Symptoms of Migraine
A migraine is usually an intense headache that occurs at the front or on one side of the head. However, the area of pain can change position during an attack.
The pain is usually a severe throbbing sensation that gets worse when you move.
Symptoms accompanying a migraine
Other symptoms commonly associated with a migraine are:
- nausea – you may feel queasy and sick; this may be followed by vomiting
- increased sensitivity – you may have photophobia (sensitivity to light), phonophobia (sensitivity to sound) and/or osmophobia (sensitivity to smells), which is why many people with a migraine want to rest in a quiet, dark room
Other symptoms can also occur during a migraine. These include:
- poor concentration
- sweating
- feeling very hot or very cold
- abdominal pain (which can sometimes cause diarrhoea)
- a frequent need to urinate
Not everyone experiences these symptoms when they have a migraine, and they do not usually all occur at once.
In some cases, you may experience these symptoms without having a headache.
The symptoms accompanying migraine can last anywhere between four hours and three days. They will usually disappear when the headache goes.
You may feel very tired for up to seven days after a migraine attack.
Symptoms of aura
About one third of people with migraines have warning symptoms, known as aura, before the migraine. These include:
- visual problems – you may see flashing lights, zigzag patterns or blind spots
- stiffness or a tingling sensation like pins and needles in your neck, shoulders or limbs
- problems with co-ordination – you may feel disoriented or off balance
- difficulty speaking
- loss of consciousness – this only happens in very rare cases
Aura symptoms typically start between 15 minutes and one hour before the headache begins. Some people may experience aura with only a mild headache or no headache at all.
Basic tips for Sustainability (Task 8)
Below is a short clip from ‘DarkMouth’ which informs basic tips for sustainability which I believe is important for us to remember and we as graphic designers should think about these pointers before designing any product.
Sustainable Design (Task 8)
Sustainable design (also called environmental design, environmentally sustainable design, environmentally conscious design, etc.) is the philosophy of designing physical objects, the built environment, and services to comply with the principles of social, economic, sustainability.
Levi Strauss & Co has been embarking on a pioneering path to make sustainability an integral part of everything they do to create clothing all over the world. Their inspiration came from their own experience promoting ethical labor standards around the globe. Just as their groundbreaking Terms of Engagement changed the supply chain landscape for their suppliers worldwide, they wanted their environmental sustainability efforts to raise the bar for every company.
PROBLEM????
Levis Strauss & Co start collecting stories all around of the world of people suffering from environmental issues. Clean water was one of the issues which came into the picture.
MAKING OF LEVI’S WATERLESS JEANS
Levi’s designers set out to create an entirely new approach for using less water in the finishing process. The result? The Levi’s® Water<Less™ collection.
These jeans are made using less water–from an average of 42 liters to as little as 1.5 liters.
LEVI’S WASTELESS INITIATIVE
Levi’s Waste<Less jeans are the result of Levi’s latest design innovation. Each piece features a minimum of 20% post consumer recycled content, from an average of 8 plastic bottles. Global bottled water consumption is over 29 liters per person, per year. Unfortunately, many of these bottles are not recycled. In the US, only 29% of pet bottles are recycled; in Europe, only 48%; and in Japan, 72%. The garbage is piling up and these ‘disposable’ bottles are not going to just disappear.
By repurposing waste–in this case, plastic bottles and trays–and recycling them into new fabrics, Levi’s is doing the small part to utilize existing materials in place of virgin cotton, which is dependent on numerous natural resources. In Spring of 2013, they will repurpose over 3.5 million recycled pet plastic bottles…and this is just the beginning. They’re committed to making more Waste<Less products in seasons to come to help minimize impact on the planet.

Ambient meets Guerrilla meets Viral Campaign (Task 7)
Ambient Media is the name given to a new breed of out-of-home products and services determined by some as non-traditional media.
Guerrilla marketing is an advertising strategy in which low-cost unconventional means (graffiti, sticker bombing, flash mobs) are utilized, often in a localized fashion or large network of individual cells, to convey or promote a product or an idea.
Viral advertising are buzzwords referring to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks and other technologies to produce increases in brand awareness.
All these Advertising strategies are applied to change consumer behaviour and gets their attention towards the specific product and promote its core message to the consumer.
