Martin Lindstrom | October 16, 2001 | Comments
Grab your joystick and hold on tight, because a promising new marketing medium is emerging, and it shows all the signs of delivering an intense ride.
While our attention has been focused on advertising and marketing opportunities on the Internet, a promising new marketing medium has crept up behind us. It's a medium that's likely to become one of the top-five ranked electronic channels, along with mobile communication, interactive TV, Internet advertising, and email marketing.
I'm talking about electronic games, which, over the past five years, have taken off in a big way. Yet their enormous potential as advertising channels has so far been tapped only in a limited way -- until recently.
Did you know that that one of the key reasons for energy drink Red Bull's dramatic success was its appearance in the original PlayStation? After a heavy, intense game, a commercial for Red Bull would appear in almost a product placement context, teasing the player to learn more about this new drink. Needless to say, Red Bull is today the leader in its category, an achievement reached in just three years.
The worldwide games industry, including everything from arcades and game consoles to PC games, set-top box games, and cell phone games, is now a $49.9 billion business. But, hold your horses! It's expected to grow by 71 percent, to $85.7 billion by 2006, according to Informa Media Group in the United Kingdom. Experts predict that worldwide console sales will double in the next five years to a total of 200 million units, thanks to this fall's new products from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. And, perhaps not surprisingly, these sales will be to an audience composed of intensely interested participants, an audience which currently includes 25 percent of the total online U.S. audience. This group spends five or more hours per week playing online games, according to a recent IDG study.
So, a new and attractive marketing channel has been added to the media repertoire. When Nicholas Negroponte predicted some years ago that the revenue model for games would not be a fixed price per game but a flexible price that changed according to the "ammunition" you decided to "purchase" during the game, he was on the right track. We're going to see featured in games not only sponsor awards but also heavy product placement, even product placement strategies that allow players to choose their favorite brands -- to equip themselves with a well-known car brand, select their preferred sports shoes, and consume a favored energy drink before commencing a battle.
But it doesn't stop there. Remember, we're talking about an interactive medium. Passive advertising won't cut the mustard for your brand in this environment. You'll need to harness attention for your brand by leveraging the interactivity of the games: implanting the product in the story, introducing it as part of the action, and generating the synergy between context and brand that's so difficult to achieve via other media channels.
So, before it's too late, tell me how your brand will articulate its message and establish its tone of voice in a marketplace where more than 200 million people are already spending more than five hours a day online -- honing their skills and readying themselves for the challenge of your brand message.

A great logo that goes with the tried and tested red on black formula. I love the disintegration of the bevel idea! I also particularly like the clean and straightforward typeface!Posted in Branding → Logo
A beautifully vibrant and vivacious business card for a freelance designer! The textured background and arrow design works really well but the central name totally steals the show! The colour and detail really make this card stand out.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
An absolutely fascinating design for a business card! Using the art of origami these business cards for a telecommunications company are immediately recognisable and surely impossible to throw away! The red and black approach works brilliantly and the only downside I can see is how uncomfortable one of these might be in your pocket...Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A clean and simple logo for the Hong Kong Design Institute. I like the unfussy nature of the typeface and the use of bold. The use of a simple logo is effective in maintaining recognition.Posted in Branding → Logo
Two strikingly different colours, but consistent styling makes these cards work really well. The whole concept just seems to "work" for me, and I love that they're presented on a wooden textured background.Posted in Branding → Business Cards

***NOTE: This animation is extremely graphics heavy. Please Right click > Quality > MediumLow***
Hey guys, after a year of on and off animating, I have finally completed my Madness Day animation. It's basically 2 minutes of non-stop, frame by frame action with effects everywhere. A lot of work and experimentation went into this one, so hope you guys like it!
It is very very AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this movie and I think it is exited. It so GOOD.
Dude Micmadness ftw all the way man
I heard it took you a year to make this dawg, really well done
Of all the Madness stuff submitted on this day, I do in fact find this to be the best. You completely deserve your Daily Feature because the animation here is fantastic. You are usually known for stuff with stick figures. I guess these are kind of stick figures that you are working with. The animation is the best and most flawless I have seen for any submission today too. There are just so many things going on and it's so relentless in its delivery.
The best parts are probably when the guys' heads are being sliced up. It's great how each bit of severed flesh flies around so well. The slow motion is fantastic, especially with the grenade being thrown. The artwork shows that the characters themselves have so much depth to them, in every sense of the word. Fast paced of course, but that's what you love in a Madness Combat submission. Happy Madness Day 2011!
D: My mind
I don't know how to comment this... because it was... very and way "TOO GOOD". Pwn'd my mind and the rest of everyone else who saw it... Now I am going to go puke in my toilet from high impact awesomeness.

