BRACAU 27 BLOG'S

I cant believe it's almost june! It is time for our next stop on the virtual road trip. We are almost at the end, so please enjoy while we are still out there. In this video, two Digital Media students talk about their last projects – Fluffbabes and Skopunkten. I personally think that they do some really exciting work!

Last friday a group of Hyper Island students called Creatives unlimited was nominated for Best company commercial and Best moving media in Guldeken. (Guld means gold or golden, and eken is the swedish word for 'the oak'. So the correct translation would be the golden oak.)

I asked my co-worker Sofie who was there to write a few words about the evening:

"Guldeken is a contest within the field of commercials, entrepreneurship and communication. The contest was held in Karlskrona in an old cinema which is now an art gallery. The evening was filled with awards, mingle, delicious snacks, drinks and music in a really neat environment!

Unfortunately, Creatives Unlimited. didn't receive any award, but we are really proud of them for being nominated in two categories! Well done Digital Media 2009 Karlskrona!"

For pictures from Guldeken have a look at Sydöstran.se.

We are proud to announce that Hyper Island CEO Mattias Hansson will be moderating this years Moving Images! Moving Images is an annual conference for companies active in the moving image industry. Here people within motion picture, TV, computer games, web and mobile platforms, meet to be inspired and discuss future cross media solutions.

This year’s theme: Who Can Tell? casts light on the story behind the story. Who tells the stories today? Is user-generated content taking over? What does the future look like? Moving Images 2008 will give you some plausible answers, fuel the debate and help you keep ahead in your business.

It is graduation time here at Hyper Island and it is time for our students to try their own wings. I talked to some of the students who graduated a year ago, about what they have been up to and if they learned anything at Hyper Island, that they find useful now. This is what Sarah Ejermark who took our Business Management program answered.

Hi Sarah! What have you been up to since you graduated a year ago?
- It’s been an amazing year! I started up the company Insight together with Lisa Anderson and Jörgen Jonsson. www.insight.se

What do you do there?
- We are a small management company who focus on helping people who work together to become more effective - together and by themselves. We contribute to the longterm increase of wellbeing, profit and quality for companies, groups and individuals with the help of effective tools, insights about themselves and others.

Do you like it?
- Love it – Lisa and I have changed our post address to “outside comfort zone” for good!! Scary and wonderful!

What did you think of your time at Hyper Island?
- One of the best choices I have ever made. It exceeded my expectations by a million miles.

Did you learn anything specifik that you find useful now?
- Just about everything we learned! Organization diagnostics, understanding a brand, working with clients…

What was the best part of your Hyper Island experience?
- HIM1 - my class – the love

Do you have any advice for our new students?
- The more you give – the more you get!

Summer is as good as here and while we are busy planning our summer holidays it is time for the 7:th stop on our virtual road trip. In this video, Paul Collins - Interactive Art Director at the advertising agency Åkestam Holst, talks about his dream project and what is important when working as an Art Director.

We have recieved a lot of applications this year both from Sweden and the rest of the world. I asked Wesley Jones to write and explain why he applied. This is what he replied:

Hi!

My name is Wesley Jones, a Midwestern boy – born and raised. My path to design began while working with my father. Around him I found a great interest in video and film. Later, I acquired an appreciation for print design and have continued in that direction by graduating with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and working in the field as a print designer. In this position I continue to grow and now hunger for more opportunities to work with web design and motion graphics.

You should also know I'm kind of an animation freak influenced by 80s and 90s pop culture. Cartoons rock. So Flash has always been something I have tried to learn. I need to be fully engrossed in it though and be able to bounce ideas and questions off people. So that's where school comes in.

I wanted to learn all I can about flash and motion graphics while developing leadership skills and getting a sense for the business on a global scale. Since I have finished college I have asked several interactive designers and developers what the best school to go to in the world would be for web/interactive design. They all say with out hesitation…. Hyper Island.

I chose hyper over a grad school or portfolio school for three reasons:

1: The reputation
The students are able to work with some of the best agency and studios in the world, not only for an internship, but also afterwards as well.

