The idea behind this is awesome competition is that it gives the artists real feedback, so they can improve their style, and simultaneously gets EVERYONE springleaping together. It’s our way of saying : thanks for your valuable conribution.

EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!

THis month the prize for the KING OF COMMENTS, QUEEN OF QUOTES is nothing short of the new JAW DROPPING SONY ERICSSON Z770 WORTH OVER R4000!!! courtesy of Sony Ericsson South Africa.

This phone is so hot and new it isn’t even available in most stores. You can see some of the specifications and take a gander at this gorgeous handset here : Sony Ericsson Z770 Homepage=

A big thanks to Sony Ericsson South Africa for sponsoring this awesome contest. It starts 1st June here at springleap and ends 30th June at midnight – time to springleap, Sony Ericsson Style.

Hi Guys

GREAT NEWS : I have just been given another wonderful Sony Ericsson cellphone to giveaway for King of Comments, Queen of Quotes!!

This time Sony Ericsson have given us a fantastic Sony Ericsson T303 – the world’s smallest slider cellphone – I will be giving this sweet little mobile mamba to the King of Comments, Queen of Quotes winner at the end of this month.

Now remember the criteria for this competition folks!!!

It’s not for the chump who spams us with loads of comments like : Nice design, iCk, or such.

This lofty award is for the springleaper that most consistently and constructively comments on designs throughout the month in a manner that helps artists at springleap, springleap forward with their style.

So let’s get cracking peeps – I have a super cell for the person with the biggest heart and a great love for helping artists with their sterling understanding of design.

Let the springleaping begin!

Duncan and Mark are pretty miffed as well!! Lol!

Everyone seems to be clammering about this awesome prize!

I think that giving away a Sony Ericsson cellular phone is absolutely the right kind of prize for King of Comments, Queen of Quote – quite simply (if for no other reason) is that this prize is all about top class communication and facilitating it.

Thanks to Sony Ericsson for being so awesome – they also recently dropped off 2 prototype HSUPA PCI-EXPRESS data cards for Eric and myself to make our jobs easier – the cards they gave us are so new that they still have “prototype model” underneath and don’t even have support sections on the SOny Ericsson website yet!!!

I can tell you that these cards are AWESOME – I am picking up signal in areas where my buddies with similar units don’t get reception at all – in fact in such a case I was able to stream a quicktime video for 5 hrs solid!

The cards even have GPS built in – Blows me away how they can squeeze so much in one little space.

So a BIG THANKS to SONY ERICSSON SA especially Jaco and Melissa who make things really happen there.

I was just thinking how much it sucks that I can’t qualify for this awesome Sony Ericsson prize :P

Hi Guys

A VERY big thanks to Ryan Lunn (ex Rookie label) – a stalwart vet of the garment industry who specializes in print reproduction, production and colour separation (also our Featured Artist for November – remember if you are SOUTH AFRICAN only and want to be a Featured Artist – please contact me directly at eran.e@springleap.com).

Ryan put together a little do and don’t of t-shirt design based on his considerable experience in the trade. I have included it in the springleap t-shirt template pack already, but here it is in just plain text :)

1. Artwork to be done in Illustrator, Photoshop, Freehand Flash or Coreldraw. If you use Coreldraw then please export your files to Adobe Illustrator

2. Stick to 7 colours and remember that includes base. Base is nothing the artist needs to incorporate but you need to bare it in mind. If your design is going on a coloured tee it will require a base coat of white which the artist needs to factor in when looking at their amount of colours. If your design is going on a white tee, base is not required!

3. All Freehand/ Illustrator effects such as lens are meant for web and most printers cant interperate them. Please Do Not use them!

4. If you are sending a psd (Adobe Photoshop) – please supply your artwork at 300dpi and begin working at that res – Do not work on a low res and bump it up after! Please send us the original psd files – not an export.

5. Please delete any unused colours and clean up your artwork

6. For best quality results of a print – vector art has cleaner edges. But if your art is very tonal then Photoshop is fine

7. If your art is extremely tonal eg. Waterpainting. Then the artist needs to realize, that colour wise, their art may not be exactly the same on the tee as the original. The screen printers will have to choose 7 colours to mix together to make the complete image! If you know how – please supply
colour separations

8. Don’t use all 7 colours if you don’t have to. A good way to cut down on colours is to use a percentage of another colour. For example: If your print has a dark pink and a light pink. Use a percentage of the dark pink to create your light pink eg 50%. On the garment this light pink will not be solid but will be made up of small dots letting the base white show through creating a lighter shade. Using tones of other colours is great if you trying to squeeze in more colours but too much can affect the quality and impact of your print! This is called using Half Tones Please tell us to use Half-Tones when submitting your designs – accompanied with instructions of how and where.

We hope this helps!!!

Happy designing!

Hey there quack :)

Umm have you never seen monty pythons skit ‘I am a lumberjack’?? It Hilarious!

The lyrics are as follows:

Album: Monty Python Sings (1991)

I am a lumberjack & I am OK
I sleep all night & I work all day

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea

I am a lumberjack & I am OK
I sleep all night & I work all day

I cut down trees, I skip & jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women´s clothing
And hang around in bars

I am a lumberjack & I am OK
I sleep all night & I work all day

I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders & a bra
I wish I would been a girlie
Just like my dear Mama

:P haha…funny :)
