Themed events
Posted by admin | Filed under Design
I love a good theme, I really do, when someone has put their heart and soul into an event/occasion and you can tell they have thought through all the little details to make it really hang together. The first time I realised how important themeing can be is when I went to Islands Of Adventure in Florida for the first time. I had been to Alton Towers loads as a kid and loved it, the rides were great and we always had a laugh. When we went to Florida I expected much of the same and in most theme parks that is exactly what I got until IoA. IoA did not only have the best god damn rides in Florida but every single thing kept to the theme I mean everything the bins, the street, the doors, the characters it is everywhere and becomes part of the experience and I love that.
This guy who writes for Magic shows the details of his wedding and it is bloody brilliantly themed, get yourself over there and take a look, see here.
Block Posters - turning small pictures into a wall poster
Posted by admin | Filed under Photography
I was looking for a way of getting one of my pictures turned into a big wall canvas a bit like those you see at Ikea but the cost was getting ridiculous (nearly £600 was one price I got) so have been on the lookout for a different approach and I found this. Block Posters lets you upload an image which it scales and then turns into a pdf with A4 size which you print yourself. I know this won’t look quite as professional and may be a bit blocky but I may give it a try, see here.
