Weird Sells - Get Noticed on the Internet

 

What is weird, well in the 21st century it's getting more and more difficult to define what is weird and what isn't. According to the dictionary one definition is "Of a strikingly odd or unusual character; strange". Surely that isn't enough any more? A quick look at eBay and you will find hundreds of items that would comply with that definition. Toast with faces on it, Glass jars containing Ghosts and numerous examples of weird and wacky objects, (well weird and wacky according to the people who have submitted them.) The sheer number of them should preclude them from being classed as Weird. Mainstream Newspapers now have pages of weird news and no shortage of people willing to appear on them. The nightly news no longer finishes with heart warming local story it finishes with some weird local happening Weird is big news.

It seems that weird and bizarre are now mainstream and are considered marketing tools or a gateway to 15 minutes of fame. In earlier centuries the highlight of the year was the visit of a circus or a fair and their cast of weird and wonderful characters and creatures. Queues would form outside the tents as people waited to see the latest freaks and bizarre sights. The Internet is the modern equivalent of the Freak Show and with a bit of planning and preparation you can use this desire for the weird and wacky to promote your site or your company.

Viral marketing is the key to your success, Find something that people will find funny and amusing and want to show their friends and you are halfway there. Some recent examples are the plumbers van that had a naked body painted on door so that it looked like a naked person was driving. The photograph traveled from inbox to inbox each time the name of the company was seen along with the URL of their site, it was picked up by local newspapers and local TV and the work flooded in (sorry for the pun!).

It doesn't take a big budget just a big imagination, Find something weird, photograph it watermark the photograph and place it on your site take some anti leeching precautions to stop people copying it and send the link out, visit a few forums and place the link in your signature, pass the photo to some of the many sites specializing in weird soon you will have a stream of traffic to your site.

Japonism - The History
The literal meaning of the French term Japonism, or Japonisme, is Japanese influence. French writer Jules Claretie (1840-1913) coined it in the book 'L'Art Francais en 1872,' to describe the impact of Japanese style on the European Art. Later, the word was adopted in English language as well. After almost 200 years of economic isolation, Japan opened up its channels for international trade around the mid-nineteenth century. This also opened up the route for social and artistic exploration. The Japanese Art forms became a huge fascination for the Western world when the World Exhibition of 1867 was held in Paris.
The Details
Japanese woodblock printing, Ukiyo-e, was among the first forms to make inroads in the Western Art. Asymmetrical patterns, flat (one-dimensional) designs, and bold lines characterize these works. The impact of such art did not remain confined to individual artists. Rather, it became a defining influence in the rise of significant genres, such as Impressionism, Cubism, and French style, Art Nouveau.
The Arts
A large body of work by the ace painter Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch 1853-90) carried a marked impact of Japanese woodblock prints. Japonism was a visible feature in the works of other well-known French artists also, including Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Claude Monet (1840-1926), Edgar Degas (1834-1917), and Gustav Klimt (Austrian - 1862-1918).
The Artworks

Gogh's 1887 oil work, 'Agostina Segatori Sitting in the Cafe' du Tambourin' features block prints, intricately fused with the green background. He created two pieces titled, 'Portrait of Pere Tanguy,' during 1887-88. It portrays evidently Japanese patterns at the back of the main figure. Van Gogh's 'Almond Blossom,' 'Butterflies and Poppies,' 'La courtisane,' 'The Blooming Plum Tree,' and 'Blossoming Acacia Branches' from his 1887 to 1890 collection, are some of the other examples of Japonism in his style.
