Todd Simmons » MBA Projects In the St. Edward’s Digital Media MBA program, I learned about a range of traditional business concepts and their application in a digital context. For example, our Project Management class was heavily focused on overseeing video game development. An overarching goal of the program was to prepare us to lead businesses in a rapidly changing digital environment. Marketing Market Research — For our Marketing Research class, we designed and conducted surveys and interviews on a topic relevant to a digital media industry. Project Management Project Plan — For our Project Management class, we were required to develop a project plan for a large, complex digital media project. Entrepreneurship Business Plan — I created this business plan for a fictional iPhone game company, along with two other students, as part of my MBA degree at St. Finance/Accounting Research/Analysis Policy and Ethics
7 Awesome Art Blogs to Look At People call Gen Y so many names, but perhaps one of the most likable that also strikes true is “the visual generation.” In fact, a new kind of “literacy” has been identified in digital natives who grew up immersed in visually-dependent, multimedia environments. Young people today respond more to imagery than any other generation before them, perhaps because new technologies have allowed more dynamic graphics on our screens, and these Photoshop amateurs have cultivated a more refined popular taste in design. And when has photography been more accessible than it is now, when anyone can come up with the best-looking compositions from their Canon digital SLRs? It’s only on rare occasions that we still call hired professionals to snap our precious moments. Despite this budding golden age in visual communications, the visual arts remain outside the mainstream. The Guardian’s Jonathan Jones on Art. Modern Art Notes by Tyler Green.

Tea for Three: Shunga Inspired Art by Jeff Faeber (NSFW) » Rush Blog–MUSIC | FASHION | ART | CULTURE “As one who has “fallen from grace,” as it were, I have a natural interest in the underdog, the discarded and unwanted. Hence, I often paint on or incorporate cardboard, trash, society’s forgotten, landfill-bound material. I react to what I feel is often an overly sanitised, saccharine façade that is projected on us by mass commercialisation, or groupthink (or religion or politics or whatever.) There is often beauty in despair. I hope to find hope in “ugliness,” in muted colours. View NSFW images below. For those of us who don’t know, Shunga–according to Wikipedia–is a Japanese term meaning “erotic art.” What that statement is, however, is up to your discretion.

Curator: Zoe Ryan Ryan’s pedigree includes stints with the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Van Alen Institute, but since 2006 she’s been ensconced at the Art Institute of Chicago as the Neville Bryan Curator of Design. In addition to curating a pair of shows dedicated to the work of Konstantin Grcic and the design consultancy Graphic Thought Facility, Ryan is also hard at work building the Art Institute’s first collection of contemporary design. “We’re actually working in reverse chronology to build the collection,” she says. “We’re collecting design from the last five years and then filling in as we find the precedents.” That commitment to the Campanas over Corbu has stood Ryan in good stead in the contemporary scene, and her next show—–Hyperlinks, set to open December 11—–embraces the increasing overlap between the creation of spaces, products, signage, and buildings. “Shows are never about a single work,” Ryan says.
Art More than 400 invited guests attended the opening event of The Art Hunter in Sydney on Tuesday night. The Art Hunter launch is a collaboration between The Cool Hunter and Jaguar, and the opening night was also the Australian debut of the spectacular Jaguar C-X17 concept car. To present The Art Hunter, we engaged our dream team of collaborators, led by the incomparable Natalie Longeon, Peter Pengly and Phil Barker from The Artistry (they designed and executed our Summer Lovers store as well), to transform a 500 m2 warehouse in Alexandria into a genuinely exciting, temporary three-week art exhibition experience. The Art Hunter is not a white-walled space where you quietly walk past pieces of art. Instead, it is an eclectic and vibrant environment where every wall is a different colour (by our paint sponsor Taubmans), where there is no natural light and where the work of more than 40 artists, curated by us, is not only on display but also for sale.
