Libby - the digital way to learn

Libby - Digital eBook Application Prototype for Swedish publishing house Natur & Kultur.

This is an application made by The Hyper Island students Cecilie Lund Madsen, Erik Öhlen, Fredrik Weinestad and August Björnberg.
The mission was to create an digital solution that would distribute and handle digital literature online and/or offline. 53 Colors created "Libby" that is an online/offline application for computers and mobile devices. The key features gives the user to buy/browse through Natur & Kultur's range of student and other literature, store the material on the web and externally, go interactive with other users in forums and reviews. Another tool that we focused alot on is the 'Reader' which gives the student tools to improve the speed and quality of their learning.

So Worth it

So worth it, is a Video made by a group of hyper island students.

Hi Nathan, Interactive Art Director student. Tell us about this vid:

- It was Created for Doritos Presents: Crash the Super Bowl. Johan Blomborg, Johan Dettmar, Erik Öhlen, Viveca Forsblom Ljungdahl and myself collaborated to come up with something fun and original for the brief. In the end, we created something between slap stick humor and David Lynch style storytelling. All in all we had a great time working together on the project.

Interview with Hyper's marketing director, by Svenskt näringsliv

Schools need to be aware of the demands and needs that exist in the industry and according to "Svenskt Näringsliv" Hyper Island "are right on the money"
–The idea is to keep school as close to the industry as possible, says Christian Olsson, Marketing Director at Hyper Island. The collaboration starts with the curriculum and all tasks and assignments are closely linked to "real" industry demand.
Christian also explains that the Hyper Island students take responsibility for their own development, but Hyper Island is supplying them with a "smorgasbord" of different opportunities.

Hello Goodby

Andrew and Zach from Goodby,Silverstein & partners came to Hyper Island Stockholm on Thursday 3 December. It was Andrew's first time here, and he was very pleased.

– It has really been great, Sweden and Stockholm is fantastic and the students here are golden!

Zach has visited Hyper Island several times so we asked him: Zach, how come you keep coming back all the time?

– I guess that it's because of the depth of understanding of new media that the students here have, and also the amount of tools they can use to channel their skills. We don't see this level at many other schools

– The international constellation of every work group is also part of the school's strength. I actually come here to meet the future of this industry, and to see what they're up to.