i'd love her, if she wasn't so violent. i mean, ok i get being a basass, it is freaking exciting, but c'mon, killing everyone in her way? disgusting a little bit. and i don't like the fact, that she was winvolved with mason. i don't know, but it was gross for me.
maybe, when we see katerine < i can't wait btw>, we'll see more of her background and get to understand her, the motives, the reasons who made her who she is. to be honest, elena's oh-i'm-so-good-and-sweet-and-everyone-loves-me-cause-of-that attitude, kinda pisses me off sometimes too, and then i find it hard to like her, though generally i do. maybe after next week, i'll like katerine better than elena, i wish i would. but i need to see more human in her.
i want to like her, really.
I LOVE KATHERINE PIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (But I love DAMON SALVATORE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) She's totally the best female vampire I've ever scene, yet. She's so badass. I love the way she has all these little minions doing her dirty work!!!!!!!! She's totally the female version of Damon, and not just the old Damon, but I also believe this Damon too. She comes across as a bitch with no redeeming qualities, just like Damon, but I believe that in the long run, she'll be as sweet as Damon. I believe she truely is in love with Stefan and will do anything to get him back. I also believe that Damon and Katherine are both a like. Damon loved Katherine, and then found out she didn't want him in the first place, that she loved Stefan. Katherine loved Stefan, then came back to Mystic Falls to find out that he loves Elena. Pay back's a bitch....... haha
I absolutly love Katherine. My favourite character on the show!
Like Sexyback said: She`s fiercly self-confident, sexy, and has no bounderies. I love it! Although I do want to see a SMIDGEN of her humanity, I dont want another Damon. In fact, I miss bad Damon. Give her some heart, but keep her bad.
My sister loves Katherine and hates Elena(ignoring the whole thread Delena or Stelena, just focusing on this particular person), I like them both but if I have to choose for now I'd choose Katherine, she's just briliant in her actions and being a bitch with a heart deep(I mean really deep :-D) inside her :-)

Do yourself a favour & order Chicken Rice, green vegies & beer and budget on about $12.00- $15.00 each. Melt in the mouth, succulent chicken will keep you wanting more. Avoid the bathrooms if possible.

I spent this weekend visiting my friends Grace and Louisa in DC and have come to the decision, even after such a short visit, that I love this city. It's a very European-style city with no building allowed to be taller than the block is long.

According to some his work was overseen and undertaken with the assistance of George Washington no less. The city was called Washington, as you may of guessed, to honour the first President of ...

Honestly, none of the would be a bad pick and you could easily spend a month looking at all the museums in Washington and probably still not see everything. All the Smithsonian's are free. I badly wanted to see the Smithsonian Museum of Flight and Space, and Jen indulged me. This one is on the opposite side of the mall. Across the way you get wonderful views of the Capital Building, Jen got a photo in front of it. ...
I feel like one of the city folk now!
Today was another exhausting, yet fun-filled, day. I rode the metro down to the National Gallery of Art to finish looking at everything and I just barely managed to finish all the stuff I really wanted to see. The metro was actually kind of fun and less confusing than I thought it would be. I figured it out for the most part, or at least as far as I needed to figure it out. After the Gallery closed, John and I walked around a little bit, but since our feet ...

I just love her so much. #mylittlesquish
I swear, as recently as last week we had to put a pillow under her feet in the exersaucer because she barely could touch the bottom . This morning I noticed this.
So this happened for a few seconds earlier today.
This transaction alone I saved $34.05! Only paid $21.72.
Tonight, 2 stores. Total before coupons: $66.98, I only paid $30.58. I love boxes of cereal for only $0.02!
Tonight I spent $2.85 and saved $22.90. I got 8 rolls of paper towels, 4 things of cinnamon rolls and 2 packs of facial tissue. I have 2 more trips planned for tomorrow as well and then I SHOULD be done for the week lol.
My little ginger.
Leah this morning.
Trip #2, grand total of $7.92. I have one final trip to make after work tonight (and another trip or two to still plan out.)
I also snagged 20 more inserts to clip tomorrow :)
Only spent $10.53! Going back in the morning for more. #ilovecoupons
Anxiety is a bitch. Just sitting here clipping coupons and I'm all red and blotchy because my anxiety is sky-freaking-high. Ugh. (I'm partially blaming the mid season finale for Pretty Little Liars though because I'm genuinely sad over the ending.)

