Beauty and the Beast - painting 2011 by This Window

Creating good solid business keywords is not a decorative process it is a complicated exercise. Juxtaposing words together is a bit like creating a collage, the mind always tries to create a narrative when confronted with the written word. The juxtaposition of arbitrary phrases etc. will always tease and trick the mind into rationalizing what it is in front of it and attempt to make physical and world references – in other words try to make sense of what it is trying to analyze. These are the same processes that are used in understanding art Continue reading ?
