Why the understanding of Media Trends and technology convergence is critical to digtital sucess. How will the perception of Media Convergence affect us and the way we work?
Lecturer
Peo Strindlund, Apple.
"The convergence age"
From print and web design to 3D-motion, broadcasting and podcasting - the modern creative professional needs to be fluent in a dizzying variety of media.
The convergence age’ utilizes the Mac, at the very core of the creative process, to extend the creative desktop and expand customer reach beyond the traditional executions of print, radio and broadcast.
Providing innovative ideas with Apple tools and technologies, this seminar will demonstrate that media components can drive off each other, extending marketing reach and efficiency. This helps creatives and media organizations to develop better measurement of exposure to messages and provides greater access to customers.
To illustrate this, Apple experts will demonstrate Mac-based tools in a practical scenario – from concept through to production and delivery.
Apple will demonstrate and discuss two areas of focus:
a) The creative process, production and management of creative and brand assets
b) The distribution and tracking of assets through a variety of media contexts.

How to earn money for the digital platform? What effect has tools for business and organization?
Lecturer
Aftonbladet (S)
- 10:45 – 11:30 Visual Branding –Just as a brand is more than a logo, so design is more than splashing fancy paint over an existing brand. Design is where it all starts. Only when a thorough inventory of the emotional side of a brand is done, the right feel and expression is discovered. A staggering 83 percent of all information that's absorbed comes in through the eyes. This puts great demands on those responsible for the way a company ‘looks’. Was the visual identity clearly defined before production started? Or is it something consultants are supposed to make up as they go along? If so, chances are the market will not receive the brand as hoped.
