Libby - Digital eBook Application Prototype for Swedish publishing house Natur & Kultur.

This is an application made by The Hyper Island students Cecilie Lund Madsen, Erik Öhlen, Fredrik Weinestad and August Björnberg.
The mission was to create an digital solution that would distribute and handle digital literature online and/or offline. 53 Colors created "Libby" that is an online/offline application for computers and mobile devices. The key features gives the user to buy/browse through Natur & Kultur's range of student and other literature, store the material on the web and externally, go interactive with other users in forums and reviews. Another tool that we focused alot on is the 'Reader' which gives the student tools to improve the speed and quality of their learning.

So worth it, is a Video made by a group of hyper island students.

Hi Nathan, Interactive Art Director student. Tell us about this vid:

- It was Created for Doritos Presents: Crash the Super Bowl. Johan Blomborg, Johan Dettmar, Erik Öhlen, Viveca Forsblom Ljungdahl and myself collaborated to come up with something fun and original for the brief. In the end, we created something between slap stick humor and David Lynch style storytelling. All in all we had a great time working together on the project.

So Worth It from Nathan Ross on Vimeo.

As had been speculated earlier this week, Kevin Jonas of the Jonas Brothers married his longtime girlfriend, Danielle Deleasa, on Saturday (December 19) at the luxurious Oheka Castle on New York’s Long Island. Kevin’s brothers Joe and Nick both served as his best man. Despite a blizzard the blanketed most of the Northeast, the ceremony went on as planned.

“We’re so happy that we’re finally married and we were able to share the special moment with family, friends and loved ones,” the couple, who held the wedding at the French chateu style estate, told People. 400 guests were in attendance, including Demi Lovato. Deleasa’s dad, Thomas, walked the bride, who wore a strapless tulle and chantilly lace Vera Wang gown, down the aisle. She also wore a silk-and-crystal flower in her hair — an homage to the flower she wore in her hair the day the pair met in 2007.

“The snow only made it look more like a winter wonderland,” Michael Russo, a celebrity event planner of Roses-n-Lollipops who worked with the couple for Saturday’s event, told People. The event had a fairy-tale-forest theme, including 14-foot trees covered in hydrangeas and crytals designed to look like icicles all under heated white tents. He added, “Danielle looked like a princess. Kevin couldn’t stop smiling.”

The pair exchanged traditional wedding vows as well as bands they designed for one another from Jacob & Co. At the reception, guests dined on Caribbean, Asian and Italian foods. “Kevin has said many times he feels like he met his princess,” Russo said. “To see them together you can feel the warmth and the love all around them. They are just perfect for each other.”

Jonas, 22, and Deleasa, a 23-year-old former hairdresser from New Jersey, got engaged in July. They met in 2007 while their families were vacationing in the Bahamas. At the time the band was still up-and-coming and Deleasa has admitted that she didn’t even know who the Jonas Brothers were. Kevin pursued Deleasa after he spotted her on the beach. “It still feels like a dream,” she told People about the engagement.

Congrats to the couple, now go have fun with each other.

Schools need to be aware of the demands and needs that exist in the industry and according to "Svenskt Näringsliv" Hyper Island "are right on the money"
–The idea is to keep school as close to the industry as possible, says Christian Olsson, Marketing Director at Hyper Island. The collaboration starts with the curriculum and all tasks and assignments are closely linked to "real" industry demand.
Christian also explains that the Hyper Island students take responsibility for their own development, but Hyper Island is supplying them with a "smorgasbord" of different opportunities.

YH myndigheten has made a short film about Hyper Island. Check it out! (in Swedish)

There is a new feature on the Hyper Island website called video of the week. This is the latest published video, Motion Peace, a short piece by Motion Graphics Designer Linus Lundin, Claudio Salas, Oscar Höglund and Marte Breivik.

The results from the Concept & Development module in Stockholm was presented at Färgrabriken last week. The module was an exercise in taking an idea and turning it into a full scale business concept. The idea from the facilitators was to create a Dragon's Den-like environment to give the presentations an extra dimension. The dragon's were The Klara Kviberg, project manager, Tomas Seo, planner, & Göran Pallmar, investor.

Swedish branding agency Essen came to Hyper Island last week to discuss the importance of a strong concept behind the design. Read more on the Essen website

Andrew and Zach from Goodby,Silverstein & partners came to Hyper Island Stockholm on Thursday 3 December. It was Andrew's first time here, and he was very pleased.

– It has really been great, Sweden and Stockholm is fantastic and the students here are golden!

Zach has visited Hyper Island several times so we asked him: Zach, how come you keep coming back all the time?

– I guess that it's because of the depth of understanding of new media that the students here have, and also the amount of tools they can use to channel their skills. We don't see this level at many other schools

– The international constellation of every work group is also part of the school's strength. I actually come here to meet the future of this industry, and to see what they're up to.

On our global tour to find the future talents of the digital media industry we have finally reached the Swedish capital. On Saturday 5 December the Hyper Island premises on Telefonplan, Stockholm will be open to all of you who think that you have what it takes. All you need to do is to apply for a seat at the recruitment day. Don't be a stranger.

See you in Stockholm!
