor of contemporary literature and film at the University of Leeds and author of the book Representing Autism. "By far, the majority of people with autism do not have any kind of savant ability."

• 【レポート】ブランドイメージ世界No.1企業「コカ・コーラ」のテレビCM制作工程を紹介 (1) コカ・コーラのテレビCMとは | クリエイティブ | マイコミジャーナル
  日本コカ・コーラのマーケティング本部・コカ・コーラTMグループ・シニアマネジャーである今西周氏によると、今回のキャンペーンでは、テレビ、自動販売機でのポスター、雑誌、PC&携帯サイトの順でより詳しい情報を提示するようにしたという。これは、各媒体別にその目的と役割にあった情報を紹介しているためとのこと。つまり、テレビCMでは同キャンペーンに対する早期の認知獲得が一番の目的であるため、伝えたいことを端的に表現する。一方、PCサイトや携帯サイトはキャンペーンの内容を熟知してもらった上で、実際に参加してもらうことが主な目的になる。日本コカ・コーラでは、このようにあらゆる媒体を消費者とブランドとの接点と捉えて、媒体ごとにそれぞれ違った目的をもって展開される統合型コミュニケーション(Integrated Marketing Communication)に基づく広告を展開している。そのなかから今回はテレビCMの制作に注目して紹介していこう。

• Interaction Design | Sony Design
  As new technology is developed, we are constantly reevaluating the place of possessions (such as electronics) in our lives. Times are changing, and what makes our possessions valuable to us no longer depends on the things themselves. More than ever, we value the interactivity of things in our lives.

  Interaction design will undoubtedly keep pace with the development of digital technology, advancing rapidly. But these advances must not overwhelm users. Instead, we must imagine the ideal role of technology in our lives. For digital content to play an enriching role in our lives, we must seek the kind of interaction design that reflects a new value system, one that strikes a chord with our senses and sensibilities.

  Next-generation design development at Sony is focused on creating effective interaction design, tried and tested through rapid prototyping, in order to shape new lifestyles.
