One great day in Stockholm

I started the day with meeting Oskar at Hyper Island, Stockholm at 8am. We talked about the upcoming meeting and gathered some information that we wanted to present. And at 9am the board meeting started where both Oskar and I are representing the two Digital Media classes.

The meeting went really well. It was cool to get so much information about Hyper Island from a totally different perspective and I feel like the others at the meeting felt the same way when Oskar and I talked through our perspective. The meeting went on for three hours, but it really didn’t feel that way. It was always a discussion and everyone got to say what was on their mind. We also decided that the next meeting will be in February and it will be held in Karlskrona.

In the afternoon I had two more meetings, One with the head  of marketing at Hyper Island. We were talking about student business cards, but I’ll get back to that when I have more information to share.

At 3pm I had another meeting. When I was in Stockholm last time for the Experience Technology I talked to a guy at the exhibition. He liked our idea then and I thought to contact him about this project as well. He is working on applications, so that was a perfect match since that is what my group is working on right now. I meet Fredrik and his team and we talked for over an hour and I got so much feedback and plenty of input. I’m super excited about our project now, even though we are changing it a little…

Module: Concept and Development

We started this day with some evaluation for the group I was in during Experience Technology, First we gave the group feedback and we were suppose to give individual feedback as well, but we didn’t have the time before it was time for the next module introduction.

Today Jonas Lidman came to Hyper Island, Karlskrona to introduce the module Concept and Development. It is a four week module and we are suppose to have a written and thought through business plan in the end of it. On November 19th we are pitching our idea and business plan for five-six people and maybe one or more wants to invest in our ideas. Who knows?

I’m in a really good group for this project as well. We choose the group members on our strengths and weaknesses. Pretty interesting actually. During this module I’m with Theo Stråhlén (again), Andreas Kleiner, and Karin Idering.

Module: Experience Technology

I was really excited when the module Experience Technology started. On Tuesday Petter Warnsberg came to present the module, but we didn’t get our groups until Wednesday. And when I got my group I was even more excited. I’ve been working with Christoffer Erneholm and Theo Stråhlén before and I feel that we have the same goals and passion for what we do. I’ve been wanting to work with Daniel Dominguez and Alexander Gårdenberg, for their knowledge in design, good communication, and presentation skills and now I will.

Everyone is participating, and the level of work is super high and I think this depends on the smaller team building we had on Wednesday. We set the roles and the responsibilities and expectations that came with each role so everyone knows what they are doing.

Today we have been doing some serious idea development and we are so excited of what we can come up with and we all want the best idea there is.