The price between a "cheap" officiant and a professional isn't more than the cost of a couple of dinners. As in everything, if something is good, it's not cheap, and if something is cheap, it's probably not very good. Your wedding ceremony will set the stage and tone for your entire celebration and we want what you want, a marriage and ceremony that starts out not just okay, but great!
You can meet with Reverend Michael, face-to-face and free of charge before you make any decision. We want you to be totally comfortable, at ease and confident that you can trust us with one of the most visible and critically important parts of your ceremony and marriage. Even, if your wedding is being planned many months from now, we would suggest that we set up this meeting as soon as possible, so that you can rest assured that you have the right officiant for your special day. Click here to have Reverend Michael call you to give you an opportunity to set up your free personal introductory meeting.
Reverend Michael
I know this has taken a long time, but Ken and I want to thank you for making our Wedding Day extra special. It was a fantastic day and had many compliments on the ceremony.
Ken and I are doing great, and are loving the married life and can't imagine a day without each other. We are expecting our first baby (A boy) around Halloween and we couldn't be more happy.. We have a lot of exciting things to look forward to, as we expand our family and also hope to sell our townhouse and buy a house that we can raise our family in.
Hope all is well with you and your family.
Thank you again.
Reverend Michael
We were excited to meet with you and Yes we did get a copy of our contract. You are everything we are looking for in someone to marry us. :) Meeting you made us even more excited about our wedding!
Josh and I just wanted to say how much my mother was so impressed with you, you greeted all the guests and at the end you congratulated both Family's in the Front row, it could have not gone better, better than expected ..Thank you again!

Perry Criticizes Administration's Stance On Abortion, Stem Cells
June 15, 2011 by Special To Personal Liberty
Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, recently criticized the Barack Obama Administration for its stance on abortion and stem cell research.
In Los Angeles on June 12, Perry addressed a mostly Hispanic crowd of about 5,000 and railed against the President's stance on reproductive decisions, according to The Associated Press.
The Governor said that the Obama Administration's handling of stem cell research was "turning the remains of unborn children into nothing more than raw material."
Obama has slightly bypassed a 1996 law that prevents the government from spending money on work that damages embryos by allowing the harvesting of stem cells to be done with private money and then using money from taxpayers to fund work on the cells, reports the news source.
Reuters reports that Perry also said that since Roe v. Wade, "50 million children have lost their chance at life — a tragic legacy of judicial activism and a stark reminder that our culture and our country are still in peril."
The AP reports that Perry had earlier dismissed talk about his potential run for the White House but has also said that he was going to "think about it."

I have been asked for the nutrition info on this tasty product and when I was at Costco today, one of the helpful people in the bakery got it for me.
Let me say in advance, it is definitely a candy/desert product without any significant nutritional benefit, but I am assuming most people would think that already.

Decent review...not your best work. Stick to items like the Orbit gum and Suave shampoo. You are more enticing when it comes to non food items.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting the nutrition information for the almond bark. It's yummy. =)ReplyDelete
Almonds are pretty healthy though!ReplyDelete

Biofuel Trade Groups Ask Congress to Extend Tax Incentives
A group of biofuel trade organizations is encouraging the extension of critical advanced biofuel tax incentives - including the Second Generation Biofuel Producer Tax Credit. The Advanced Ethanol Council, Growth Energy, National Biodiesel Board and Renewable Fuels Association were among the groups signing a letter to Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden and Ranking Member Orrin Hatch to ask for the extension of this and other credits. According to the letter - the advanced biofuels industry is at a critical stage of development. Despite a difficult financial market - the groups note commercial plants are operating across the country and progress is being made on dozens of additional projects in the final stages of development. Advanced biofuel tax credits - the letter continues - have allowed the biofuels industry to make great strides in reducing the cost of production and developing first-of-kind technologies to deploy the most innovative fuel in the world. If Congress wants American companies to continue developing these homegrown technologies in the U.S. - the biofuel trade groups say it must extend these credits. In the interests of energy security, job creation, global competitiveness and forward-looking policy - they urge Wyden and Hatch to move quickly to extend expired advanced biofuel tax provisions for multiple years retroactive to January 1st.

