So it’s the middle of February, meaning MIDTERMS….yup…A very busy week which I hope will be over soon. Also, I think that studying for Econ is actually killing my creative side. Luckily, I have this class. This week consisted of two responses, two video creates and one daily create. 9th dailycreate Response to Roger Ebert ...

“Extreme high angle shots make characters into pawns; low angles make them into gods”. I love how this rhymes… Roger Ebert mentions many other rules of filmography and photography, like the golden ratio or the thirds rule.

It was a cold morning and even though I was angry I had class at 8:30 AM, somehow the snow made me smile! (which you can’t see because of my scarf)

Another week has passed. Sadly, I could not do this summary on a sunday, because I was stuck on Union Station in Chicago, but that deserves its own blog post. This week consisted of two daily creates, the first one was something I must do every day, and of course, I had to upload a ...

In his article in the Harvard Business Review, Soumitra Dutta successfully argues that it is absolutely vital for businesses to be creating comprehensive strategies in the area of social media. He mentions the very funny, but absolutely sensible example of Tom Dickson, the man behind the blender and his sensational Youtube show “Will It Blend?”. ...
