Mini-FAQ

• What's the point?

A Design Slam is where we have a fictitious company present a problem to "agencies" made of random torcampers. These ingenious and innovative people will have a set block of time to design and pitch their idea to the company.

• What are the rules?

Rule #1 of SlamCamp: Bring Your Brain to Slam Camp ;)

Rule #2 of SlamCamp: No computers allowed. Why no computers? - Because real design is done with your brains and your peers.
