#3: Emma: 40 secs\nDuality of ‘treat’ – referring to indulgence, and ‘treatment’ high quality function and clinical effectiveness\n\nUse of graphical symbol to emphasise the dual nature of the logo- potential for a design tool, other information can be inserted into the [ ].\n\n\n\nOpportunities to ‘treat’ others and for brand to appeal to male / female consumer as a longer term objective (acknowledge that male skincare vastly growing industry)\n

#6: 2mins\n\n“However the tension between nature and culture still\nPrevails” p416, technomyth \nCont’d “…the underlying theme remains always the same: controlling the\ndamaging effects of the environment through technological interventions…” p416\n\nMore…” The quest\nfor a younger looking skin becomes articulated as a warlike act, with fluids\nacting as 'peacekeepers,' ingredients rebuilding skin's own 'protective barrier*\nand supplementing its own 'defenses' to 'combat' and 'fight' against\nthe ultimate enemy, wrinkles” technomyth p418\n
#8: 1min\n\n“As mentioned above, higher value colours have a ‘whitish’ quality to them. Psychophysiological research suggests that white has a calming effect in that white light seems to produce the least amount of tension in the form of hand tremor” (James & Domingos, 1953 cited in Gorn et al, 1997:1390)\n
#10: 30secs\n\nEDIT HERE IOANNA\n\n“Considering the centrality of bodily representation for 'being'\na woman, it is not surprising that the images of the bodies of older\nwomen cause such problems and fears.” Page 411, “technomyth of youth in anti aging skin care”PROBLEMS OF THE \nIntroduction: Cultural stragegy\nWORLD\nPROBLEMS TO SELF\nPROBLEMS TO THE PRODUCT. \n
#11: 2mins\n\n“From a social perspective, the anti-aging movement reflects a shift from aging as a natural process that is met with I\n\n1ST: Feeling attractive\nBeing a woman\nncreasing cultural disdain, and one that should be remedied” (Bayer, 2005, cited in Mulse & Desmaris, 2010; 126)\n\n2ND: Learning about your skin\nGrowing up\n\n3RD: Lack of belief in products / continue to buy anyway\nDesire to retain some control and level of luxury / indulgence in times of austerity\n\n\n\n…\n\n1st: Scientific proof\nNatural ingredients\nSkin routine\n\n2nd:Emulating others\nPeer-to-peer advice\nTaking no chances\n

#15: Emotional and ethically responsible connection to the brand. Respond to this with ‘empowerment’ mentoring programme for young women – business / commerce / the entrepreneur / self made aspirational woman\n\n Treat[ment] is a luxurious moisturiser that promises to be the ‘perfect partner’ for skin. \n It will be an experience performed twice daily that will help maintain control and provide stability and security in the ever-changing fast paced environment. The freshness it brings skin will leave you empowered and filled with confidence. Product, Service, Experience\n\n\n
#16: 2mins\n1st: Clean typeface evokes function and modernity/ traditional serifs suggest luxury and elegance\nUse of capitalisation suggestive of a name / friend / person/ familiar and lower case less forceful (our “millennial’s” are not to be patronised / preached at)\nColour use is clean and cool, references alkaline, mineral / natural\nUse of blue is opposite warm florid tones on colour wheel – will not irritate your skin\n\n2nd: Nesting shapes to suggest usage (concave / convex) evoke the sun / moon and reinforces the night / day cream\nGradation of texture / colour symbolises the acceptance that our skin’s requirements change over time and \nManipulation of opacity / transparency to hint at lab aesthetic whilst retaining level of glamour\n
#19: Ioanna edit here\n\n3MINS\n\n Consultation - online / store create profile, your skin will be diagnosed as one of the five types and then an online profile will be made from there.\n \n Option to follow your ‘perfect partner’ on social media (Twitter / Facebook). Hints and tips forum \n \n Pop up shops – customer contact, taking the business to the customer. Unique as no other brand does this. Allows flexibility to travel the UK and visit festivals etc.\n
