I’m not going to lie. I initially grabbed this news story because it mentioned theParsons New School of Design. For those of you who don’t know (which I assume is at least 95% of you), Parsons is where they shoot best show ever,Project Runway. Yeah,Project Runway. I’m not ashamed. Let me seeyoudesign and construct a perfectly tailored dress and pea coat combo in less than nine hours. That’s what I thought.
Anyway, once I found out what this story was really about, I was very intrigued! This weekend, Sony is teaming up with Parsons to host a 24-hourLittleBigPlanetdesign competition. Members of various design disciplines (illustration, photography, fashion, etc.) are going to be split into teams to create an entireLittleBigPlanetlevel over a 24-hour period. Once finished, their levels will be judged by a Media Molecule panel and the winning creation will be featured in the actual game. Pretty cool!
Lawrence, one of the competitors, is blogging about his experiencehereand taking suggestions for what his team should include. Honestly, I can’t decide if I am more jealous of his artistic talent or the fact that he gets to fully immerse himself inLittleBigPlanetthis early before itsrelease.
What do you think? Is this a cool promotion for an even cooler game? Are you excited about the release ofLittleBigPlanet? Who do you want to winProject Runwaymore:LeanneorKorto?
