Layer Tennis

Layer Tennis is an online design competition that sounds interesting to watch:
Two competitors swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a "volley" and then we post that to the site live.

The players may be designers, animators, illustrators or pretty much anything else, and they can use any tool or application they like. The match progresses volley by volley.

A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action as it happens.


To get an idea of how it works, check out Van Meter vs. Hutchinson or Glass vs. Inman.
