"I was very impressed by the way the author took an advantage of Swipe animation. New technologies like Swipe need early adaptors who are willing to innovate together, and this is one of great examples," said Satoshi Nakajima of Hidetoshi Tomimoto's entry.
"Although other entrants worked wonderfully with the new technology, this contestant seemed to have a sense of the rhythm and variety of the tools available. And although I was entranced by the other entrants, I felt this one used the tools in the most entertaining way," commented Neal Adams regarding the winning submission for The Neal Adams Award.
The two award winners will receive substantial global exposure for their design works, including visibility on Swipie, the platform's consumer application designed to share creative content), as well as media announcements and future Swipe conferences and exhibitions.
