Favorite Summer Photo Poster from MyCupcakeMafia.com Contest
The Cupcake Mafia folks just had a favorite summer photo contest and announced the winner. Does it get any cuter?
Posters for Imagine Wines
Imagine Wines recently made this really cool poster for their 2009-2010 season. Many of their wine labels are really cool looking and have a woman on them who they call “Pearl”. They conducted a contest to find a real-life Pearl, click here to see. We love the retro look and the nostalgia that goes with it. Makes me think of old-fashioned hand-crafted wines. We haven’t tried their wines yet, but we imagine they taste as refined as their art work. Give them a try here.
Book Cover Poster
A very talented local Colorado artist, Christopher Manzanares, created this AMAZING illustration for the cover of a poetry collection book that’s about to be released called La Fe by Jeanette Gillmore. Christopher shows how he created the illustration here. Very cool!
Firefighter Retirement Gift Poster
We love seeing gift orders come through because we know they are from the heart. Like this one from Nancy from Philadelphia, who blew up a bunch of firetruck photos to give as a retirement gift to her husband (Samuel Rosario Sr.) who has been a firefighter for 25 years with IAFF Local 22 Philadelphia… “This way he will always have these beautiful pictures of his firetrucks.” For what he will do after he retires, “well his ‘honey to do list’ is pretty long”
What a COOL gift Nancy! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of it.
Inspired in part by Nancy, and to make it easier for more people to be the best gift-givers ever, we just created a really cool “add gift wrap” option at checkout. Check the box and we will ship the posters in a high-gloss red tube with a silver and blue bow sticker. AND for those who want to add a note inside, you can just email us your message and we’ll will hand-write it for you on our nice gift cards and include that in the tube as well! For the time being we are offering this for free – so be the BEST gift-giver ever and blow up some posters for your loved ones!
Store Sign Poster
We love helping our fellow business owners attract more customers with in-store signs. Studio Floral of Cleveland Ohio made these really vibrant SALE posters and used good-ole-fashion clear packing tape to hang them on their windows. WOW, what a great impact these signs have on their store front! If you are in the hood and need some beautiful flowers for a loved one or an event, feel free to stop by (and mention what cool signs they have).
Team Poster
We love seeing posters of teams celebrating their championships (soccer, baseball, and football). This is the first lifeguard championship we’ve had the honor to help celebrate. It’s the L.A. County Lifeguards in Los Angeles’ 23rd CONSECUTIVE year defending their team title! WOW, LA has some great swimmers!
This year was in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. So the team rented a 40 foot trailer to haul all their lifeguard equipment. From paddleboards, to surf skis, dory boats, and all other lifeguard equipment. One of their team sponsors is United Association – Local Union 250 which are pipefitter, steamfitters, welders and refrigeration fitters. Which made it all possible.
Congratulations from everyone at PosterBrain! We wish we could swim as well as you!
Wedding Pictures Mosaic Poster
One of the COOLEST posters just came through yesterday – a photo mosaic of 2,000 wedding pictures that then ITSELF is a picture of the newlyweds. Brad G from New York just had his one year anniversary (congrats Brad!) and was trying to figure out two things:
1. What to do with the 2,000+ pictures that didn’t make the wedding album.
2. How to surprise his new bride with something really cool and show how much he loves her after a year.
Brad’s friend Benji told him about Foto-Mosaik-Edda, a freeware photo software. You can create mosaic-pictures, which are composed of many small pictures (tiles), from your own photos. He downloaded the software, loaded up all of his pictures, saved the result, and then uploaded it to PosterBrain to print it into a poster. And VOILA, he’s got an insta I-LOVE-YOU-THIS-MUCH poster present!
Thanks Steffen Schirmer, for creating such a COOL, easy-to-use software to show our wives how much we love them!
Wedding Poster
Timothy Hartsock are super-fun wedding photographers. They have a couple who is getting married in October in downtown Indianapolis at the Fountain Square Theatre and thought it would be really cool to have movie posters made of the two of them. They will be displayed in the outside poster cases so guests can see them as they arrive for the wedding. They wanted one of the posters designed similar to the “Gone with the Wind” Poster. So, from the engagement photos they shot, they used one to design their poster. After the wedding, they can frame their poster and hang it up to enjoy and remember their very special event! For anyone who is interested in having their own custom designed wedding poster, The Hartsock’s said they would love to create some fun for you too www.thehartsocks.com
