INTRODUCTION A team of international speakers are featured in our versatile and balanced conference programme. They will propose dramatic and provocative solutions for the media to improve their journalistic impact and visual force.
The Scandinavian media will serve as a point of departure as parallels are drawn to dominant global trends in design, presentation and layout. Examples of the latest research and perspectives on the technological development will also be presented. In addition, the seminar invites you on a guided tour of the media landscape of the future.
All lectures will be in English.
The seminar will challenge your prejudices. Your ideas about the methods of the media industry and its traditions will be tested in unexpected ways. At times, this may be painful, but it will certainly be rewarding if you commit yourself to the challenge.
The SND|S conference appeals to designers, photographers, graphic artists, magazine workers, television and Internet professionals, sub-editors and editors.
UpSideDown is guaranteed to both provoke and benefit you.

OH MY GOD, NOT AGAIN! OR HOW NEWSPAPERS NEED MORE VISUAL JOURNALISTS THAN DESIGNERS “We got him”. That was the headline in newspapers all over the world when Saddam Hussein had been captured. Spanish media consultant JUAN ANTONIO GINER from International Media Consulting Group tells you how your newspaper can and should break the mold of dull one-way thinking. Using comparative studies of newspapers all over the world, Giner will turn the news process UpSideDown.

WHEN YOUR BRAIN READS THE NEWSPAPER What mechanisms in the human brain assign special attention to certain images and texts – while other elements are not even noticed? Which centers in the brain are activated when we read a newspaper? Do we really use the left part of the brain to watch pictures and the right to read texts? Dr PETER LUND MADSEN has hosted several television programmes taking Danish viewers on guided tours of the human brain. With a little help from graphic designer OLE MUNK he will explain what actually happens when your brain reads the paper.THURSDAY 1745-1845
WHY ARE SCANDINAVIAN NEWSPAPERS SO DULL AND BORING? Experienced Canadian design consultant TONY SUTTON has left his mark all over the world with his beautiful and efficient redesigns.

NEWS, KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten has over the past few years launched an educational programme in connection to its JP Explorer department for journalistic expeditions.

TYPOGRAPHY THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS To make type more legible, make it smaller? To fit more words, use a wider font? Welcome to the world of microtypography, the topsy-turvy universe of 8pt text faces and 5pt classifieds, in which the laws of physics never apply in quite the way you expect. JONATHAN HOEFLER and TOBIAS FRERE-JONES specialize in designing typefaces that solve problems, and they love the challenges posed by newspapers. The typeface they designed for the Wall Street Journal’s infamous stock listings was both more space-efficient and more legible. FRIDAY 1230-1320 (B)

MEET THE WORLD CHAMPIONS The best in the world? What? Us? We laughed out loud at Upsala
Nya Tidning, when we were selected one of the five best-designed newspapers in the world. But soon we realized that the SND prize

THE CREDIBLE COMPACT The Independent newspaper in Great Britain were the first to offer its readers a choice between a tabloid and a broadsheet paper.

WARNING: INFOGRAPHICS WITH AN ATTITUDE If you think you know what an infographic is and what it should be, then you’re in for a surprising hour.

With examples from newspapers and magazines ranging from Brazil to China and accompanied by music and sharp comments you’re invited to a discussion about the future of visual journalism.FRIDAY 1530-1620 (B)

The Sydney Opera House – probably the most popular building on the planet of the last century – has repaid its AUD 100 million cost many times both as a tourist attraction and as a cultural centre.
