The avant-garde movement in art and literature of the early 20th-century that sought to release the creative potential of the sub-conscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images is often termed as surrealism.
In the words of Salvador Dali, Surréalism is said to be the symbolic language of the subconscious; truly a universal language, it doesn’t depend on education, culture or intelligence.
Surréalism means cleansing your mind of what you have seen and be on the look out of "what has never been."

Every day, we are bombarded by numberless brand impressions.
Advertisements, news reports, white papers, videos, amusing presentations, philosophical abstracts: you name it they are all there. Now, compound that with conversations with family, friends, and product experiences. You get the picture.
But, unless we are actively shopping, much of that exposure appears wasted.
Or, does it?

DON'T JUST THROW COUPLE OF FANCY CHAIRS AND A TABLE AND BE DONE WITH IT. DESIGN YOUR SPACE FOR CONVERSATION THAT SPARKS BRAND THINKING.
THIS IS A BAD TIME TO BE BORING
Setting aside the quickening of time factor, (another expression for another day), the simple truth is, — your clients and your prospects does not feel encouraged to interact with you because, you do not inspire them. More often than not, you have been dishing out half-baked product updates at trade shows, using the same kiosks and booth designs that does not infuse them with any new thoughts, or, nudge them to participate in your presentation, because, you have messaged it with the SOLE FOCUS ON YOUR PRODUCT.

... AND JUGGLING THE MIND
With search engines, media portals and social networking sites cluttered with dozens of links and banners ads and magazines scattered with inserts and advertorials, how do we break through the clutter to grab the attention of consumers?

SETTING THE SCENE — THE GUIDANCE OF GROTESQUE
This self-portrait was based on a drawing made by Arneson’s son Kregg when the artist and his first wife was in the midst of a marital crisis. Although the representation echoes Renaissance bust of mortally wounded martyred saints, the wildly exaggerated grotesque details—such as the exploding gun, bloody knife and arrow, and globs of blood and snot—recall the style of cartoon and comic strips.
The sculpture is one of Arneson’s most emotionally expressive self-portrait. He was prolific in creating self-portraits using photographs, mirrors, and drawings. Each expression seemed to reveal a different emotion. His self-referential portraits, that are iconic and humorous, sends us on a mission to explore universal concepts of feeling, sentiments, reaction and response.

Color is a channel for non-verbal communication. It communicates to us at a cellular level.
Zara Stender, chair holder with the Color Marketing Group (CMG) professes the power in color to influence moods, emotions, hunger, aggression—and buying decisions. “Color increases brand recognition by up to 80 percent, and it can be up to 85 percent of the reason people decide to buy,” as Stender mentioned in the Global Shop Conference 2012.
