You wanna piece of me?

Aral Moo Mosaic

I love trying new things with Moo cards whenever I run out of a batch.

This time around, I thought it would be fun to take one large image and break it up into a hundred small cards to create a Moo card mosaic.

I started with a lovely photo of myself as The Phantom of the Opera that Jane Dallaway took last year at my fancy dress Friday 13th housewarming party and sliced it into a hundred pieces with Photoshop. (I also applied a little Smart Blur to it to so that you would not be subjected to too much detail of my overly-magnified facial pores!)

If you want to create your own Moo card mosaics, grab this Photoshop file (.zip; 0.5MB) that's set to the correct dimensions and comes pre-sliced for your convenience. (Just do a Save for Web after adding your own picture to it and you'll get a hundred images that you can zip up and upload to Moo.)

So if you see me around, feel free to ask for a piece of me -- you might just get one! :)

Relly has a much nicer close-up of the cards than my pic (using my camera, no less, which is now her camera) :)

Moo we Love to Print

Denise Wilton, Moo's graphic designer and community manager and co-founder of B3ta, mentions the SWX Moo cards in a blog post titled You and the awesome things you do.

How cool! Thanks, Denise! :)

(I was lucky enough to hear Denise speak at a Girl Geek Dinner here in Brighton and was very surprised to hear that it was one of her first talks -- she's a natural speaker and I really enjoyed the talk. She's going to be back in Brighton in September to give a talk titled Human Traffic with George Oates at dConstruct 2007.)

SWX goes all sticky with Moo!

Swx moo Stickers

I just received my first two sets of Moo stickers for SWX and they're lovely! :)

If you want your own SWX Moo stickers, you can make some by uploading the JPEG below using the Moo sticker creator.

SWX Moo Sticker

Also, here is the original SWX Moo sticker Photoshop file (.zip, 256KB) that you can use as a general Moo sticker template for your own Moo stickers (there isn't one available on Moo's site at the moment.) It contains a 2mm bleed on all sides which you can see if you enable the guides.

If you want some SWX Moo stickers (and a SWX moo card or two) and you don't want to print your own, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the following address and I'll send you some:

SWX me up, Aral!
14 Brighton Place
Brighton, BN1 1HJ
United Kingdom.

(Or just come up and say hello to me if you see me around at a conference or other community event.)
