Oomph: New VFS Digital Design Blog

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

It’s really great to see the site up and running. “Oomph” is Vancouver Film School‘s new Digital Design blog – which is aimed to connect, inspire, and share projects and experiences between students, prospective students, faculty, and alumni.  The project was a collaborative effort between VFS students, faculty, and alumni, and overall a really fun project to work on. As an alumnus, I helped out with the Information Architecture on the project, and helped to finesse the content that was provided from a Digital Design Slam. Congrats to Antonio on a great job on the final design.  Looking forward to writing and sharing experiences on this site in the future!

Help bring Maker Faire to Vancouver, 2011

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Exciting news!  There has been some really great momentum behind bringing Maker Faire to Vancouver in the not-so-distant future!  If you’re a Vancouver Maker and would like to be involved, please send me an email!

If you’ve never been to a Maker Faire, or don’t really know what it is, it’s basically  the ultimate DIY festival – county fair meets science fair meets farmers market meets burning man for families!  Just for general interest/support, please join our Facebook page.