Breaking my femur in 2012 was not my finest moment in life. I took a lot of good lessons from that experience though. #1 Doing a TARD over off a cliff is a stupid thing to do. #2 If you break it, you better fix it. There was a lot I was limited from doing during my recovery. Mostly impact activities. I needed something to get back in shape and I didn't want to wait until I was cleared for running. This is when I found yoga. Yoga not only became a challenging and strength building activity in my life, but it changed my outlook on how I live. I've found a balance that a lot of extreme athletes lack in life (myself included). Sometimes its hard to forget to stop and love the exact moment that you're existing in when all you want to do is plan your next jump/climb/ride and rage, rage, rage! Yoga has provided me with a level of self-discipline that I was seriously lacking in BASE jumping, and maybe life for that matter. I turn, I've been given a stronger mind, body and soul than I ever had before.

ATM: Americans With Disabilities Act Requirements
Thursday, October 3, 2013 - 9:09 AM
The Justice Department is responsible for issuing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations.
Any credit union with an automated teller machine (ATM) is required to meet the standards defined by the U.S. Access Board's Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines have specific requirements for ATMs to meet regarding such things as height, input devices, and approach space. Failure to meet these standards can result in civil fines and injunctions requiring compliance.

Companies are increasingly taking advantage of the benefits of using "cloud" based services. Those benefits include:
But the starting point for most cloud contracts is usually the cloud provider's standard terms and conditions, which are favorable to the cloud provider and designed for high-volume, low-cost, commoditized services. In order to avoid unwanted surprises, companies should consider addressing the following five issues in their cloud contracts:
1. Limitations on Liability. Cloud providers almost universally exclude or disclaim all liability for "outages" and "data loss." Companies need to assess the type of information or data that will reside on the cloud and construct an appropriate liability provision. If properly negotiated and presented, cloud providers will accept liability—but it is typically limited by amount (with a damages cap) and type of damages (with exclusions for indirect, consequential, punitive or other special damages). Cloud providers will typically propose a damages cap that references the amounts paid by the company in total or over a specified period (e.g., 12 months).
2. Service Levels (Performance Metrics). As with the Limitations on Liability issue, companies need to assess the type of information or data that will reside on the cloud and construct appropriate service levels. Assuring business continuity and disaster recovery (i.e., integrity and availability of cloud data and applications) are usually what is most important to companies. Depending on the type of data or applications that reside on the cloud, companies also need to consider other service levels, such as uptime/availability and restoration of data (including specifying both a recovery point objective and a recovery time objective). Note that many cloud providers reference service levels by linking to a website for details. Companies should clearly establish whether the service levels and other key terms can be amended by the cloud provider and, if so, whether the company will be provided notice and/or a right to terminate for substantive changes in the service levels.
3. Security. Companies typically focus on what physical and other security processes and procedures a cloud provider employs to ensure that its data or applications are secure. Since cloud providers use a shared infrastructure (with multiple clients), cloud providers are not typically willing to provide details of their security policies to their clients or allow site visits. In addition, in contrast to most other technology services contracts (e.g., outsourcing contracts), cloud providers will not agree to comply with a company's security policy because where multiple users share standardized infrastructure, it becomes difficult to comply with each company's security policies, which likely contain different, and possibly conflicting, requirements. Depending on the sensitivity of the data or applications, a company may want to specify certain specific requirements (e.g., encryption of data and connections).
4. Termination Rights. In most technology services contracts, a company will have a number of termination rights and a service provider's right to terminate will be limited to non-payment. In most cloud contracts, however, cloud providers have a broad array of termination rights including an immediate right to terminate or "suspend" services for material breach, breach of acceptable use policies (AUPs), or upon receipt of allegations regarding breach of a third-party's intellectual property rights. From a company's perspective, the trigger for each of these rights needs to be defined as objectively and precisely as possible. In addition, companies should insist on standard termination rights—breach, change of control, breach of confidentiality, or intellectual property rights.
5. Termination Assistance. In tandem with negotiating appropriate termination rights, companies should also focus on what happens on termination or expiration of the cloud services contract. Although most cloud providers do not offer any termination assistance services, companies should focus on data availability and data portability. Specifically, companies should specify in the cloud services contract how long (after termination or expiration) the data will be available on the cloud provider's systems. The standard protocol for most cloud providers is to delete all data immediately or after a short period (30 days); longer periods must be specifically negotiated. Companies should also specifically negotiate how and in what format the data is returned. Data portability is often overlooked and companies run the risk of depending on one cloud provider's proprietary service. If the service is terminated, ideally a company should be able recover all its data in formats that are easily accessible, readable and portable into other applications. Most cloud providers will commit to return a company's data in a standard format (typically CSV) on termination, but to avoid unwanted surprises, the format of the data should be specified in the cloud services contract.

