Adobe CS3 Conference - New York
It's a sweltering Day 2 at the Adobe CS3 Creative License tour here in New York. Forecast is for a sauna-like 92 degrees with high humidity. Portland on the other hand is in for a beautiful 84 degree day. But enough about the weather.
I sat in on the Cut & Paste competition last night at the end of the conference. Two teams of two designers are put on the clock using Photoshop and a Wacom Cintiq and are challenged to come up with their best design. The whole time, there is a live DJ serving up club-like music and an MC walking the floor soliciting feedback from the audience. It was pretty cool and it was really amazing to see how talented the designers were and what they were able to come up with in such a short amount of time.
Here's a picture of the Waldorf=Astoria hotel where the event is taking place, though at times I think I'm in Versailles.
