    Being Young

    Decent presentation from MTV Asia looking at the relationship between the young and their media. I quite like "youth don’t need another website"… http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=mtv-asia-being-young-1204774154995613-4 | View | Upload your own Via

    Disarming Britain

    I saw this for the first time this morning. It’s the full length version of the promotional film produced by Channel 4 to support their ‘Disarming Britain‘ series of programmes which begins on 30th June. Bravo is all I can say.

I’ve seen lots of these sort of applications before (there’s a good round up of visualisation tools here), many based on tags which people have allocated to the content which they have uploaded.

    What’s Next In Media

    A few weeks ago, Paul shared an excellent presentation on What’s Next in Marketing & Advertising . I left a comment on his post about how I thought there could be a media and content perspective that would complement it, and he left one back saying he’d love to see it. So I’ve taken him…

    Old Films, New Take

    There's a new exhibition just opened at the Cosh Gallery in London (the Flickr set is here, Wallpaper writes about it here) that has challenged a range of artists and designers (Hellovon, Nathan Fox, Marian Bantjes) to create a new take on posters for some of their favourite films. It's an interesting exercise since in…
