You Suck at Transmedia

About

The aim of this site?: To progress the state of art of transmedia

What is wanted?: Passionate and well-considered writings on good, bad and ugly transmedia decisions

This site was created and is run by Christy Dena, a longtime cross/transmedia educator, researcher and practitioner. She’s written a PhD on transmedia practice; mentored film, TV, gaming and new media practitioners across the globe; worked on multi-million dollar and no-budget transmedia projects; and is now also developing her own creative projects and web services at her company Universe Creation 101. After much prodding from colleagues to talk about sloppy design, and conducting strategy meetings with evil cats, Christy is now opening up with site so we can share our views how the craft of transmedia can improve. The name of the site is from one of Christy’s favourite webisodes:
