John Hood has a BA (Hons) in Media Production from the Media School of Bournemouth University and was featured in the Alumni Association magazine, The Talbot, a Media Careers special.

An early childhood fascination with media production began when John's parents took him to see Star Wars in 1977. Shortly afterwards John was bought an Hitachi portable tape recorder as a Christmas gift...

As part of an Exeter College/BBC Radio Devon partnership, John co-wrote and produced several documentaries. These were broadcast as part of teenage magazine show "90 MPH"!

After graduating from Bournemouth University, in June 1996, John worked for the BBC, Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones in various capacities including online editor and foley artist.

In 1998 John started developing original content (in mixed media) for internet distribution. The ability to work cross-platform, and conceptualise, and apply that thinking to print, broadcast or interactive content is key to successful multimedia practitioners!

John was interviewed in BMW Magazine Autumn/Winter 2011 regarding his 1 Series Coupé M Sport. His artwork, photographs and blog posts are featured on Saatchi Online, Thomson Reuters, Nielsen, Chicago Sun-Times, TV Guide and USA Today websites.
