Adobe Bridge: yay or nay

     Yay or nay? To use or not to use? Adobe Bridge is a very powerful software, describe as easy-to-use media manager for visual people, it is a bridge used to transfer a huge amount of files to the other spot or program quickly. Adobe Br offers more capabilities to manage files, but it is not a replacement; for example, for Finder or Windows Explorer, rather Adobe Br is the enhancement for both. With the use of Adobe br your files will be more organized, if and only if you find it helpful, try to play with it then start to explore it further.

     Working with adobe bridge will need a lot of ram and space from your desktop computer or laptop. Some find it very helpful and efficient especially for those who work everyday with hundreds and hundreds of files to handle. Also, can be much more useful in photography where photographers make tons of photos and they have to track them down, that's when Adobe Br can help. It may be very useful but for some it can be annoying because it costs a lot of your laptop or computer's memory. My advice or my point is if we will work or you're working with a big project and if you have a high end laptop or computer, YAY for Adobe Bridge, but for those people (I think, for me too) who doesn't have big project to do, who have less files, not enough ram and space for Adobe Br, NAY.  We/They should stick to traditional way (File > Open > Location) of managing of files, sometimes we're having a hard time finding our files, opening and transferring files in "mano-mano" way, but that's pretty normal.

     To sum it up, using Adobe Bridge depends on the situation, depends on the laptop/computer's status, and it depends on the decision of the user.








The Influence of Advertising

     Advertising is simply informing people and consumers about a certain product. Buyers will eventually buy something that they know exists based on what they saw on newspapers, television or on billboards. With the use of advertising, there is a creation of an ideal image of gorgeous woman and handsome men that shows the factors of successful person that leads to an unconscious way of telling that if they don't become like them they would not be good looking or pretty.

“It is time to buy what makes you look good, and soon you will look like one of your favorite star celebrities.”

Today's era is a world of advertisement, the loudest you are in the media industry the most noticeable you will. There are all kinds of ads, but in general, all of them aim to make your buying choices based on emotional response. Talking about the repetition of different advertisements, it makes it easy for viewers to accept them as the truth, even when they "know" the messages are false; and because it works, companies behind the ads are willing to pay for the repetition of their ads. Another is the use of experts, it is difficult for the viewers to disagree because they don;t have the knowledge and information available to those experts. People assumed that if these people are doing such work then it must be valid information.

These are just a few of the ways in which advertising influence our decisions and perception. We should have an awareness of ourselves that gives us the satisfaction of knowing that we're making our own decisions.
