Easy content generation...

Yeah, I know that title is a bit off - seeing as it's now May and I'm posting about April...just give us a break as we try and catch up with a few posts!!!!

Anyway, back in April we attended the Communities 2.0 induction over in Swansea. It was a great couple of days that gave the whole team a chance to meet each other face to face and was wonderfully organised with lots of games (and cakes) by Josh from PAVS.

A few days earlier, Cath from the Wales Co-op (you knew I was gonna use that pic!!!) had suggested that we look at the brand values of the project by utilising one of our workshop approaches based around digital photography.

So, each group got 2 of the brand values and took a series of pictures based around that word and produced the following results, which just go to demonstrate how a quick and fun workshop can generate content for your site/blog as well as provide intersting and creative discussions around issues and ideas.



So, the next step for me was thinking, well why not put these fun ideas together into a little vid, so that's what I did:

The music is right for what I was thinking in putting this together : "Express yourself...do it good..." I think we should always keep this in mind and make things fun and interesting, but also quick, accesible and with a view to generating content easily.

And maybe we need to be "Livin in correctional facilities" if only in terms of correcting the way we think about and engage with technology in order to get the most out of it. The adoption of creative means to produce creative product and content informs all the work we do and I feel that this "organic" approach always leads to new ideas and new thought.
