I write about how things feel – in words and images. See pinned.

What is brand?

"A brand is a person's gut feeling about a product, service, or company."

- Marty Neumeier

Feeling comes first.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@mandolinaes It certainly does.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@DesignReviewed That's the kind of thing you'd feel guilty about not paying promptly, because of its sheer artistic power.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@champone Careful to only demonise the conniving propagandists, not the people fall for it.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@rodneyreem @notboxedin @rahsh33m Read the book Untypical, by Pete Wharmby.

If you dare.

And don't even bother; you're already muted.

Have a nice day 'Rodney'.

@ILoveSnooker_ I could swear the snooker balls were heavier in the old days.
Listen to the sound of the clack with every contact.

@naijiriyy Although I would hesitate to describe autistic people as weak, I'd say the post above is *acutely* relevant to the experience of autistic Muslims (of which I am one).

To anyone who sees this:

Read the book Untypical, by Pete Wharmby.

Don't start saying "yeah but".

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@SalahIranee If I remember correctly, Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen also held that possessing images *for remembrance* is not permissible.

A subtle distinction but an important one.

And Allah knows best.

@Blackadder0001 @politicsusa46 Thank you for proving the point of the original video, and also for revealing your fasc tendencies.

You "don't really care" about accuracy; you merely want to have a dig.

Have a nice mute, Benito!

Ciao grazie! 🛵

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@Blackadder0001 @politicsusa46 Not a nice try, Adders.

Funnily enough, your claim is addressed and refuted in the video.

Have a watch of it again and have a nice day!

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@politicsusa46 "Keep 'em dumb n poor" is a very accurate summary.

The poverty has been achieved via Brexit.

Now it's just a matter of relentlessly drilling fear into people so they stop thinking.

Funnily enough that's exactly what you see Tommy Ten Names and Five Mil Nige doing....

@OOCSnooker A native speaker of Mandarin does rather tend to expose the weakness of AI subtitles....

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@Reuben_Wu Well then.

My criticism is of the post-processing.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@tylekki @Reuben_Wu Tripods, long exposure, and post-processing are different things, Ty.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@Reuben_Wu @tylekki So not a trace of post-processing involved, not one iota of emphasis?

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@Reuben_Wu @tylekki Briefly (because I'm not getting paid for this):

Stars heavily emphasised, central peak detail very prominent relative to the one on the right.

Light heavily emphasised in the second.

Overall closer to digital illustration than photography.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@gatesisavirus @5Pillarsuk I've never met any Muslim who says that. But ho hum.

Any road, you can't stop people who are **born and raised in this country** from entering Islam.

Have thasel' a nice day, lad.

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@5Pillarsuk I wonder if they were on the lookout for Muzlamic ray guns.

"I'm ere to protest, right..." (after 15 pints, of course)

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@iainoverton Did someone say Carter-Ruck?

;)

[David Dawud Coen @onlydavidcoen]

@TheCopyTitan Ohh c'mon, don't we all LOVE being told how to run things?
