Kingslip winning design

I mean like WOAH by Kingslip


Greetings design fans.

 

One of the coolest theme competitions to hit Springleap.com in recent months has to be our super styling, old school Retro theme competition.
After a fierce battle of 8-bit insanity Kingslip emerged victorious and took the win!

 

Kingslip has been submitting designs to our competitions for as long as I can remember. Indeed it’s difficult to keep track of all the wicked cool designs that he has sent us over the compo eons.
His winning design I mean like WOAH is however his very first winning design on Springleap.com
So this is indeed a very special moment for a guy that has added so much design power to our site.

 

I mean like WOAH is a design that reminds me of the days when our grandparents would wear tinfoil hats on their heads in order to survive the telepathic mind controlling powers of little green men from Mars.

The Buck Rogers helmet, complete with ultra “sci-fi” spaceship on top, really made me laugh.
This design is so awesomely retro its crazy.

Greenpeace competition


Hi there all you eco-warriors!

I’d like to take this opportunity to mention a Greenpeace competition that I feel really deserves all of our attentions. The basic idea is to rebrand the BP logo. Yes the company responsible for the atrocious oil spill we are seeing all over the media.
Here is a quick rundown about the spill and the Greenpeace competition itself.

The world has been hit with so many human atrocities in regards to pollution that it’s honestly hard to keep up these days. In recent weeks the story of stories has been about the “epic fail” of the immense oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by a BP rig.
The Deepwater Horizon spill has been seen as the worst man-influenced ecological disaster ever, or at least the biggest off-shore spill in US history.
Now that I serious stuff boys and girls!

The worst thing about the Deepwater Horizon spill is that very little has been done by the US government to contain the spill. Although actions have recently been taken by getting robots to cut holes in the pipe in order to install a cap, this was all done way, way, waaaaay too late to make a difference. The amount of oil that has spewed forth has made a terrible mess for the environment and has killed hundreds of birds and turtles. This only the beginning of what could be a ripple effect that will last throughout our lifetime and even our children’s childrens life times.

Transformers 3 leading lady


Autobots ENGAGE!!!!!

The net has been abuzz lately with the news that mega-babe Megan Fox will not be included in the cast for the upcoming Transformers 3 movie by Michael Bay.
While this may come as shock to many of you out there, the actual reason for the cast omission is rooted in a bitter feud between Fox and Bay. She says she left of her of volition, but Bay is saying he canned her ass!
So now we have a new leading lady to step in to fill this void. Who is possible of such a feat?
Well, the powers that be believe that the girl for the job is a lingerie model named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Yes that right boys and girls, she isn’t even a seasoned actor, she poses in her knickers for a living!
Supposedly this girl has appeared on Britain’s Next Top Model and has been seen in episodes of Victoria Secret Fashion Show. About her only other claim to fame is that she was being dated by Jason Statham of the shocking Transported franchise.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP Game ON!

With the imminent first kickoff for the World Cup 2010 commencing on Friday, the football fever that I spoke of yesterday has begun to really reach new heights here in Cape Town.
There is a sea of green and yellow South African football jerseys flowing through the streets, as well as a great many ripples of foreign team supporters.
The final touches are being tweaked and double checked. The flags are flying and the football posters are all over the place. It’s amazing what can be achieved in less than a month.
So far I have, as yet, not seen many pictures of Durban’s advertising/marketing efforts. I have seen Jozies and Cape Town for myself however. As far as I’m concerned Cape Town is leading the pack and is the most capable to receive our overseas visitors. Although I have no doubt that Joburg will step it up before game time!
