Hey all, just a quick reminder that we are having another meeting tomorrow (Thursday 5th) at uni in the usual studio room at 10.30am. See you all then.

Posted in 1 comments Posted by Nick at 10:23 PM  

Since some of us don't have Facebook, I thought I would share some of the comments that are been posted.

From Facebook:

Haha. Cool idea...I'm a bit iffy about the name though, but I like the concept....I actually saw a few guys at the 2am Curfew protest wearing "mesobored" T-shirts and thought it was just another bedroom clothing label. Lol..I'll upload some work when I get a chance :)...and I dig the website too. Very nice work indeed! Who designed it?

been on the website it is cool, lots of great pics, is this an assignment, an independent web project or a web developer merely "mesobored" ? Jessica Brady i'm looking in your direction for an answer ;-)

And from the Forums:

I'd love a copy of your 'faces' picture in A4 size.

Wow - this is a fantastic idea! Thankyou for sharing and I can't wait to upload!

Keep up the great work guys. We will have a Visitor update shortly!!

Just so you guys know as well.. we have 124 Colored A3 Posters and a huge 500 Stickers awaiting us tomorrow!! Its time to start "TAGGING"

Posted in 3 comments Posted by Aaron at 4:44 PM  

Hey guys, just thought I would update you on how the website is going. Since last night we have had 123 different individuals jump on the site and they are coming from all over the world. We have had people from the US, Canada, the UK, Malaysia, Macao, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Argentina and Norway (we've even had a couple of pieces added to the site by a photographer from here). A lot of this traffic is coming as a result of referrals through forums so keep spreading the word. It's really exciting stuff!

To all those requiring the Tag It Logo and Sticker Mockups you can download the entire lot in a .ZIP from here. I have also included the font which is known as HolidayA and HolidayA Bold so that we can keep a standard on all print and web pieces. The file is a little over 7Mb Big

A style guide will be available later tonight or early tomorrow.
