Geekly Weekly: i, eye, yuy

Computers have certainly changed the face of geekery, none more then Apple. My first home computer was an Apple IIe; it had a monochromatic screen and two disk drives. I didn't have an email address until I was in college! Now my home is filled with products connected to the geek universe. I can update facebook on an iphone, read Orson Scott Card on an ipad and photoshop my etsy listings on a Macbook. Congratulations Steve Jobs, you have taken over my home.

Making a removable laptop decal

i just got a new macbook and since it is still in good condition I am not ready to put a permanent sticker across the front. I know they make window clings and magnets but I really wanted something personal that I could not find in a shop. Having one made for you online can cost more then $30! For a sticker!!!


So I did a little online research and you can buy inkjet printable window cling paper. It costs $12.99 at Staples where I found it for 10 sheets, but it is 8.5x11 and you can make any design you want. Compared to $30 it seems pretty reasonable.

I am going to combine the two images shown to make a cool new sticker for my laptop. Both are my original illustrations so it will be good advertising too.

Materials:
inkjet printable window cling paper
computer
inkjet printer
scrap paper
ruler (to measure the surface you are making it for)

Instructions:
1) In your favorite design program, create an image that you want to adhere to your laptop
2) take measurements of the surface and make sure what you have created will cover it. Re-size to fit
3) be sure to print it on the scrap paper first to make sure it looks just like you want
4) print your final version and slap it on your laptop.

Here is my final design, I call it "Peace, Love and Apple"
