Things I heard of at HOW 2007 that I researched
posted by Raffi Week in Review June 25th, 2007Some guy we met at some bar in Atlanta mentioned some website - you know how that goes. It’s called http://threadless.com/. You can upload t-shirt designs, buy yours and others’ t-shirt designs, vote on t-shirt designs… etc. And they have kids T’s and sweatshirts too.
That site led me to the site of designer Travis Pitts. He is a seven-time-awarded designer at threadless and is also making a mosaic of Bettie Page out of dice. I’ve never seen art from dice before but I am quite jealous. It reminds of my dot matrics printer of yesteryear.
At HOW I was telling others about MOPHIE Illuminator Process. This teen entrepreneur takes ideas people have for ipod accessories and has them manufactured - makes them come to life. Great shopping for people who take their ipod everywhere and are looking for innovative ways to get an all-in-one for their phone/wallet/keys/headphones/ipod… which probably led to the creation of the iphone, due in stores in a few days.
One speaker told everyone to get on facebook.com and linkedin.com. I am already a Linkedin member, and don’t see the advantage to joining both, so I didn’t.
I also wanted to see Chip Kidd’s final Superman comic book cover, since we saw early stages of it. A little research found the effeminate strong man relaxing on a cloud.
One site I learned about is being worked on right now, but if you need more Flash-plus-video tutorials, check out http://gotoandlearn.com/download.php.
Last but not least, if you need some tunes, remember the Clermont while chillin’ with Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man.
