Poster Ideas

I wanted to make a big detailed stencil and create some cool big posters. BUT I also want to get the word out about my site a bit faster. So I am going to create some smaller stencils and use them to make posters closer to A3 size that I can put up around uni and Melbourne in the meantime. Here are some initial ideas:

New Idea

New idea for a shirt. Basically the old phone toy thing where you string two cans together and talk to each other. Childish, nostalgic, fun - Could look really good on bright colours. One can on each side of the body with a string connecting them. Let me know what you think.

New Tee For Sale

Created a new t-shirt this Friday. You've already seen this design but now it's a real shirt. Just got it up on the site and up for sale too!

Next Step: More Shirts! and Poster design. I'll be making one big poster stencil and spraying it on paper to create the posters so I'm excited to get that designed

Stencil Revolution

Am now a member of stencil revolution (www.stencilrevolution.com) and have uploaded some scans of my stencil designs so I can get some people who are really interested in the stencil culture, i.e. people browsing the site to see it and post some comments etc. Been up a few hours and already had quite a few looks and a couple comments - "VAN_DAL" reckons i'm ripping off banksy with my scissors but I haven't seen it before - i hope it's different! and a couple people are fighting about the design.
My user name is blackhotpink if you wanna check it out

and... the usual, let me know if you find any bugs etc and what you think of the design. thanks...

Headers are groovy

First would like to say congratulations on the fantastic talks and projects I got to see today! I came home with so much inspiration and full of ideas - just got to find time to do it all. Our own little AGIdeas was wonderful!
Soooooo close to getting the site up. Have just put in the correct buttons, prices etc and tested it all. I just have a couple more pages to put together and then HALLELUJAH!
Also have just worked out how to put my header on my PayPal shopping cart which meant I now understood how to get my own header on my blog. (see above)
that's all for now. peace out.

Splash Intro Page

I'm nearly ready to get my site up on the net. It won't be complete but it will be finished enough that people can buy up to 3 diff shirts and I will be able to add the rest in as I create it. So here is the next stage of what I've created so far:
http://www.blackhotpink.com/splashintro.html
It's going to be the first page the viewer sees before they go in to see my shirts etc. But I do want to eventually replace this with a little animation so hopefully this isn't what it will always be. It's a little clunky and crappy but it relates to the site it introduces and shows/explains the point of difference of my shirts.

First Stage

I've created the first page of the actual finished site. It was slow to make but i think (hope) the other pages will be faster because I can use this structure and menu etc but with different images. It's the page the customer will see if they click to buy the Bang! Bang! Bang! Tee. .. exciting!

And In Other News

My site has made it up to number 1 on Google if you type in blackhotpink no spaces! Pretty exciting. It has a little description there too but I'm researching at the moment into how to get this little bit of text that appears on the Google site to look a little more proffessional.
If anyone knows anything about 'meta' tags get back to me...

Hip Hooray for Help Services That Work!

So after my last problem with the 'view cart' button I emailed PayPal and they got back to me with the answer - and now the problem is fixed and my button works!!

And I thought I'd post the answer here in case others have a similar problem or may understand what it is about:

"If you examine the source code of the PayPal payment buttons, check to see if the variables have numbers appended to them (e.g. 'cmd2', 'business2', 'item_name2', 'submit2', etc.). This is called enumeration and is probably caused by your web editor. Depending on your settings, some editors (notably Dreamweaver and FrontPage 2003) will automatically enumerate form variables in your HTML code.
Since our server does not recognize these modified variables, it will cause the buttons to not function correctly. This is why your buttons are going to the PayPal home page instead of a PayPal payment page. You will need to revise your HTML code and remove the numeral after each variable.
You can also disable Dreamweaver from enumerating your variables by following these steps:
1. In Dreamweaver, click 'Edit'
2. Click 'Preferences'
3. Under 'General', deselect 'Rename Form Items When Pasting' (for Dreamweaver MX, this option is located under 'Code Rewriting')
You can also prevent FrontPage 2003 from enumerating your variables by following these steps:
1. In FrontPage 2003, go to the top and click on 'Tools'
2. Click 'Page Options'
3. Select the 'General' tab, if not already selected
4. Clear the checkbox next to 'Make ID Unique on Paste'
5. Click the 'OK' button to save your changes
If you are not using Dreamweaver or FrontPage 2003, you will need to consult your editor's help files to learn how to disable this setting or you can manually remove the added numbers from the variable names in the HTML source code."
