We’re already a month down and well into the swing of MAP for 2016. I’d like to welcome all of our new students who are commencing Media Arts and Production this year with Exploring Media Arts. Hopefully you’re enjoying your first semester studying what has to be the best major that Communications at UTS has to offer!

 

For those embarking on MAP Major Project, best of luck with getting your productions completed over the next 2 months. If you are in need of a major crew roll to be filled, please contact me at: thomas.grainger10@gmail.com and I will place an advertisement for crew roles that need to be filled, in the coming weeks on this website.

 

 

This is our new and revamped version of MAP News that will be updated on a more frequent basis. Instead of getting the old traditional email once a month or so, we’ll have small but important information and news coming to you on a regular basis through the Media Arts and Production website which you’re currently on.

 

Enjoy the various creative projects you’re working on this semester and don’t forget to help out your fellow students and gain some extra experience. I’m sure you’ll be in need of assistance on your own projects in the very near future.
