IdN Extra 01: Cut&Paste

From Sketch to Production

The making of a work of art: 50+ creatives from 11 cities brought together by the Cut&Paste competition review their own efforts, revealing the choices they made along the way – the inspirations, the mental blocks, the wrong tunings, the serendipitous discoveries. And how they might do it all again in a different medium if they had the chance.
