Positive Posters held a Battle of the Universities at the Apple Store in Doncaster shopping centre. It was a hell of lot of fun to attend and shoot.
The participants. Six Students in total, Two each from Swinburne, Monash and Box Hill in a one hour competition for design supremacy.
The guidelines. The one hour time limit was evenly split in two. One half was to quickly search and sketch their ideas on the Apple iPad. The other half was to finalise their ideas in Adobe Illustrator CS5, on the Apple iMac. The Inspiration "Outta Sight, Outta Mind".
The actual setup in store was very interesting. Both iPad & iMacs were set to live stream to the onlooking crowd and the web. There was also a heap of tweeting and facebook updating going on too.
The contest. The Swinburne boys were working swiftly getting off to a great start in illustrator with what seemed to be an idea that they were set upon creating right from the start. The Monash boys were struggling to weave their minds (even with the Monash crowns) but working hard nonetheless and finished stong. The Box Hill Tafe Girls were off to a shaky start but quickly built a very nice visual that made for a tight finish for all competitors.

Positive Posters Edit Update | Comment #011
Just a little update on the impromptu Positive Posters shoot. Basically waiting upon a couple of assets from others but if I don't hear back I'll still post it next week (after checking with the guys of course). Look forward to showing you the final which will most likely be split in two, one snappy and the other long and in depth.
Not to shabby for a couple of hours of shooting and a couple of hours here and there editing.
