Thanks to Threaded and the cool sponsors a good evening was had by all. Some lucky cats took home some prize packs and everyone got some some epic (they need this beer on tap in every pub).
The new issue is tops, get one at mag nation.

Threaded Issue 6 Launch Photos
Meet our Mo Team
endemicworld.com are sponsoring the vodafone Christchurch movember team.
Check them out in their Kinoo kiwi t-shirts (left to right: Jared, Kerry, Mark, Paul, Julian & Peter). For every Kinoo kiwi t-shirt sold during movember we’re giving $1 to their movember campaign.
Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men’s health.
9D exhibition
We were lucky enough to check out the 9D Design Collective exhibition last Friday. Some final year design students from AUT got together to form 9D as a way to showcase their final year projects.
Some pics below of our favourite project by Andy Bamford. Andy had produced an illustrated video on how to beat match two vinyl records. We could have watched it over and over. Smoothly edited and it had some mean Dub Step booming under foot too.
Keep an eye these budding new creatives…
50 ways to help
Our two favourites are…. whats yours?
Our friend Anthony sent us this in the weekend. What a cool way to cheaply and easily get people moving towards a greener lifestyle. Now that the Greens are out and the new government is anti-Kyoto it is up to us to keep NZ beautiful. We started today trying not to talk about politics but we just can’t help it as we feel passionate about our piece of paradise. Cross your fingers our nations image does not get green washed any further (e.g. 100% Pure), leaving it for future generations to worry about.
Threaded Magazine Launch November 11th
Make sure you go to the launch of Issue 6 of Threaded Magazine on November 11th at 6pm at Magnation (the old Magazzino) on Ponsonby Road, Auckland. The first 50 through the door get a goodie bag full of freebies (like the Design Speaks Louder Book).
We are stoked to be sponsors of Issue 6. Prizes to be won on the night too. It’ a good night to meet fellow budding designers and industry people and those who just dig a mag launch and free red bull’s.
We will be there, come and say hello!
nzonscreen.com launches
nzonscreen.com launched recently. I checked it out this morning and was impressed. Basically it’s a place to watch nz produced television and film.
They say… “NZ On Screen is unlocking the treasure chest, providing access to the wealth of television, film, music video and new media produced in NZ, along with knowledgeable background information.”
I really like the site, video streamed (no buffering), but this was 7:30am on a zooped up business plan from Telecom, so if your an evening surfer (5pm-10pm) your evening will be buffered no doubt.
I watched a short film about West Coast mining. Pretty cool……. and free! Thanks to NZ on Air funding. Good luck not getting busted at work watching nz’s unlocked treasure chest of tv and film. Think I will watch “Flare – A Ski Trip” next. Produced in 1977. Check out those rainbow shin ski pants….
