We had a board meeting today and it was me who asked for it. I received some feedback yesterday regarding the second sendout and the copy on it. I felt that we had three choices of what to do; start over, change it a little, or ignore the feedback. Ignore the feedback wouldn’t be right, and start over would be a question about money as well as pushing a deadline, while changing it a little might be too little. Read more »
This is so cool! David at Fi in New York has put this video on his kontain. I can’t even describe how I feel, but I’m so happy. Everything hey say, everything they show is all we wanted for this first sendout. All the questions they have. This is the first responds we have found, so let’s hope there will be more.
Today Henrik Porseland asked me if it was to late to add people and agencies to our sendout list. I looked at the pile of envelopes ready to be sent out and then asked why he was asking. The reason why it could be to late was a) because we bought material for all the three sendouts, b) deadline for adding agencies was past, and c) the layout on the website was now set for the 53 agency logos we have decided on.
Henrik is the lead developer of the class project and told me he could fit more logos. The material can be bought, and the deadline was for us to get started. But we shouldn’t limit the list since it is our way to get attention from the agencies we are impressed by. So I told Henrik we can add six companies.
Welcome to the list:

Trollbäck+Company

This category and these posts were published on May 15th, 2010. For five months my class has been working on a class promotion project, which has been secret until now. During this time I have been writing posts but only to save them as drafts. Now it’s no secret anymore, so here is my story.
Andreas Kleiner had the idea of writing something in Latin in the logo. Today I emailed some professors from different universities here in Sweden to double check the sentence we had. Andreas and I had both used different online tools to write the sentence so we know we needed some expertize on the subject.
I was surprised how fast I got replies. Surprised and very happy. So now we have two sources saying the same thing, and the sentence you see in our logo is this:
Qui ex insula veniunt, which mean “they who come from the island”.

What motivates you in your work & in which areas could you see yourself working in a couple of years?
To always learn new things, people with a positive attitude, and a good and strong concept are things that motivates me.
In a couple of years I will be working as an Art Director or Producer in a creative environment with people I learn from, and where I can share my knowledge as well.

What is your passion?
One of my passions is running. I love it because I love to challenge myself. It clears my mind and gives me new ideas when working on a project.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I find my inspiration in people I meet, places I visit, and music I listen to.
Today Åse Holte sent me some photographs of me from the photoshoot. I’ll get to pick which one I like the best and that is the one that will be shown on the class site. Here is the image I liked the best.
Here is the list of agencies that will receive our sendouts. We will send out three envelopes and the last one will include a personal code for logging in to the invite site the Production Team is working on.

Back and forth, back and forth. But now I’m the producer of the Promotion team (again). This because of the help Åse needs from Karin for the photo shoot. Karin and I talked last Friday and the plan was for us to work really close, meetings after each board meeting and so on. But now this changed and I think it will be great.
I know I have a big part in this back-and-forth ongoing thing being confused with what role I want to take on, but I can honestly say that this makes me happy. And all I want is for the Promotion team to feel motivated, to be aware of the process of everything, and to work and have fun.
