Strategic branding initiatives

“Strategic branding initiatives are part of a brand strategy that can help a business succeed in the long term.”

Marty Neumeier

"Your brand is not what you say it is, it's what they say it is". A brand is based on reputation, and what people say about it is what defines it.

Jim Mullen

"When you look at a strong brand, you see a promise". A strong brand has a clear vision and promise to the customer, and consistently delivers on their expectations

The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art

Quote found on the Internet “The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art reveals a profound interplay between emotion and perception. Abstract art, characterized by its departure from representational forms, invites viewers to engage with their own feelings and interpretations. This genre transcends traditional boundaries, allowing individuals to connect with the artwork on a personal level, often evoking a range of responses that are deeply rooted in their own life experiences. The absence of recognizable subjects encourages a more introspective approach, prompting viewers to reflect on their emotions and thoughts as they navigate the vibrant colors, shapes, and textures presented before them.”

By exploring themes such as identity, belonging, and cultural conflict, multicultural literature invites readers to engage with the complexities of human experience across different societies and traditions.

Thanksgiving

“Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.”- Konrad von Gesner Thanksgiving. Digital art created on canvas. November 28, 2024. Afrika Abney Thanksgiving has been tough for me since I was a student between losing loved ones, facing traumatic experiences, and overcoming racism and discrimination. “Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. during the 1970s was a unique blend of tradition and the evolving cultural landscape of the era. The nation’s capital, known for its rich history and political significance, became a focal point for various Thanksgiving celebrations that reflected both the solemnity of the holiday and the vibrancy of the 1970s. As the decade progressed, Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. began to reflect broader societal changes, including the growing awareness of social issues and the push for civil rights. The holiday served as a reminder of the impo...

Passionate Transparency

Passionate Transparency. Digital art created on canvas. December 5, 2024. Afrika Abney Love does not yell, envy, betray, hold grudges, and manipulate. Love is a spectrum of colors, beauty, elegance, sophistication, devotion, commitment, respect, honesty, and sacredness. Love is fulfilling hopes, wishes, desires and demonstrating intense passion. Love is me who does not believe in true love, soulmates, and perfection. I believe love is encompassed with authenticity, grand gestures, trust, respect, and transparency from a single straight man over the age of 30 who has not forgotten their home training.
