Neil Gaiman - Inspirational Commencement Speech at the University of the Arts 2012

Neil Gaiman - Inspirational Commencement Speech at the University of the Arts 2012

Valentine's Day 2012 For Valentine's Day this year we wanted to tell a heartfelt story about a boy and his search for the perfect gift, for that special someone.... who really, really loves to jump rope =] Above are some of the storyboards that help visualize and figure out the timing and the 'beats' of our story. There are many failed attempts by our little guy to find the perfect gift but in the end the gift that counts the most is the one he cant buy. The second image is that moment when she realizes he's spending quality time with her, doing what she loves to do, which results with a grandiose hug. I probably would've given in with the box of chocolates =] This is a 'color-script' for our story, which helps determine the overall balance of color and emotion in the piece. Above is one of the 'laptop' backgrounds. ...and here's the final logo, a 'valentine' for all of our users. Happy Valentines Day!

10 Ideas Driving The Future Of Social Entrepreneurship The 10th Annual Skoll World Forum, which brought together several hundred of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs to Oxford, has just wrapped for another year. The Forum serves as a useful barometer for how the climate of social enterprise is changing. When it launched in 2004, it was all about celebrating the unknown social entrepreneurs, helping give them global recognition and credibility, and a platform to engage with policy leaders and large corporations. In that task, it has succeeded brilliantly--over the past decade, social enterprise has become mainstream. Jeff Skoll picks out the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Muhammad Yunus in 2006 as a watershed moment, followed equally significantly in the following year by the award to Al Gore. So 10 years in, what’s the current thinking? 1: It’s about Changing the System, Stupid. Everyone at the Forum was in some way wrestling with that question. 2: Change is accelerating 3: To solve our problems, we need more problem-solvers
