We are really pleased to tell you that we have been chosen to take part in Meld - a five day residential lab at the University of Central Lancashire. Meld is an ideas generation and development workshops involving Sky News, Haymarket and Johnson Press, which brings journalists together with interaction designers.
Our team comprises Clarissa Satchell, Paperplane Director; Chris Satchell, Paperplane Creative Director, and Darren Harper, internet marketeer/search engine optimisation consultant and owner of Tangy Lemon search engine marketing agency in Halifax. During the week we will be working on a project which we pitched in response to briefs from the above media partners.
The lab takes place at UCLAN's new Centre for Digital and Creative Industries, Sandbox, which is running the project alongside the Department of Journalism. Meld is supported by the Northern Edge and the Northern Way and aims to find out what happens when teams of journalists, creative technologists/ interaction designers conceive and develop projects together.
Teams were invited to pitch seed ideas in response to industry briefs. These briefs can be found on the Meld website. Up to 8 teams (a maximum of 20 people) have been selected to attend the lab from December 10-14. Developed ideas will be pitched at the end of the week to a panel of industry commissioners. We are thrilled to be chosen and are looking forward to taking part.
