Up and coming street magazine written by students

My name’s Ella and I’m currently collaborating with a few RMIT students in a variety of disciplines to create and eventually publish a street magazine that will go by the name of “Stalker”. The magazine will be written by people aged 18-24 and is focussed on Melbourne’s youth art and culture scene. Think art, photography, fashion, music reviews (a combination of the magazine “Frankie” and “Russh”) I send this to you all as an opportunity to be involved in something really creative and potentially really successful. I have done street zine’s in the past and they have all been extremely well received. (MOKO magazine 2009, www.myspace.com/therealmokomagazine). If anyone is interested in being a part of the magazine as a contributor (art, articles etc.) then I’d love to be contacted at either stalkerzine@gmail.com

Sattya Media Arts Collective

Sattya Media Arts Collective is a resource network for artists, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and other creative types of people in Nepal. It aspires to be a hub for DIY culture, collaboration, inspiration, and learning for emerging media artists.
But more than providing resources, Sattya also aims to inspire social and personal change though the sharing of stories in Nepal. Our vision is two fold:
By supporting emerging media makers, we hope that they will be able to tell the stories that matter to them in whichever medium they work in.
By promoting media arts, we hope to bring about new perspectives, creativity, and dialogue among people.
We aim to create a future where media creation is accessible to people from different backgrounds, a community in which we can learn from and support each other, and an environment where independent media artists can thrive.

Intellectual Property Video Competition

Hi Paul, I thought I would send you a quick email to see how you and your students were going with the Hard Sell video competition, and to pass on some inspiration and hints and tips for your students. Mick in the Marketing team has had a go at creating his own video commercial to prove that you don’t need a lot of money, equipment or time to shoot an effective 60 second commercial about Intellectual Property (IP). Mick shot his video in a weekend using only a digital camera and a tripod. His mates did the acting and his dad did the voice over. To view Mick’s video and his hints and tips on creating a quality video, check out the Hard Sell webpage.
