We need designers !!!

Greg — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 05:49:20 +0000

We want to broaden our appeal by having a wider range of designs and we want to work with designers and artists to do this. We already have some partnerships in the works, but we would like more. To work successfully with a designer, we would like the following:

We would like to build a medium- or longish-term relationship with our designers and artists, rather than a once-off.

We would like to have designers who do something different from what we’ve done before.

If the designer or artist has some sort of track record or following, that’s a big plus. But it’s not an absolute must-have.

We have a couple of different commercial deals available, depending. One designer we are working with has set up his own shop, under his own brand. We are also talking about deals where we will sell the pictures on our own site. We are also looking at doing deals for distribution in particular territories, and other arrangements. As for the money, it depends, we give what we think is a pretty fair share of revenue to our external artists.

So if you are interested, or know someone who might be, get in touch!

Happy Birthday C64

Greg — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:18:46 +0000

We have a very special birthday this week – Commodore C64 turns 30.
Here, in aspoke.com , we all remember countless hours spent waiting for tapes to load with our favourite games, such as: River Ride, No Mercy, Flimbo’s Quest. So this is also our history and we’re proud of it.

I remember my first ‘applications’ programmed in BASIC. Do you remember that:

10 PRINT “I LOVE ASPOKE”
20 GOTO 10

(for those who were born later – this code will show I LOVE ASPOKE on a whole page)

If you miss these beautiful times you can actually go back with Commodore USA. This company, founded by Barry Altman, is licensing the Commodore name and look. In April 2011 they released the Commodore 64x with the original look and the Commodore OS Vision – based on the Linux – operating system.

Custom skins now available for iPads and iPods

Greg — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:15:54 +0000

Didn’t find a design that express your personality? Now you can upload photos or designs and get laminated covers that will instantly makeover your iPad or iPod with your own personal style.

This is how it works:

1. Upload 2 images: one for the front and one for the back of your device. You can upload only one image if you want it for both sides.
2. Make an order.
3. You will receive 2 skins – one that fits the front and one that fits the back of the device. At the same time, we’ll send you an email with attached wallpaper (based on your image) for the desktop. So the wallpaper will match the skin perfectly.

Resolution and quality

Your files should be as high-resolution as possible. We recommend 200 dpi (pixels per inch) or more.
That means that for a custom iPad skin, the image should be at least 1500×2000 pixels and for an iPod skin it shouldn’t be less than 500×900 pixels. It will work at a lower resolution but the quality won’t be as good. Allowed file formats are: JPG, GIF and PNG, but we can also do it from PSD, TIFF, AI, PDF and more. Contact us if you want to use any of these.

Skins

Aspoke skins are removable adhesive, laminated covers. Our premium printing process assures the highest possible quality printouts. Skins are easy to apply and can be completely removed in minutes.

Perfect fit

Skins are accurately cut to perfectly fit your device. They don’t interfere with other accessories like cameras, docks etc.
