In addition to the extensive commentary published in HOW’s special Future of Design Issue, we’ve compiled additional responses online. And we've posted a query to the HOW community in the Forum, where you can share your own predictions about where design is headed.

I almost spewed (my beer) when I heard this commercial. I'm not sure even Elvis can ressurect this dieing brand. but this commercial is worth a look. I just hope my kids don't start singing the jingle (without even knowing what it means).

You are just 162 slides away from becoming a branding expert.



A friend of mine sent me this truly great, albeit rather long slideshow based on the popular book, the Brand Gap. I figured hey...since I've never read the book, I'll watch the movie instead. Ironically, I found myself flipping quickly through the last ten slides rather quickly.

Perhaps I'll create a Cliff Notes edition to the slideshow for people with truly chronic ADD.
