The second Linney Pecha Kucha event is taking place on 10th November 2011. For those who don’t know, Pecha Kucha is a style of presenting that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. Join us as 5 speakers cover such diverse topics as fictional villains, body image and tweeting on Thursday, 10th November from 8.30–9.30am in Colani meeting room, Linney Design. RSVP here.

We were very grateful for the artist, Rob Hart to come and talk about his work in the last Creative Forum. See below to watch an excerpt.

Here at Linney, we have an installation space that we’ve used in the past to create interesting talking points, linked to the work we do for our clients. Recently, we put one together for Olympus based on their digital voice recorders. As well as a brief history of recording devices, from the Magnetophon to the Minidisc, we also wanted to show the capacity of digital as opposed to analogue recording. An Olympus DS-5000 can hold almost 80 hours of audio, the equivalent of 80 micro cassettes which we used to create this sculpture. For more information about the DS-5000 click here.

Thanks to Damon and Darren for a great Forum, dissecting the writing process. After having many speakers from outside the company it was good to get some expert opinions from part of the Linney team. There was even time to take part in a ‘guess the ending’ game which showed quite clearly that the Forum audience can’t quite compare to Enid Blyton.
