Worth Repeating

Digital Storytelling As Documentary Process

Creating Programming For Digital Media

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Thornhill Design Laboratory
Business, Communications Design

A lot of the information in this week’s news started as just thoughts a few weeks ago, beginning notes last week and bear repeating this week.

Production meetings will start after the Thanksgiving celebrations and my travel to Arizona. 

I am still convinced that creating a solid base, scheduling the details, understanding that continuous improvement is a great model for product development and that collaboration amongst smart partners is the path to an enduring success.

We’re building our radio show!  Yours and ours that is…

Want to talk about it?  Join us at the next Salon on November 28, 10:00 AM.  Coffee and donuts galore!  If that date can’t work – we are scheduled for every Wednesday through the end of the year.

Over the next few weeks, as we work towards a Happy New Year, there will be announcements of changes in the rhetoric, structure and planning for The Thornhill Design Laboratory.

Earlier in 2012 we talked about changes in the Lab – and that these would be led by laying the groundwork for a truly advanced communications system.  We’re on it!

1.

The TDS NEWS will expand.  TDS NEWS Digital will work closely with the print edition. 

2.

We are charging along with “Changes” the continuing saga of our development of a fully integrated “Digital Landscape.”

3.

As indicated recently, there will be at least two blogs.  The initial release will continue to cover the expansive realm of Thornhill Digital Storytelling.  The second will be a catch-basin for all projects under the Design Laboratory umbrella.

4.

And now, there will be an enormous addition to the mix.  A radio show dedicated to our mutual fascination with design.  Here’s the work ahead of us:

·         Building a crew…

·         Audio Starter & Updates

·         The Radio Show

·         Internet Distribution

·         Broadcast Distribution

Each Presentation will cover the whole forest.  The writers, researchers, designers and on-air talent will have a lot to work with.  Check this inventory:

(1) The Thornhill Design Lab Salon
A weekly synopsis of everything connected to the Thornhill Design Laboratory.  Ongoing development includes Administration, The Digital Landscape, Database Management, Financial Planning, Editorial, Design Continuity, Integrated Marketing Planning, Partners and Sponsor Presentations.

What is design?  Aesthetics for inspiration, product development, financial planning and real-world
case studies are included - create using function and form.  Design efficient operations structures,
work processes, digital networks, multi-platform media programming and manufacturing to
proceed aggressively in the digital-led economy.  You will better understand and
appreciate the talents of designers, storytellers, planners and artists.

 (5) Production & Learning Studio

Exciting!

And with these fantastic changes comes growth and opportunities for others.  To respond to partners requests we are traveling a bit.  Will we see at either of these stops?
