The results are in folks - the first ever Brighton Munge-off (patent pending) has come and gone and the winners have been announced.

You may want this explained a bit - which is fair enough. We recently took our in-house developed Facemunger application on its first outing to Glug Brighton 2 (a designers' networking event held by Crush and Agency Rush). Here willing gluggers (or glugites? Glugians?) were encouraged to snap photos of themselves with their friends and let the application work its magic to swap their faces. The results were... interesting. The application, created by our Head of New Technology Joe Baskerville, proved to be extremely popular, and with almost 400 images captured that evening alone, going through them to find the ones to share was a tough job (on both the decision-making faculties and, much more prominently, the eyes). But here they are - the best of the best of the Facemunges from Glug Brighton 2.

Having looked at those you're probably thinking that the term 'best of the best' has never before been so misappropriated, and you'd probably be right. These are just a small selection of the horrors created during the evening, but to get more of an impression of what Facemunger can do, have a look at the Glug Brighton 2 Facemunger Flickr account here. 

Glug Brighton 2 saw more than just a frenzy of avid Facemungers though. Alongside the distorting, there were animations by the crew at Modern Toss, exhibitions by Boxbird, live art from McFaul Studio and Jess Wilson, fun with blocks thanks to Miller Goodman, speeches from Noma Bar and original Glug co-creators Studio Output and much, much more. It was another tremendous evening of designers 'notworking, rather than networking', and all of us Cogapp attendees had a great time.

With the popularity and success of past Glugs, there will be more to come in the future. Keep an eye on the Glug Brighton MeetUp page and Glug blog for more information on upcoming events.

... go on then, one more for the road:
