Cut & Paste


Cut & Paste PDX was March 8 in the Grand Ballroom at the Portland Art Museum. A grand setting for an interesting battle of graphic and motion arts. Despite a few technical difficulties it was interesting to see 2D and 3D artists battle it out for the title to compete in New York City. As a 2D designer I was slightly disappointed in the lack of creativity involved in execution, design and color palette. Out of all 8 designers competing, only 3 ventured away from Illustrator. To give them credit though, they did only have 20 minutes to finish their design and get their concept across.
