Eine Gelegenheit eure DesignSkillz international unter beweis zu stellen ist der GiantRobotContest. Ich liebe diese bunten Papierfiguren – auch PaperToys genannt. Hinter dem Contest steckt eine DesignIkone aus Japan: SHiN Tanaka ist selbst GraffitiArtist und PaperToySpezi. Ein Besuch auf seiner Website mach mächtig Spaß. Dort bietet er unter anderem eine CustomGallery an, wo Designer und Illustratoren aus der ganzen Welt seinen Templates ein Design verpasst haben und dort ausstellen.

To commemorate the completion of the 4-in-1 Robot Paper Toy Project seen in Giant Robot magazine, Scion and Giant Robot are challenging readers to design their own paper figures for a chance to meet the master of paper figures himself and have their paper toy template distributed at the Paper Art Show in April!
