Next week, I’ll be in San Francisco, with Nina Maja, checking out the great city – wearing flowers in our hair (maybe).
But first, for three days, we’ll attend SNDSF – the annual workshop in Society for News Design – with more than 50 speakers from organizations like Facebook, New York Times, BuzzFeed, Fusion, Washington Post and ProPublica, covering a wide range of topics like data visualization, design thinking, user experience, development, illustration, art direction and video.
And hey, even I am in the program – albeit only for five minutes:
On Saturday, I’ll be giving a “Lightning Talk” presentation, true pecha kucha style: 20 slides, 15 seconds for each slide! Wauw! It’ll be a blast! It’ll be my five minutes of fame – or a disaster. Whichever – it’ll be great fun.
I’ll show my personal favorites among winners from the last ten years in the Best of Scandinavian News Design competition – making the point that there are (at least) “10 good reasons why print will not die“. So, see you Saturday in San Francisco, maybe?

I denne uge lukkede Galleri Lisse Bruun. Efter 42 år på adressen i Store Kongensgade i København, heraf de sidste 25 som galleri, sagde Lisse og Svend tak for denne gang til kunstnere, venner og kunder gennem alle årene. Et vindue til kunst er forsvundet fra bybilledet, og de hyggelige lokaler er tømt for malerier, grafik og skulpturer.
Selv nåede jeg at være med i knap 12 år – og dét kan jo nemt få tankerne til at glide lidt melankolsk “down memory lane“.
