The Higher Education Bubble

February 8, 2012 by izzy

In May 2011, Peter Thiel—PayPal co-founder, venture capitalist, and a member of Facebook’s board of directors—predicted that higher education would be the next bubble to burst. According to Thiel, higher education in America bears the same markings as the technology and housing bubbles that preceded it: unbridled investment, wildly overvalued assets, and a lower rate of return than in years past. Like all economic bubbles, Thiel argues that higher education is destined for disaster.

I am ALL for higher education and these infographics and video give us all pause to think through the costs of education. Online education can help trim costs and offer an excellent education.

I want my day to triumph like Madonna’s onstage performance at the Super Bowl 46 halftime.

It’s All About The Story

This is such a sweet, simple story created for a project called Red Blooded by Coudal Partners. The line between “content” and “advertising” is smudged at this point and I feel this line will only become more blurry. Enjoy.

I could use about a million of these gizmos, so it was the first thing I thought this might be when I spied it in one of my favorite design blogs- Design Happens’ weekly quiz: What the ….? I guess it is the organizer in me that loves order on my desktops.

Customizing a Facebook Page

January 26, 2012 by izzy

I assisted a client to create a customized FaceBook image for her business page. Val Nelson is a career and business coach who makes it easy for her clients to find clarity and confidence so they can follow their hearts…and make a living.

Customizing your FaceBook page visually: attracts the readers’ eyes to your page,
it helps the reader relate to you on a personal level, and it should assist with boosting the Google search engine optimization for Val’s overall online presence.

Of course, having a beautiful image to work with really helps. I was able to use the color element to work into the customized treatment of Val’s FaceBook page and further support her overall branding design.

What do you think of Val’s new FaceBook page? I would love to hear your comments.
