45 New Digital Media Resources
I’m often asked how I keep abreast of the changes in technology. Interest is my number one response. Ever since earning my Masters Degree in Media Studies from The New School, NYC, I’m fascinated at how people use technology. So, in order to keep current, I snoop around, ask questions, read a variety of blogs [like Mashable for example], and I attend conferences and/or present at them.
Here’s a good article for those seeking to find some new digital media resources. 45 of them in fact.
David’s Letter to Santa
My nephew wrote this letter to Santa. It says it all.
Hugo
Over the weekend I saw Martin Scorsese’s newest movie, Hugo. Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. This is a beautiful movie with a tight story, very well cast and interesting to boot. I highly recommend.
Obama for America Artworks
Obama for America invited artists from across the country to volunteer their creativity to support President Obama’s jobs plan and the campaign. Now it is time to vote. Luckily, you get 3 chances to vote. Here’s my favorite, from Julie, Seattle, WA.
I love this one because of the bold use of color, which draws the eye into the design [you’d see this one from across the street]. Julie has cleverly manipulated the typography to ‘work’ and communicate the idea of jobs and she placed the crane image perfectly to allow our eyes to ‘move’ through her design. Julie also complimented the poster by repeating the iconic star [in blue] and allowed just enough of the blue, behind the red to peek out. Was she symbolizing the ‘blue skies’ of new jobs coming to America?
