The Rasterbater - Make Huge Mosaics from your desktop printer

I found this a few months back and thought it was really cool. For everyone who doesn't own a wide format printer, this is the next best option...

"The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size."

Enjoy.

Power to the Poster -- Prints Now Available from Elevate Printing

Elevate Printing has teamed up with PowerToThePoster.org, the Match Factory, and scores of designers to help launch the Power to the Poster Citizen Gallery.



From the Groundswell Blog:

More than 60 designers and activists collaborated on Power to the Poster, and I was honored to have been invited (along with a number of other friendly faces) to sit on the judging panel that helped curate the selection of 30 posters now available at Citizen Gallery. Citizen Gallery The prints were selected from the most moving designs submitted to PowerToThePoster.org, and are made available as 15×24 and 24×38 prints by Chicago’s Elevate Printing. Artists receive 50% of the funds, and the printers are paid the other half. The organizers are also asking that each buyer contribute half the price of their purchase to a cause they support.

Its Great to Give Photo Credits!

I came across an image the other day in Google Images that had been picked off one of the Flickr accounts I contribute to. Its great to see someone (RoundPegg.com) actually using Flickr and crediting the original creator. This is also a great, creative use of the an image not originally created for the purpose of an article.
