One of 8 posters in a set showing different areas of the origional level of super mario brothers. The 4 characters in the upper right are cutouts and have sticky tack on the back so students can move them around as they like on the board.

This allows the students to interact with the advertising and will potentially bring alot of attention to them. We’ll see soon enough!

They love this stuff. Bringing the call of duty. I want to take just a moment to emphasize the extreme difficulty of making a unique poster without the use of guns or violence on a game based entirely on explosions and shooting.

This poster was one of my favorites, and was of course turned down for being too potentially violent. I could change the poses and add it, but I dont think it would look anywhere near as good. Let me know what you think!

My latest game club promo image. A pair of gameboys. Turned out really nice. I love the lighting on this. For such a basic design and a small number of layers, it turned out pretty realistic looking.

Let me know what you think!

This is a quick poster I slapped together to advertise our ODST party this Friday. I love how basic it is.

I wish I had more time to work on the tape but, whatever. It gets the point across.

Well, I’ve gathered all my spare change laying around the house and purchased an Arduino board last week. For anyone that doesn’t know what Arduino is, it is a micro controller board that is based around c/java versus the standard stamp boards that are in basic.
These boards are around 35-40 dollars pre-assembled and are used with the ATMega328 chip. This is a significant decrease in the cost of the stamp controllers or the Lego Mindstorm junk. That stuff is just too expensive to get started with and Arduino bridges that price gap by removing some of the flare without removing any of the power. Take a look at their website with plenty of comprehensive information at http://www.arduino.cc.

The other great benefit of this stuff versus alot of the others is it’s all open source. The software, the hardware, the design information, everything is open for research and quite easy to find! Within a few days (with help of my father who has been doing this stuff for quite a few years with the stamp controllers), I had managed to not only start prototyping boards, but get a proof of concept on how I can make lots of these very quickly and cheaply by ordering just a few parts online.

I already printed this bad boy out. It was done in a rush and doesn’t look super great, but turned out pretty well for a direct copy/paste job.

Avoiding any kind of weapons was a mighty pain in the ass in this situation. If someone bitches about the small man on horseback with a bow and arrow pointed at the monster, I am just going to walk away.
