Hyderabad: Below is a slideshow of photos from the start of a two day newspaper design and redesign workshop in Hyderabad, India. These photos were taken by my host V Antony, Business development manager of IFRA India. Antony’s background is in prepress - so hat’s off to him for making some nice documentary images.
The sold out training event brought together editors and designers from Singapore, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and their interest in gaining knowledge is great.
The week working with journalists, publishers, editors and students has finished and it’s on to Paris for a lecture on Web video for IFRA and SND.

I shot and shared a lot of film here in Cairo and a few new movies will follow as I steal time away to edit them into worthwhile films. The crowd attending the IFRA/SND gig at the Apple Executive Briefing centre will be the first to see the new stuff I have developed from my recent experiences with producing Camp VJ and other video and new media training events in Canada, Croatia, Pennsylvania, Italy and Germany.
The visual journalism event in France will have me placed along the Seine River facing the Eiffel Tower. Should be nice break to only have one event scheduled for three days and I will take the chance to dine with Parisian colleagues and catch up on things. At least I will not go hungry!
I’ll be presenting “Web Video is Not Television!” at the IFRA International Conference “Design for newspapers and magazines” in Paris.
The event will place at the Executive Briefing Center Apple in Paris on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 May.
This event will be a unique occasion that will bring together those who
are confronted by the demands of newspaper design on a daily basis…
