The waves of creativity
2007 May 17
There are a lot of environmental factors that go into fostering a creative environment. As creative persons mature, we become more in-tune with what works best for us when it's time to dream up new ideas and solutions. Some of us trek to coffeehouses while others listen to Bach, Satie or Mogwai. Whatever we do we're all essentially trying to achieve a certain state of mind.

I just finished reading chapter three of Convergence Culture where Jenkins discusses transmedia storytelling. He focuses on the Matrix franchise and how it basically rewrote the rules for Hollywoods future. It got me thinking on my walk home from the coffeehouse, why aren't newspapers doing this?
LJWorld redesign

So for the past five months or so we've been working on a redesign for the Lawrence Journal-World.

It's quiet small compared surrounding markets which makes it very agile and free from shareholders and their evil agendas.
