Olympic Blogging

Jon Berry over at http://www.jonberrydesign.com/ has been blogging about his experience on the NBC Graphics Team handling the Olympics. You can see some of his work in the banner above. I happen to know a few people who contribute to this effort, so I'm familiar with the process. But it's still cool to see some pics from the inside. Go check out this unique behind the scenes peek.

WCCO

Arguably one of the best creative teams in the CBS family... if not TV in general. WCCO has never been shy to do new things. A fresh take on almost every aspect of promotion. It's inspiring to see a station who obviously puts a lot of stock in their creative staff. And it really pays off. Producers & Designers point you collective mice(?) this way and check out the best WCCO has to offer.

This one is going to make it's way to the Useful Links column quickly. Thanks for the tip!

A quick plug

You'll notice to the right a set of "Useful Links" These are mainly industry sites, that you might find of use. Maybe start out with TVSpy & TVNewstalk when you get a chance. Unfiltered (usually) reactions to changes at stations all across the nation. You'll get a nice mix of industry folks and news fans alike. I Do Promoz & TV Promos are great for a glimpse at what stations are doing with their promos. I'll add more as I run across em. Got one for me? Float me a link I'll post it and give you credit.
