Dry transfer lettering
Found these in the local Post-Office, been there done that - anyone else used to have to copy and paste - with paste? anyone else have to set type with letraset (the prefered dry transfer of choice I think - i’ve got some somewhere
or even better - anyone have to use dry transfer letratone? sheets of lines or dots - ah this was one of the advantages of having an uncle who worked at the Telegraph’s graphic illustration department and a dad who’s a draftsman

Really like the c and the g’s pretty cool too
In fact it’s this sheet that initial inspired the KAPOW.ME print Blue C Cheese

Brighton Barcamp 3 + Kapow.me

Brighton Barcamp 3 Thank you poster, originally uploaded by atomicShed.

The posters have arrived

And Kapow.me is a major contributor to barcamp brighton ! how cool is that.

To be honest over a year ago when I was asked to create the brighton barcamp logo I never thought I’d be producing slideshows, posters and contributing to such a cool project. And it was definately not the aim, all I wanted originally was to put a little into my new home (had just moved to Hove) and use it as a way to meet people in the area.

You know I might actually have to take an hour off on the Saturday and head up to Sussex Uni to see it in action. Unfortunately I can’t attend _again_ because of work commitments.

PlayTV for your Playstation 3

2008-08-29T14:23:36Z

PlayTV is now available
personally I’d love to get this but seeing as I already have Sky+ it might be a gadget too far so I think I’ll wait see if anything comes of the Sky + playstation rumours. Essentially PlayTV adds digital video recording functionality to your playstation 3. You can then access recorded video via the playstation 3 or wirelessly via a PSP (local or over the net). Not bad for £70 or so (£59.99 on amazon, £10 off)
The box does look crap, but it will be hidden away I guess. Very interested to see the user interface and actually have a go with the program guide etc… seeing as there SO many bad ways to do it!

Zero energy media wall

2008-08-27T09:26:29Z

Damn I love this

Digital artists participate in developing content for the wall — ranging from video games to micro photography. Another interesting detail about the wall is its interactivity, which makes it controversial. Giostra + Partners is negotiating with the government to get the approval for interactive, user-generated content. However, right now the Chinese government approves all content and “they make sure someone is next to the computer,” Giostra said. “If you think of the context and the time — China, 2008 — this [interactivity] becomes a huge issue.”

Need to revitalise some Olympic sports how about…

2008-08-18T20:27:41Z

Horse jumping + fencing
Not proposing full armor.. well maybe
marathon + skeet
can’t see too many people laughing at poor Paula armed with a shotgun
shot-putt + ping-pong
Not sure which way round, shot putters putting ping-pongs or ping-pongers hitting shot putts
hurdlers + show jumping
would have loved to have seen Colin Jackson hurdling a Chinese lantern themed 6ft high jump
hammer + javalin + wrestling
Gladiators are you ready!
high dive + long jump
NO BOMBING!
Finn Class boating + shotguns
shotguns upgraded to small canon
Gymnastics (the rubbish floor event with the ball) + volleyball
would give those girls a reason to have a ball - but personally would prefer the volleyball players to be partaking more and no leotards
white water canoing + greco-roman wresting
because it would be funny
Olympic flame + insert any sport you want
You know that flame isn’t used enough - it’s there ALL the time doing nothing!

Bad Design is

2008-08-17T12:19:17Z

Bad design is where the customer thinks it’s their fault that something doesn’t work. So if you can’t make your GPS device work in your car — I mean, there should be a riot because they’re so poorly designed! Instead, the user thinks, ‘Oh, I’m not very smart, I can’t make this GPS thing work.’ People should demand more from the things they own, they need to demand that things work

Poster Proof, originally uploaded by atomicShed.

Well this morning was quite exciting, we received our first A2 poster proof of ‘180 Ice-Creams’.
More to come….

I’ll be getting a run of poster prints together soon and depending on costs a very limited run of 2 colour screen prints. If your interested email tellmemore@kapow.me
(if you email us you will get a special discount code when the site launches)
if your a designer or illustrator who want’s to sell prints then also contact us on the above email. We won’t respond right away but as soon as we’re ready to roll we WILL contact you.

They really aren’t going to be very expensive - well the aim is for them not to be

Eventually prints will be sold through www.kapow.me
but we’re finalising our choice of shopping system
