I received my new stylus for the iPad yesterday and I had to try out some drawing styles right away to feel if it made any difference with my old and simple stylus. I will let you know what I think soon. But I do know that, apart from my moleskine drawings, iPad doodles are officially here to stay.

Another book Illustrated, How2talk2kids siblings without rivalry

wilgengebroed — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:38:52 +0000

The American series by Mazlish and Faber of how to communicate with children in a succesful way has been translated and adapted into a workable Dutch version by How2talk2kids.nl. The first book; How2talk2kids came out 2 years ago with my drawings. These drawings proved to be a big succes in how the book was received and were used in the workshops very succesfullly to provide simple understandable examples. With the second book there was no doubt; it needed another set of my drawings.

Recently the book was officially presented to the press. With leading role; my drawings..

Insight; We are all just Collectors

wilgengebroed — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:36:22 +0000

Insight; Collectors is all we humans are really, always have been. It’s what defines us. Or is it that what we think defines us that we collect? It used to be books and pictures, money or cars. Pictures or paintings. It always has been status or friends. With time the things we collect and the way we collect it changes, the principles stay the same though. We collect to show others why we think we are different from them, or alike. We collect to define us as an individual. Now we do it online, save lots of boxes.. and because there is more room, we can collect even more! Friends, likes, badges, books, pictures….. Social Media Hype? Yes, maybe, but in the end we are all just collectors, as we have always been.

Mobile data usage among teens; the future is in the app

wilgengebroed — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:40:02 +0000

Recently Nielsen came out with their US Teen mobile report: Calling Yesterday, Texting Today, Using apps Tomorrow. In which they have analyzed mobile usage and specific mobile data usage amongst teens in the United States. While young adults (age 18 – 24) still are the top users of Data on their mobile (over 160MB), teens (age 13 – 17) are rapidly catching up. The future of mobile use is in apps and games.

France changing landscapes

On the way home through France just below Lyon, our next stop. Mountains fading in the distance.. Smell of fresh summer rain washed away by the strong sun.

LeWeb09, early morning kickoff

wilgengebroed — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:17:07 +0000

Here I am, as I wrote earlier I was really looking forward to sketch on LeWeb09. And here I am. The Line up is looking promising and we have wifi and it is nice and warm. Loic and Geraldine Lemeur opened the Two day conference this morning with their introduction, announcing that this year is again bigger than last year. Looking good sofar.

First opening chat with Jack Dorsey who showed of his new and interesting mobile service with which you can put on a “swiper” on your mobile to be able to swipe Credit Cards. His service ‘Square’ should roll out early 2010 for everyone to use ( pay and sell) via mobile. The question of how much the ‘swiper’ would cost the public was answered with a surprising -’nothing’! Of course the free dongel should stimulate use of the service. The rest of the morning continues to be all about (iPhone) apps and their potential.

Social Media a short explanation

wilgengebroed — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:33:14 +0000

Just for those who want a quick reminder, this is a short and easy overview of the concept ‘ social media’. Was playing around in Prezi again and this came out of it. Since i needed a way to visualize my concepts and I spent a lot of time explaining this to others. Looking forward to make more of these. Just short easy accessible explanations with visuals and words. The first in a row, I hope….>>

Eday09, sketching keynote speakers

wilgengebroed — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:33:40 +0000

Last thursday I attended Eday09, Emerce day 2009, in ‘De van Nelle fabriek’ in Rotterdam. A day of inspiring speakers and workshops. A good mix of people and speakers. The sidetrakcs where small and intimite and offered a variety good learnings. Since I was there to sketch for Dutchcowgirls, I limited sketching to the keynote speakers at the mainstage.

You can find my posts at Dutchcowgirls here.

I was very pleased to be able to attend another of Robert Rice’s presentations on the future of mobile. His view on the future is allways one you tend to see actually presenting itself sooner than you think it might have. Nick Bilton was another surprise. His presentation on what new things are being developed in the labs of the NewYork Times was a fascinating one. Especially the awareness, ‘its all just a new way of storytelling’ . The energizing closure of the day was that of gary Vaynerchuk. His message to all of us; ‘Love what you do and know who you are’.

Emerging markets according to.. MOMO #12

wilgengebroed — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:49:58 +0000

Het thema van de alweer twaalfde editie van MOMO ams was developing countries, of emerging markets, Marc Fonteijn gaf toe dat ze daar zelf ook niet uitgekomen waren.

Hajo van Beijma verteld over wat er door middel van SMS acties in ontwikkellins landen bereikt kan worden. SMS acties en quizen helpen bij het creeren van awareness, worden gebruikt voor data verzameling, en dienen als banking tool. Zo kunnen er makkelijk bevolkingsgroepen bereikt worden die niet online zijn.

Hierna is Jeroen van Glabbeek aan de beurt, zijn verhaal gaat vooral ( na zijn eigen succesverhaal van mobile marketing in de clubbing scene) over de “tipping point” ( naar een boek van Malcolm Gladwell) hoever zijn we in de groei en heeft dit zijn top bereikt. Gaat hierna alles op elkaar lijken zoals nu al een aantal smartphones iPhone look-a-likes zijn? Hoe weten mobile manufactures hier straks mee om te gaan, Nokia brent bijvoorbeeld niet voor niets een netbook uit. Hij eindigd zijn relaas met de stelling dat de mobiele toekomst uit zes pijlers zal bestaan; nml( en deze zullen je niet verbazen) Bellen, Internet (without the apps), Navigatie, Messaging, Bankieren en Social Media.

Nuno Sitima verteld het verhaal van Opera en vooral Opera mini. Hij ziet de toekomst van het internet vooral in mobiel. Het is namelijk overal en altijd en het is persoonlijk en vooral in landen als India veiliger om te gebruiken dan het online gebruik op bijvoorbeeld het werk. In india wordt de mobiel ook als modem voor internet gebruikt. Hun doelstelling is dan ook; ” A browser for every phone on every network”.

Na de pauze staat Madanmohan Rao op het podium. Zijn presentatie is uiteenzetting van kansen, innovatie, en mogelijkheden voor mobiel internet in landen als India en ook Aziatische landen. Dit alles in een razendsnel tempo. Mobiel internet kan helpen bij disasters, health, education, culture Het verstrekt informatie aan de lokale communities. Is de prijs van deze tuktuk wel een eerlijke, welke prijs kan ik voor mijn pepers krijgen etc. Na zijn razendsnelle uiteenzetting benadrukt hij zijn ‘efficiente’ manier van praten nog maar weer eens door aan de vragenstellende Claire Boonstra mede te delen; “could you cluster 5 questions so I can combine the answers?” en dat deed hij ook.

De laatste en meest passievolle presentatie was die van Marieme Jamme. Ze is in Senegal geboren en besloot na een succesvolle studie en werkcarriere in London weer energie terug in haar ‘eigen’ continent te willen stoppen. Ze wil Afrika Re-branden, wij zijn niet zielig, corrupt of onbetrouwbaar, wij kunnen innoveren en creeeren! Geef ons geen geld, daar worden we lui van, geef ons de middelen. De mobiel is een geweldige tool. Vrijheid, Geloofwaardigheid, Winst en Relaties dat zijn de dingen die mensen zelf kunnen bewerkstelligen met als ‘tool’ de mobiel.

The Prezi guys..

Last week i got a skype call from the Prezi guys. Congratulating me on the presentation I did for Lokloq. Since the presentation was entirely in line with how Prezi was meant to be used they asked me for an interview! and used the presentation as an example on their blog. This was so good to hear, Prezi is something that fits in with my visual communications and the way my mind wraps around stories.

Read the Prezi interview on the Prezi blog here!