The possibility of impossible stairways and greener grass
AbstractIn classical game theory, players have finitely many actions and evaluate outcomes of mixed strategies using a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function. Allowing a larger, but countable, player set introduces a host of phenomena that are impossible in finite games. Firstly, in coordination games, all players have the same preferences: switching to a weakly dominant action makes everyone at least as well off as before. Nevertheless, there are coordination games where the best outcome occurs if everyone chooses a weakly dominated action, while the worst outcome occurs if everyone chooses the weakly dominant action. Secondly, the location of payoff-dominant equilibria behaves capriciously: two coordination games that look so much alike that even the consequences of unilateral deviations are the same may nevertheless have disjoint sets of payoff-dominant equilibria. Thirdly, a large class of games has no (pure or mixed) Nash equilibria. Following the proverb ``the grass is always greener on the other side of the hedge'', greener-grass games model constant discontent: in one part of the strategy space, players would rather switch to its complement. Once there, they'd rather switch back.

I would never go back to Comcrap. Six years of spotty internet service that never got fixed.Constant patch work by repair guys that never totally solved the issue.Since I switched to Verizon FIOS a few months ago, consistently fast speeds and no downtime. Couldnt be happier.
Why switch to ANYTHING from FiOS? Seriously, even with Comcast's new tech, FiOS is comparable or better for the same price, or just a little more. Plus they'll have 100 Mbps service soon. 30/5 for the price of 20/5, and 30/30 as the new symmetric tier? bring it on. Oh, and 15/2 being the new 10/2
Pure speculation. no basis in fact.

Class wars !!,
This review is from: Jerusalem the Golden (Penguin Modern Classics) (Kindle Edition)
An excellent story about a young womans journey from an oppressed childhood in a working class northern town to a hedonistic bohemian life with the Denham family in London. Clara is a language student nearing the conclusion of her studies in London when she meets Clelia whose life is the antithesis of hers, Claras life had , up until then, been dominated by her strict overbearing mother and she finds the freedom she experiences when she meets Clelias family refreshing.
Claras frienship with Gabriel , Clelias brother, gives her a taste on how the upper middle class conduct their affairs and she finds it refreshinly new and exciting when compared to her own upbringing.
I think Claras opinion of her mother may be unfair as towards the end we are led to believe that her mother, prior to her marriage, had entertained thoughts of escaping her "lot" but was afraid to do so for fear of going against her own strict moral sense of duty.
Clara demonstrates that if you have enough confidence it is possible to make the jump.
All in all a thought provoking and entertaining read.

Monthly Zen points
A Quick Question. Afaik any Lifetimer gets about 500 Zen Points a month.
I'am a Lifetimer since the game has go online 2009, and i wonder why i havent recevied any Zen points since this monthly payout has started.
Would be nice if someone would Clarify this to me, why i haven't gotten any now, and what will happen to all the points i have missed out till now?
You haven't missed out on any points as they only started to give them out on/shortly after the free to play conversion in Season 5.
It's more like 400. There was a bug where some were not getting their stipend. You should contact game support, you know at the very top of the page.
And i also would gladly contact the support, what iam trying since a few weeks, but all i get after pressing the "contact us" button is a redirection error...
(and all ingame tickes also went sonwhere into the oblivion...)
This is why iam now asking in the forum directly.
It IS 500 points, as it was 400 points prior to the replacement of the previous point system with the ZEN system.
Speaking of, I have yet to receive my monthly as well. The points used to be awarded on the 25th for me, don't know why I didn't get last months points and it would be nice to know what is going on.
I haven't received my stipend this moth either and i can't find it in the customer support either if someone could help me that would be great.

