Delegates and key industry players alike will be captured on the Tablet PC and then the cartoons emailed on straight from the Tablet -- creating a connection to friends and colleagues around the world.
The MSN artist will be stationed at MSN's Cyber Lounge in the Palais des Festivals et des Congres. A gallery of selected drawings will be available on MSN's .
MSN's second year of sponsorship at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival comprises its biggest effort to date to connect the creative community to the world of digital media.
As part of its effort European sales director of MSN EMEA Chris Dobson has called on creatives to put digital at the heart of the creative process in his newly published White Paper 'Creating Consumer Connections -- Digital Marketing, Technology and the Creative Opportunity'.
The Cannes Caricatures effectively portray Microsoft's advancement in technology and the ways in which consumers can now interact with new devices and services in everyday situations. MSN sees the tablet PC as being a key device for creatives, who are used to working with the humble pen and paper. In addition, the fun of emailing the images on to friends showcases the ease and efficiency of the tablet's wireless capabilities.
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Tablet PC Edition allows people to take advantage of their PC by writing directly on the screen using a digital pen -- a sort of "digital notepad". This means that writing emails, taking meeting notes and planning documents can be drafted more quickly and with a more personal touch.
