Suzanne Collins: One of the Most Powerful Moms of 2012
To celebrate Mother’s Day, Working Mother compiled a list of women who have made (and are still making) a major impact on various fields such as social networking, technology, showbiz, etc. Our beloved Suzanne Collins has made the list as the Most Powerful Mom: Children’s Literature Star!
Suzanne Collins
Most Powerful Mom: Children’s Literature Star
Author
Children: Son, 17, Daughter, 12
Suzanne Collins seems ubiquitous these days, with the kid-lit mantle proverbially passed to her by J.K. Rowling. Her bestselling book series, The Hunger Games trilogy, is still breaking records; and now there’s a blockbuster movie inspired by the first book—with more to come. Collins began her career working for children’s television, ultimately becoming the head writer for the PBS show Clifford’s Puppy Days. She also wrote children’s books including The Underland Chronicles and When Charlie McButton Lost Power.
Congratulations to Suzanne for making the list!
The entire Hunger Games Singapore staff would also like to wish all mothers a very happy and joyous Mother’s Day!
Check out the entire list of Most Powerful Moms Here.

The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire iOS Pixel Poster
Don't they look the same?
Joystiq.com recently released an interview with Adam Saltsman, who Lionsgate is collaborating with to create The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire iOS Game!
The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire is what film company Lionsgate calls a “teaser game” for the upcoming movie, based on the popular books. iOS indie superstar Adam Saltsman (Canabalt, Capsule) is leading a team of other indie superstars for the App Store release, including Mark Johns and Kevin Coulton (aka DOOMLASER), Paul Veer, and composer Danny Baranowsky.
It’s a different world now, one in which the official tie-in video game for a major motion picture is a game for phones, designed by a tiny team of people best known for games they made without publishers. It’s a game with a deliberate retro aesthetic, as you can see in the new “pixel poster” for the upcoming game (visible in full after the break). Author Suzanne Collins even chimed in with suggestions. How on earth did this all happen?
The rise of iOS gaming is a separate, and larger topic, but pinpointing the design of this particular one was much simpler. “From the get-go my inspiration and motivation for this, aesthetically, has been to just pretend I am making a movie tie-in game for the Super Nintendo, only actually fun to play,” Saltsman told Joystiq, explaining the look.
“So as far as the setting, and the story, and the things that are in the game, these things are all sourced directly from the film, and by extension the books, and we even got some guidance on specific ideas from Suzanne Collins herself. But visually our inspiration comes from classic Sega Genesis games, especially Treasure games, and even more modern pixel art games like you see coming out of WayForward the last few years.”

Here is the “pixel poster”!
