big changes ahead

Uit de KHLim nieuwsbrief van vrijdag 18 december 2009:

Ook bij de Media & Design Academie is er een nieuwe aanstelling. Ann Laenen, tot nu toe opleidingscoördinator van de opleiding c-md (communicatie- en multimediadesign) wordt vanaf 1 januari 2010 adjunct-departementshoofd. In oktober zal zij, wanneer Henk Heuts op pensioen gaat, de fakkel overnemen als departementshoofd.

So a lot of things will change for me in 2010. But I’m really looking forward to becoming the new head of department of the Media & Design Academy. There are a lot of (positive) challenges laying ahead of the school and it is an honour to have received the mandate to lead the department through this exciting period. The first months will be used to work, together with the colleagues of the university college, on a strategic plan for the years to come.  It is also the time to find excellent replacement for my current co-ordinating tasks at communication & multimedia design and to finish current freelance assignments properly.

I’m not an art director, and never will be, but I got really fascinated by this book (editors: Steven Heller + Veronique Vienne) . Not only by its content: interesting cases such as the one on the value of multiple entry points or the panache of doo-dads, and a fresh way of looking at art direction using different viewpoints.  But also fresh through its design by Rick Landers.
