Hi everyone,
Some news: We’ve made some cosmetic changes to the front page of CCANZ. This follows feedback from some teachers, who have suggested that the original text-heavy front page was quite difficult for students to navigate. http://creativecommons.org.nz/
This is fantastic Matt. Great that people are feeling engaged enough in CC ANZ to give feedback, and even better, that the feedback has been creatively used to improve our comms tools. The new skin looks really nice, and I like having CC Kiwi front and centre, explaining CC for the YouTube generation ;)
I like the idea of a design student being paid to do some more tweaking as part of an internship. This could include producing some more printable/ portable resources too, with a view to keeping all our published materials (whether online or print) visually coherent.
