The competition honors the best student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers, developers, and computer artists from accredited higher education institutions worldwide. Now in partnership with the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda), the awards ceremony will be held during the Icograda World Design Congress in Beijing, China in October 2009. The Congress will bring together 2,500 delegates from around the globe at the China National Convention Center, located in the heart of the Beijing Olympic Green.   As demand increases for talented designers and developers in the interactive design and development fields, the Adobe Design Achievement Awards spotlight the talented work of students in three media categories: Interactive Media, Motion Media, and Traditional Media.   Interactive Media categories include Browser-Based Design, Non-Browser Based Design, Application Development, Installation Design and Mobile Design. Motion Media categories include Animation, Live Action and Motion Graphics. Traditional Media categories include Illustration, Packaging, Photography, and Print Communications. Open to students in 40 countries, the contest also draws attention to interactive design and development programs at some of the best accredited higher education institutions. Students are invited to submit projects through the Adobe Design Achievement Awards website. From the Web site, visitors will also be able to access ADAA Live!, an interactive website that lets visitors see participants submitting projects in real-time.   The 2009 Adobe Design Achievement Awards entries will be reviewed and scored by an independent panel of distinguished judges.   Submissions will be accepted online through June 5, 2009. The online submissions will be judged digitally in June. For the final phase of judging, semifinalists will be asked to submit their source files and a physical aspect of their entry as it is meant to be viewed. Finalists will be invited to Beijing, China and the Icograda World Design Congress and awarded software and cash prizes.   For more information about the 2009 Adobe Design Achievement Awards, visit ADAAentry.com.

Like windows into some fantastic world Surreal paintings have a special fascination that reminds us of the boundless creativity we all knew as children. Now the digital medium allows the artists to bring their wildest dreams to life. In an age where virtuality meets reality the surreal has become real. In this, the fourth NVArt competition, artists are invited to recreate their most imaginative fantasies in the style of master surrealist, Jacek Yerka. Big prizes... Read all the details here...

In four minutes with a mix of 2D and 3D animation, it is the story of two young workers, in the middle of a revolution, trying to claim their existences. You can watch it here : http://www.aniboom.com/video/311868/La-Main-des-Maitres/ You can also read the CGArena interview of the team : http://www.cgarena.com/archives/interviews/lamaindesmaitres/interview.html And if you want to know more about it, get a peek at the official website : http://www.lamaindesmaitres.com/ Sound and motion CaYuS.members@gfxartist.com http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/173803#comments http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/173803 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 17:21:42 EST http://www.gfxartist.com/general/general_news/172933 What is speedpainting? Speedpainting is a fun and easy way to improve your artistic skills. It is also an excellent passtime activity! A speedpaint is a quick painting. It's not like those gigantic masterpieces you see around the net that takes the artist more than 30 hours to make - no, a speedpaint is usually made in between 20 minutes and 2 hours. The purpose is to loosen your grip around the brush, free your mind and just have fun without having to be deadly serious. You will surely be amazed to see how fast your skills improve when you start speedpainting on a regular basis! Sounds like something for you? Many online digital art communities arrange a weekly speedpaint challenge. Now gfxartist.com has one too. And it is surely about time! Each week a theme is announced, and people interpret that theme the way they like and make one or more speedpaints based on it. The speedpaint is then posted in the same forum thread that the theme was announced in. There are no prizes involved, as the whole idea is to just loosen up, have fun and paint. Where can you find this Speedpaint Challenge, you ask? In the forums at gfxartist.com! There is a new thread for every new theme, and the thread is titled "SP CHALLENGE", followed by the name of the theme. For the time being, these thread are located in the Competition forum section: http://www.gfxartist.com/community/forum/list/196 Hopefully there will be a section of its own for gfxartist's weekly speedpaint challenge in the near future! Join in! There are no quality guidelines for the speedpaints, and everyone can join! We look forward to seeing your art there!
