| We believe it is important that we as well as our students stay informed of the latest developments in the world of media and communications. We have garnered an expert group comprising of our faculty and media experts to share their views and opinions on the latest and the hottest in the world of art and communications.
A new page is being turned in Communication
Recently there have been dark days in most markets. The world has changed too fast for too many businesses. Research shows that in a couple of years, consumers will be bombarded with an average of 1.3 marketing messages every waking hour (Stephen Byrne, Diffusion Jupiter Media Metrix).
Creativity In Multimedia: Why India’s talent is underutilised
HAVING explored India and studied its historical strengths in the arts, Patrick Dodson, director of the Swiss campus of the College of Communications, has almost become an evangelist of sorts for Indian creativity. He strongly believes that the time has come for India to unleash its creativity in multimedia, the same way it did in IT and telecomm.
Design and Communication
A good design must have; Form – the looks; Function – what it should do; Relationship – how it’s form and function should affect and effect it’s surroundings. It has to breakthrough a lot of “noise” (like lifestyle, media, job, relationship to other forms of competition); or distraction (like belief systems, values, reality and behavior).

The World of Three Dimensional Animation The first step is how to think in 3-Dimentions: X, Y, Z coordinates, to understand how these coordinates work.

Capturing, Editing and Narrating a Story
Technical excellence is required at every level but that should not be something that stops us back from trying. We are all learning in our fields and I think it’s important. One of the biggest barriers I think is to say I can’t or I am not good enough. I think it’s better to try and to create something and learn from that and have the skills from so that your next piece can be better and can be improved. On one hand, you have the technical excellence on the on hand you have to learn and learning means making mistakes. So we should aim high and try hard.
