Reflections on pdfheaven again

Found this when thinking about re-starting pdfheaven - a little snapshot of the year 2000 a posting I made to newsgroup comp.txt.pdf, wondering how I'd approach this now:

Hi all,
PDFheaven here, home of 'creative Acrobatics', for all types of creative
content in Acrobat pdf format.

*Currently on the site*
We kind of went sticker crazy - no sooner were Shepard Fairey's stickers
online than we were inundated with other folks' sticker designs - check
out Guerrilla artist Steve Crozier and graphic designer and comic artist
SKIP-RAT's designs.

Also on the site, Paris- ased multi-media artist Julie Morel invites you
to play the I.D. game. Print out and reassemble this 'digital' image -
full instructions included - watch out it's pretty big! We've also got
'Apocalyptic images 'from artist David Miles, digitally created
figurative interpretations of the word images presented in the book of
revelation.

*New to the site*
A series of 'moc-ads' by graphic designer, Katy Parry as she
investigates the phenonemon of the shock advert.

*It's a pdf-bakeathon*
Last month we announced the biggest ever festival of creative
acrobatics, a world's fair of exciting work in Acrobat Portable Document
Format - the multi-platform, multi-application medium for exchange of
digital documents. So far we have had all sorts of pdfs submitted from
maps to magic tricks.

We're still on the hunt for all things creative in pdf, in the
biggest-ever call for creative pdfs. Photographs, graphics, paintings,
QuickTime, Origami, art stickers or literature - if it's pdf we want to
see it. There is no deadline on submissions but each month a handful of
pieces will be selected by our panel of experts to feature on
www.pdfheaven.com. And all selected will be showcased at this year's
Metapod.expo 20th - 28th October. So mail us something and tell a
friend.

Coming up in pdfheaven in the coming weeks - stay tuned for more Origami
this time from Paris-based artist Marie-Ange Guilleminot. Also from our
open submission - postcards from graphic designer Donald Harris and
Photographs from Zharar Chandry and much much more.

*Just an idea* - stuff we'd quite like to see: Got any t-shirt designs?
These would be fab to download, print and iron on.

Check us out at

and email me, pdfsub...@pdfheaven.com with your content, ideas, and
suggestions.
