Goldblatt left town this afternoon. That is so Goldblatt. Always traveling, judging, thinking, working. I’m sure the recycling will take itself out. Anyway, he’s off to that one-stoplight town Manhattan to head up judging for the Cannes Young Lions awards. Before he took off he said he’d remember us well at the Chelsea Hotel.  So thoughtful!

Agency ECD, Stephen Goldblatt, judged the Cut ‘n Paste Digital Design Tournament. Here’s a blurb about the event…

“Take the best of a city’s 2D, 3D, and motion designers and throw them on a stage, with judges hovering, music blaring, minutes ticking down on the clock, a fast-talking MC on the mic, and their reputations on the line. Add to that a tech setup that registers every mouse click and tapped command from each designer’s workstation and projects them live and in real time on one of the large-scale displays in full view of the audience, and you have the Digital Design Tournament in a nutshell. With all eyes on their every move, these designers aren’t just showcasing their talents as a live performance—they’re competing for the bragging rights and gunning for the prize.”
