Cut&Paste is a digital design tournament, putting designers head to head in a battle of creative digital arts. Their goal is to promote the idea that design is a tangible, real thing and to promote the people and who make all the magic happen. Each contender is given a few minutes, a theme, a set of tools including a digital camera, Wacom tablet and a suite of software including Illustrator and Photoshop. A live audience looks on as the designs are created before their eyes. The Toronto chapter of Cut&Paste happened this year at the FITC festival of design and technology and saw a couple of Toronto’s finest, Justin Broadbent and Alex Kurina take on New York’s Guillo Echevarria and Edward Ubiera. Look for me in one of the designs as I happened to be standing in the wrong place at the wrong time with my camera.

This looked like a pretty cool event. I’m sure I would have learned a trick or two just by watching.
*Great* choice of music, by the way. For anybody else who wants to hear more, I went scurrying off into the Interwebs immediately after watching and found a bunch of free tracks here:

Keep it up guys. As a relatively new resident of the T-dot, I’m loving your vids.
Thanks Chris!
Yeah I’ve been a huge fan of Bitstream Dream since I heard their stuff on Dave’s Lounge podcast (http://www.daveslounge.com) a couple years ago. Have been looking for an excuse to use their music for something ever since
Glad your enjoying what we’re doing! It’s great to hear from our viewers.
I so want one of those Wacom Cintiq 21UX tablets. Love my standalone one but that makes work so much better.
Such a great event - the work is amazing with what little time they have. Adam, as always, fantastic job with the video and editing!
