Projects Igniting Change



Teaming up with the Adobe foundation, Worldstudio launched a new project called Design Ignites Change in which high school and college students will be encouraged to use their design skills to take part in projects that encourage social change.  A major part of the initiative is a mentoring program in which the high school students will be encouraged by older students and working professionals.  It is a great program that pushed teenagers to get involved in their community through the use of their talents.  

"Creativity holds enormous power for fostering positive social change.  Instilling this ideal in the next generation of creative professionals is core to Design Ignites Change."

Customized Newspapers?

MediaNewsGroup, the nation's fourth-largest newspaper chain, has developed a newspaper service that allows people to customize the information they would like to include in their newspaper.  In direct response to the individualization  allowed through the internet, a prototype of the concept will be released this summer at the Los Angeles Daily News.  MediaNewsGroup is also working with a technology company to develop a printer specifically to print out the newspaper once created.  Clearly, not fully developed, the idea has generated much skepticism and ridicule.

Great Presenting

In Seth Godin's March 5th blog entry, he discusses the two essential elements needed to be a great presenter: Respect from the audience and Love to the audience.  The audience needs to believe that you are there to give them your all and your love comes in the form of wanting to motivate and inspire them.  If the audience doesn't respect you, you must find a way in the beginning to gain that respect.  This could include how you are introduced to what you are wearing.  You must have confidence and realize its not about you, its about what you are presenting and ultimately, the audience.
