Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevouml;lkerungsgeographie; Stadt- u. Raumplanung; Note: 2;0; Universitauml;t Passau; Veranstaltung: Proseminar Geographie; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: Bei vergleichbarer Ausgangssituation hat das wirtschaftliche Ungleichgewicht zwischen den beiden Lauml;ndern auf der iberischen Halbinsel inzwischen ein hohes Niveau ereicht.Vor allem Spanien ist mit einem Wirtschaftswachstum auf dem besten Wege; einen Platz an der Seite anderer groszlig;er Industrienation in Europa einzunehmen. International erfolgreich agierende Unternehmen; vor allem im Dienstleistungssektor; haben mit Hilfe auslauml;ndischen Kapitals bereits einen festen Platz auf dem internationalen Markt erobert und kouml;nnten Spanien in Zukunft als Exportnation konsolidieren. Das portugiesische Wirtschaftswachstum lauml;sst da schon etwas pessimistischer in die Zukunft blicken. Portugal ist nach wie vor das auml;rmste westliche EU-Land und kauml;mpft immer noch mit extremen Schwierigkeiten; nachhaltig Anschluss an europauml;ische Standards zu finden. Um eine Annauml;herung der Leistungsfauml;higkeit beider Lauml;nder zu erreichen; muss Portugal sich von arbeitsintensiven Produkten mit niedriger Wertschouml;pfung louml;sen und seinen Schwerpunkt auf mittlere und hochtechnologische Produkte verlegen.

Herman...like the sculptor who looks at a stone and realizes what it could be; Debbie Millman has transformed the book form into her own creation. It has become; in addition to its message; an Object.While reading the book Look Both Ways; by Debbie Millman; an enriching experience takes place. The cover is conventional; yet the palette and overlapping comma symbol on its front take on greater significance as the story unfolds. Opening the book; you first find a series of pages that resemble the chalkboards of childhood. As you begin to read; you are drawn; literally; into the text by the casual conversational way it is written. You might be reading someones notes in their lined hard cover black and white composition book. Or perhaps; it could be a diary. But soon enough; easyness in reading starts to give way to weaving eye movement as you are forced to follow the types gradual uneven changes. Along the way; you encounter some cross-outs and smudges which speak of first drafts; or suggest the spontaneity of only one draft; or the innocence of a childs first efforts. Periferally; you sense something more. The blackness of the chalkboard appears painted on. And toward the edges; color; quite pleasant; peeks through. This underpainting or layering suggests the artists hand; or brush as it were. And the white chalk-like script is immediate; and familiar; and common. So; there is a lot to see; and read; and think about on each of the pages. Sensitized now; you notice as you read; that the pages appear to take on an ever increasing sophistication as the child grows up; moves to the city; begins a career. This build-up increases in a gradual curve; almost imperceptible until you realize what is happening. The style is changing along with the author; as she reveals the various foibles and traumas of school; personal relationships; and work-related choices. In the last two essays; a fully realized marriage of art; style; and content suggest the satisfaction of having realized a dream. In one essay; the direction lines; flow chart-like; pace the author and the reader in a choppy but purposeful stride. The final essay contains shadowy; ghost-like echoes of words; barely perceptible in strategic yet visually scattered places (read between the lines). Floating on a sophisticated evolved backdrop; this final piece displays a secure and fully realized artists hand as well as a firm control of the medium. Millman has; despite her aha moment of choosing branding as a practical career; achieved what she tells us she really wants to be: an artist and a writer.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

And perhaps again the day after! I am in love with the weight of the paper and the handwritten and hand painted and cross stitched(??) words. I am inspired!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Look Inside; look around you.By shivasladyI never allowed brands to be big in my life and now I understand why.
