Tonight me and a few buddies went down to a digital design tournament in Hollywood. I really like the whole concept and idea of design battle, but the event was a disappointment. I expected the judges to tear up the contestants with constructed criticisms, but instead they all said the same things which went something like this: “yeah…umm…I really like all of the stuff, they are efficient and I enjoy watching them work, but umm..this one..and that one….(which we have no idea which one they refer to)…so I am going to have to go with this one!”

I also expected people dancing, but we were the only people there moving our hips. But overall, props to all who were on stage competing; it takes a certain kind of courage to perform design in public. It also requires a new level of concentration and efficiency to bust out what they did within such short period of time.
