Blogging on a tablet

Remember back in the days when your get a new toy and you just can’t put it down?

Those days can still come back and again you feel like a kid again HA! ahh so much fun…

I decided to pick up an iPad 2 yesterday on it launch at 5pm Sydney time. NO I DID NOT LINE UP AT THE APPLE STORE!!!

I don’t really understand the idea of lining up in a queue of hundreds if people just to buy what you want. Especially when just one block down in a third party reseller there was only a queue of 20 people!!! What? iPad from the apple store smells nicer??? It’s all the same to me…

So I decided to try my luck on the local Big W store in Pagewood just to avoid the crowd of the city.. And you know what? There was NO ONE THERE!!! Well maybe a few people but it NO Apple Store line….

Yes they do have limited stock and you can only buy one but all I wanted was one… Surprisingly it was also CHEAPER than Apple’s price. GOOD ONE BIG W!!!

So what have we learn… No lines and cheaper price. Oh yeah you don’t get the fancy draw string carry bag as you do from the Apple Store but heck I have 3… You want one??? Hahahaha

Anyway as you can see I’m still playing with my new toy so I should end this post here.

Have a good weekend everyone… :-)

Freebie – Invite Card

Its all fun when you work on something non work related.

Guess its the freedom to do whatever you want.

Recently I was asked as a favor to come up with an invite card that features both baby shower for the soon to be mommy and her birthday party. Guess sometimes it make sense to celebrate them together. Hey save you from attending another party on a different day.

Below is the card. You can use it as you please. Just fill in your details on the dotted lines. Enjoy!

What COLOUR are you?

Blue, black, green, yellow, red or rainbow?
So which one represents your branding?

Colours are everything. It makes your branding what it is and what you represents. It tells your story and show your emotion and passion.

If body language shows who you are, colours is the branding language of your company.

Such importance should never be taken lightly. So next time your designer ask, “What colours do you prefer?” think before you answer as the tone of the design can go so wrong when the colour is wrong.

p.s. NETT has put together an interesting article on this subject. For the interested you can find it on http://www.nett.com.au/grow-your-business/marketing/why-colour-is-important-in-branding1533
