PlanetShifter.com Lands

Eric Needle — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 13:06:11 +0000

I started PlanetShifter.com with developer Cheth Rowe and graphic artist Andrea Fuenzalida over six months ago because we need everybody’s ideas and vision to re-build a healthier, sustainable and just world. We need to take risks. I want us to reach past our self-interest and fears to risk and share in new sustainable solutions.

Somebody just asked me if I would have started this project if I had known where the world economy would be on 03/03/09. I told her,” Yes!” We need to come together now!

PlanetShifter.com is a virtual people resource collective and transparent by design: you are a member and you have works to share and critiques to share and a new product or service to nail. We will strive to be inclusive, to allow all members equal access to the site tools and the data base. As you know, unlike other art upload machines like DeviantArt.com and Sketchloader.com, PlanetShifter.com will never own your paintings or songs – just as to share them for a while!

When you bring an image to the group or discuss a point in a comment thread, you may be adding to the next big green thing. We are a free evaluation or test group for your idea. But if you start and stop at “log-in” we are hopeless lost without your ideas and active vision.

PlanetShifter.com is not designed or intended to be the photo-gossip mill at FaceBook.com or the late night groove pipe on MySpace.com. These places do play a small role in connecting us but do not foster the innovation and change that we need now. It is time to stop playing darts and begin re-tooling the scene.

PlanetShifter.com is an innovation space for a global reckoning. Please don’t stop now. Know that we will return the effort you make as if our lives — and the life of the planet — depend on it.

Here are statements from new members

Creating and sustaining art, the written/spoken word, and music through a means of awareness of the living planet and beautifying the environment and changing lives/minds.
Think before you trash it. Stop and think first. Pause. Let the action be for the greater good!
Planting my garden, working to make this world a beautiful place, thru positive clean living, upfull music…
I want a better world for my children.
I strive to find ways to support renewable energy and save resources. Those two things are equally important. I grow my own food and buy as local as I find humanly possible.
I care about the future of humanity, am worried about the way we mismanage the planet and each other, but am hopeful for tomorrow because even though I see all that is bad about us, I also meet and talk with people who get it and who are working and making a difference.

Managing the News

Eric Needle — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 14:59:26 +0000

News is a very powerful medium. It can help tell your story and illustrate who you are, who you've worked with, and where you're going. And yet, many organizations don't effectively use public relations to communicate.

Star Center Shines

Eric Needle — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:29:46 +0000

Creating a new identity for your organization is never taken lightly. When Jeanette Soucy of the Star Center came to us, we knew that an NPO that does so much for kids with Autism (and other learning disabilities) deserved a brand that helped them shine.

Picture Tells A Story

Eric Needle — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:02:12 +0000

A picture is worth a thousand words. Often, tech companies have a hard time explaining what they do. One niche we often find ourselves filling is distilling or refining a complex message into visuals that wider audiences can understand. Engineers sometimes communicate what their companies do, rather than showing the need their products can fill. Illustration and animation tell the story.

Sheets that Sell

Eric Needle — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 15:24:06 +0000

Sell sheets are quick, focused collateral that you can hand to a prospect at a trade show or after a sales pitch. Often product identity and marketing is the last thing we think about as we prepare for that big event. Here a little strategy goes along way.

Scalable Graphics For All Media

Eric Needle — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 14:59:10 +0000

Many of our clients need illustration and more often and not, it's in a rushed scenario. Though photoshop and raster image editors are great in a pinch, the power of vector drawing is worth the extra energy.

Managing Your Internet Content

Eric Needle — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 20:03:48 +0000

Many organizations and businesses face great challenges when it comes to continually keeping their sites fresh. Community-based NPO's and groups of faith are among those who need to keep its members up to date. Whether it's big events or small group meets, the people who most need all this updating often just can't justify the expense.

Designing Print That Works

Eric Needle — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 20:52:13 +0000

So often, brochures and printed materials are made at great expense, but do not work towards your overall goals. Each document that comes from your organization are opportunities to reinforce your brand, your message and the vision of who you are.

Projecting Your Brand

Eric Needle — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 20:41:51 +0000

The word branding has become commonplace, yet few organizations really tap into the full potential of their brands. Branding is really a very simple practice. Ranchers of the American frontiers marked their cattle with a distinctive mark, a brand, to be able to tell them apart at a crowded marketplace. Today, your brand is no different.

Messaging That Grabs

Eric Needle — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 20:13:50 +0000

Messaging quickly communicates, grabs and keeps your attention, and is a critical factor is the way to speak to your audiences. Headline news is the de-facto standard in our over-communicated society. To be seen, message needs to be concise, to the point, and simply worth reading.

Communicating Community

Eric Needle — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 19:50:25 +0000

How does an organization reach its base, project's its message, build support and fulfill its mission? You do all this and more with communications. Communications means all the media we use. Using the Internet, communications can create, build and nurture community.
