Media Virgins. Say what?

November 12th, 2008 | Filed Under: Uncategorized | 6 Comments »

I am sitting down today to tell you a little bit about the Media Virgins. The idea for Media Virgins was born the the canteen in Tipperary Institute, Clonmel. It was here that a group of first year Creative Multimedia students came up with the idea of creating a website that newcomers in our position could come to for advice and education on the field of Multimedia.

As most of our class are complete novices to the industry we felt that we needed a place to come to, to share and to learn from. We soon realised that within our class everybody was good at something and for all of us to succeed we needed to pull together and learn from each other. This website has given us the opportunity to do that.

The site is not elitist and we welcome the experiences and advice from others. There are no two people in the class that are the same. Everybody has brought different qualities to the venture and I feel that the site is much richer for it. Because there is such a diverse range of interests and talents we feel that we can cater to everybody’s needs. The main aim was to appeal to new comers in the Multimedia Industry and to hopefully teach them as we, ourselves were being taught in college. The media virgins are unique in that we have the expertise and support of experts in the industry (our fantastic lecturers) while at the same time we bring a freshness that we haven’t found elsewhere. This is just the beginning to our adventure . During the course of it we will let you know how we are getting on and give you a behind the scenes look at how we do what we do. If you have anything to add please do not hesitate in leaving a comment. Thanks a million.:-)
