Diggiti
Want to leave your mark at the Festival and create digital art? Visit the Diggiti installation and learn to use a digital pen and brushes in Adobe Photoshop to create a mark or “tag.” Your tag is then uploaded to diggiti.newdesigncenter.org and lives there for anyone in the world with internet access to view. Last year’s collected diggiti was projected on the sides of downtown buildings at First Night, a Fayetteville New Year celebration.
