A final word…
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say how proud I was of the presentation yesterday. Showcasing some beautiful work, elegantly articulating our outcomes, and managing to be both playful and professionally slick (and to time!) all at once.
I placed myself where I was in order to record the Q&A, but was so enchanted I forgot!
(If any fellow digital hoarders had their phone out and on video, please share!)
Great to see some of you for a chat afterwards. Fantastic end to a very rewarding studio – thanks so much and please go kick some more ass in Semester 2!
Next time you’ll hear from me will be when the marks are in for the final brief.
Cheers,
Stayci
Online media opportunity:
Here it is, as I received it 🙂
Do you want to write about Movies, TV, Anime, Arts, Comics, Games,
Literature or other art forms? Do you want to get your foot in the door
and enter the big-wide world of the online media and have your work read
and shared by millions of readers? We invite you to The Artifice:
http://www.the-artifice.com
The Artifice is an online magazine that covers a wide spectrum of art
forms. We do not run The Artifice, you do. The Artifice is collaboratively
built and maintained by your fellow writers. It is structured to let you
focus on the quality of the content while it deals with the exposure of it
to an audience of millions.
Instead of recycling the same entertainment news stories or publishing
commonplace editorials, The Artifice focus on unique topics that are
intellectually stimulating and meaningful.
Our current writers range from undergraduates, to graduates, to emeritus
professors and a bit of everyone in between.

Melbourne Web Fest pitching comp
As discussed in today’s studio, I strongly recommend participating – it’s a great festival and this contest, which had its inaugural outing last year, is reportedly excellent. A former student of mine made the cut to pitch live and loved the experience, both for the fun and the learning. Details here.