2:The Education Style
The students work together in groups on projects and help each other out. They are put in leadership position and have to work with real life situations like pitching to a client and get funding for jobs. They also learn the programs that are current and will be used in the field.

3: The World
I want to realize my destiny as a global citizen and as a student of the world. It's important to be able to know how to market to the demographic in Sweden, Japan, France, South Africa, etc.

I think Hyper Island has allot to offer as a school.

Peace

It is time for our sixth stop on our virtual roadtrip. In this video, the Digital Media student Yvonne Lu talks about her last project and the cool animated video that was the outcome of that project. Enjoy!

As you probably know by now, our Business Management students graduated last week. One of the students who graduated and already has a great job is Elin Johansson. I asked her some questions about what she thought of her Hyper Island experience.

Congratulations on your graduation. How does it feel to have graduated?
- After finishing upper secondary school I felt totally lost. But after my graduation from Hyper Island I feel there is a whole world open for me and more opportunities than days of the week. I’m leaving the school with grief because I will miss everyone at school and the “Hyper bubble” we created but I’m also exited to start working and practice what I have learned.

What did you think of the time at Hyper Island?
- I think I always will look back and see my time at school as something that changed me as a person, my values and my way to look at leadership. Even if I end up doing something that isn’t connected to my education would still be grateful for all the things I’ve learned about myself and others.

Was it what you had expected?
- Yes and no. I expected hard work, fun education and a broader network and this came true. But I didn’t expect to develop so much as a co-worker, a leader and a human.

Is there anything special that you learned here that you will find useful in the future?
- To always take responsibility for my own life and for the choices I make.

What was the best part?
- The lectures, my classmates, our projects and our co-workers at school. And all the hard parts during school – everything that went wrong, all the downs in our projects and the feeling when we succeed to turn them around to something good.

Where did you do you internship?
- I did my second internship at a digital agency in Norway called Apt. Almost immediately I got my own projects to run and was treated like a co-worker and not an intern.

What was that like?
- It was the best! I had a great time and learned a lot about both project management and technical stuff I never thought of before. Of course there were ups and downs but I see them as something developing and educational. I asked for a challenge on my internship interview and I really got one.

What will you do now that you have graduated?
- I liked my internship so much I decided to stay and I guess they are fond of me as well because I got employed a month before the ending of my internship. So I have moved all my stuff to Oslo to continue to have fun.

Last week our Business Management students graduated in Karlskrona. Of course this was celebrated with champagne and strawberries! Here are some photos from the graduation day. For more photos go to this site.

Megan Denise Fox
American actress and model

Megan Denise Fox (born May 16, 1986) is an American actress and model.

Fox's career in modeling and acting began with her winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. She began her acting with the film Holiday in the Sun (2001), later appearing in the films Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Crimes of Fashion, and the TV series The Help (all 2004). She is well known for her roles on the television series Hope & Faith (2004) and in the 2007 film Transformers.

Fox was dubbed "the sexiest woman in the world" for 2008 in a non-scientific online poll conducted by the men's magazine FHM.

Last week our students in Stockholm finished their Design Specialisation and we asked one of the students, Susan Nygren, to write something about it on this blog:

"During our last module, Design Specialisation 2, we worked with a real customer and a real project. We had a lot of fun and learned many things during our 4 weeks of work. The experience of learning was more intense beause now we got a direct insight of how a real company works and what it needs, from a design point of view.

All though it was fun, it was also a whole lot of work and a very short time to get it finished, so therefore we ones again learned the importance of planning and finding a clear structure in the project group when it came to who-works-with-what.

The uniqueness of this module was that we for the first time only worked towards a company as designers and nothing else and it was a challenge to be sure of how to handle a situation of both management and designing.

On the other hand I think that a confidence arose of handeling many different tasks at once and eventually we had a successful result and the customer was very satisfied.

I personally see that module as a great source of knowledge and experience for my own professional future as a designer.

/Susan Nygren."
