@Febaldissera ha twitado este post sobre Formación en creatividad interactiva de la Inusual Magazine y me pareció super interesante:
“La creatividad interactiva, aún hoy, sigue siendo un territorio bastante autodidacta. Una formación conseguida a base de pasión, trabajo duro y tropezar constantemente en innumerables piedras que encontramos en el camino y que, muchas veces, ponemos nosotros mismos. Pero, a medida que el mundo digital se hace más fuerte, evidentemente, empieza a formarse una buena base donde poder comenzar la andadura, donde poder actualizarse o donde poder poner un poco de orden en la creatividad interactiva.
En este monográfico vamos a proponeros algunos planes formativos de universidades, escuelas e incluso agencias, para que podáis conocer cuál es la oferta que a fecha de hoy, otoño de 2009, hay disponible. Entre las opciones que os planteamos hay variedad de oferta, algunas más teóricas, algunas con mayor presencia práctica. Eso sí, todas ellas pretenden ayudar a dar pasos firmes y formar profesionales que puedan hacer crecer más aún si cabe esta fértil industria interactiva.”

* En el listado, están universidades y escuelas españolas, mientras las agencias citadas son todas del extrangero (qué lástima!).
A partir de hoy añado otro idioma a mi blog: el castellano. La excusa podría ser que mañana empieza el FICOD 2009, pero el hecho de vivir en Madrid es más que suficiente… no? Ya era hora de escribir en español.
Los posts en inglés continuarán. Y no, no voy a traducir todos mis posts – simplemente porque no tengo tiempo ni ganas para hacerlo…
Nos vemos en el FICOD!
I’ve been soooo busy, burt here I am again!
Since the end of Festival PIC NIC I haven’t had time to post about it.
NO more excuses. That’s my final thoughts about the event.
It was cool structure wise. It really looked like an amusement park: little trailers with food and cocktails, interactive installations, the twitter tree, lots of colours and some other cool stuff. But there was a VIP area… I mean what’s up with that? Contradicts the whole interaction principle of the festival, right?
Anyway, it as an OK event. I have to admit I expected much more… It’s just that I thought I’d be “learning” much more, and most of the things I saw I already knew. Don’t wanna sound pretentious here, a lot of the cases presented were indeed new for me, but I cannot say the same about concepts, models and forecasts… you know? I did meet some people, but not as much as I wanted to. That’s what I was looking for: new ways of communicating, storytelling within business, cross media projects, etc. I’m glad I saw some nice initiatives in depth during a few workshops and Pic Nic Young.
That’s what I’m going to post here…

It’s not like I’m that into catwalks. Not really. What I really like is street fashion, the concept of I-D magazine when it started as a fanzine with photos taken on the streets of London, showing what people were wearing.
I’m just this outsider who doesn’t buy Vogue, but read fashion blogs instead. The type of girl that loves good ideas, DIY projects and some vintage, and since I’ve worked in a couple of fashion-related projects of course I do know what I’m talking about.
But no, I’m not gonna pretend I’m some kind of fashion expert. I’m not.
That said, London Fashion Week is all over the media and the web so I might as well dig my fingers on it. Just a little bit, just the finger nails.
Once more Top Shop’s New Generation scheme has shown what London fashion is all about. Pushing some limits here, a hint of punk there, a touch of sexyness.
But what really called my attention was Mark Fast’s show. I wasn’t there and I didn’t see ALL the designers’ shows. But this guy blew me away.
I know he’s not the first to do it, but it’s always good to see men in fashion celebrating the (REAL) female body, instead of – like my boyfriend says – conspiring against it with tooth-pic-legs women only. I’m not against the skinny ladies, I do think they look elegant and they also carry/display outfits in a beautiful beautiful way.
Still, it’s good to see some sexy curvy healthy girls wearing tight knitted dresses strolling down the catwalk. Isn’t it?

Here’s some of the words in his press release:
This season Mark will present garments in different size groups that will be categorized alphabetically rather than numerically. The purpose of the alphabetized size options is to draw focus to the concepts of draping, density and volume as they relate to women’s bodies and challenge traditional notions of fit and idealized body shape.
Mark’s innovative use of machine knitting techniques allows for him to sculpt areas of volume and tension over the body. Mark produces timeless, beautiful, handcrafted pieces using the finest elastomeric yarns blended with viscose and embellished with crystals, pearls and leathers. His work is a celebration of the female body and the many worlds that surround it.