Newport man builds back garden Tardis
12:50pm Monday 4th April 2011 in News
LOOK what's landed in the back garden of one Newport man's home.
Lifelong Doctor Who fan John Williams, 42, spent eight months and more than £700 creating his Tardis.
The creation will now stand in his back garden alongside his model of the doctor's trusty companion K9 which he made about four years ago after being inspired when Dr Who was filmed at his daughters' school Duffryn High.
Mr Williams, who works as a design engineer in Northampton, said: "I have always enjoyed Doctor Who and I also like doing artistic things. I just started working on this in my spare time."
Mr Williams' replica of the Tardis is made from plywood and stands at 2.6m tall and covers a floor space of 1.4m squared.
It comes complete with indoor lighting and will be used by Mr Williams to store garden furniture.
Mr Williams, who is married to Fiona and has three children Alexandra, 20, Eleanore, 19 and Gareth, 13, said: "I had created a K9 back in the 1980s but was living with my parents and so had to get rid of it. I was inspired to bring it back to life after seeing the real K9 at the school though.
"I just find Doctor Who is a great source of escapism and it inspires me. I think my next venture will be making a Dalek but that is a while off yet."

Awesomely clever, it's the Inception of sitcoms. In season 2 the show has preserved its core concept of friendships in a community-college study group while piling on daringly odd jobs. [6 Dec 2010, p.49]
The yuk-filled second ep of the sophomore season rectifies this neglect with a plot that tempts Jeff to return to his soul-corrupting old firm, much to the dismay of his community-college study buddies.
For all its flights of fancy and its meta-jokes (most of them ably put across by Danny Pudi), the show still allows us to invest in Joel McHale's Jeff and his journey to self-improvement. Yet in its search for a plot, Community often seems to send Jeff back to square one so he can be redeemed all over again.
It was disappointing that this premiere lacked a lot of fun, usually Community's strong suit. Still, it reminded us of the distinct joys of the first season, offering cartoonish physical comedy, densely written jokes, and obscure pop culture references.

Nov 8, 2010Best show in television currently. The humor is both subtle and in-your-face at the same time. None of the characters take themselves too seriously, and they all work well with each other. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi are especially hilarious. I think it's the dialogue that really makes this show as good as it is.… Full Review »
Oct 15, 2010This is one of my favorite shows on television. I don't know why it doesn't get viewers like it should. Each episode is so funny, and well-written. Thank goodness it's on NBC, so it won't get canceled for having so few viewers for a little while. Hopefully things pick up though, because I'd hate to see such a good thing go.… Full Review »
Oct 20, 2010BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION, PERIOD. this show is so funny, the writing is so very good, i can relate to all the characters, this show honestly surprises me every new episode. i can't wait until the next one comes out. watch it please, so it doesn't get canceled.… Full Review »

Bushy broccoli double as tall trees here in Carl Warner's 'Broccoli Forest'. (Courtesy: Carl Warner)
They're the vegetables you'll find growing in backyard gardens: broccoli, lettuce, celery, gourds, mushrooms. But when you look at one of photographer Carl Warner's "Foodscapes", these everyday items from nature have been transformed into cities, mountains and forests.
Warner, now based in London, started his career as a landscape photographer and then moved into shooting still life photos for advertising.
(PHOTOS: Weirdest-Looking Trees in the World)
"I've always enjoyed the discipline of working in the studio, and the spontaneity of working outdoors in natural light," Warner explains. "With my 'Foodscapes' I can now put together the knowledge of natural light with the control of recreating it in the studio in order to bring out the colors and textures as well as the beauty of a scene."

As he tells the "Lost Lectures" series, the idea came to him one day when he saw "beautiful" portabella mushrooms at the supermarket.
"I suddenly thought 'these mushrooms really look like strange trees,'" Warner explained. He took them back to his studio, along with some rice and beans, and laid out his first scene.
Now, a decade later, Warner's process still begins with the food. He jokes about spending a lot of time staring at vegetables in supermarkets.
Once inspiration hits, he sketches the vision on paper. He then works with a food stylist and model maker to lay out the set. Building the set can take two or three days, and then he shoots and retouches.
(PHOTOS: Amazing Sculptures Made from Sticks)
Warner, a gardener himself, says the fall season creates his favorite natural photo subjects.
"I love the autumn and all the pumpkins and gourds. The colors and shapes fascinate me," he tells weather.com.
Warner has published two books, Carl Warner's Food Landscapes and A World of Food. He explains that A World of Food is aimed at teaching kids to look at food differently and improve their eating habits. You can see more of his work at his website carlwarner.com and check out the images he shared with weather.com in the slideshow at the top of the page.Follow @borntorunnergrl
