Cool Hunting
The Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament kicks-off tomorrow in Boston at the Roxy, Saturday, 8 September, the first stop of an 11 city international tour (click on flyer for detail). You think you got what it takes? Any onsite audience can participate in the timed design competition for a chance to win a Wacom Intuos3 Tablet.
With 11 stops from Boston to Sydney, chances are the tournament will swing through a city near you. If you can't make it to any of the locales not to worry, all of the events will be webcast at Cut&Paste. During the tournament you can also vote in real-time, by text message or the online webcast, for any of the eight contestants in each city who will compete for an Adobe CS3 Master Collection. We're patiently waiting for next weekend, 15 September, when the Cut&Paste Tournament comes through New York.
Tomorrow in Boston doors open at 6pm, the competition is from 7-10pm and after party is from 9:30pm-2am. More info including the full schedule of their world tour here. Also check out last years Cut&Paste tournament on Cool Hunting Video.

Despite the wide array of subject matter, her collections share a refined ruggedness and a rough-hewn beauty. Our favorite collection is her Alaska Series, with its antlers, rifles, bear heads and horns. Selections from the Alaska Series have recently...
"Squares, Checks and Grids," the newest title in the Communicating with Pattern series from Rotovision, is an homage to the most linear of shapes.

Dozens of examples of houndstooth, tartans, argyles, ginghams and western plaids explore checks in the context of textiles....
We're about halfway through the Popdeck x Cool Hunting Skateboard Design Contest and we've already seem some fit designs. I've got a few decks in mind that I'd like to roll around on, but I'll keep that to myself for now. A $200 cash prize along with a free deck is up for grabs so head on over to Popdeck to submit your design...
Like those little stickies that say "Sign Here," the witty Visual Enforcement Kit points out (with excruciating detail) what needs attention, in this case in the world of 2D design. For anyone who's faced more than their share of design that needs help, the downloadable pdfs provide handy pre-printed critiques like, "Severe lack of creativity" and "Kern this!" We particularly like "Hire a copywriter"...
