Last week's game was about recognizing places. This week is all about knowing your movies. Below you see parts of movie posters, DVD-covers and marketing material from 9 movies…
…and now the task is to tell me the names of those movies. This should be actually fairly simple, but I'm guessing recognizing a couple of these will take some time. :)
Once again, the winner (the first one with the right answers or the one with the most right answers before the "deadline") gets enough brouzoufs for a free t-shirt from our selection. You have until midnight (GMT) today or until we have a correct answer - which ever comes first. Have fun, moviefreaks!
PS. Camille is currently sorting out the brouzouf-mess from the last weeks. In case you're a winner for the past few weeks, could you please tell me if you've got yours already or not? Cheers.
The world of laFraise is full of surprises even for me; I’ve been concentrating into other tasks than blogging so spread the word about our wonderful shirts for a few days now and during that time we’ve released 4 new shirts. That’s a nice load, don’t you think?
Let’s start talking about them with the newest one: “Chuck You” hardly needs any explaining, huh? The manliest of all men will make a nice addition to your t-shirt collection and I’ll be damned if wearing this one won’t get the conversation going even with total stangers! Ted Boundy, the Texas ranger of our designer community made this delicious treat for us.
We haven’t had too many cute designs released lately but “Ptits déj' dynamiques” is here to fix that for good. This Mad’-release consists of a top and a pair of what I believe crazy English people call “knickers.” Lulu must’ve been stalking me from my kitchen window (which is actually quite an accomplishment considering the fact that I live on the second floor) because I look exactly like the squirrel in this design for two straight hours after I wake up each morning.
“Cereal Killer” is a design I could praise endlessly and we’ve printed it really nicely too. This is just the direction I’m hoping we are heading to more and more here at laFraise in the future! Crisp and clean style, innovative idea and a great way of making an illustration out of it, a huge print… and… and.. Well, you get the point. The design is just too sweet – true DracoImagem.com quality.
The last of the new designs opens a window to another world. Personally I’ve always been curious of how people look from the inside but stupid laws and stuff restrict me from finding out. Thanks to Yaco’s “Course” I now know it’s airplanes we’ve got in our guts.
When I look to the horizon I can already see a legion of new shirts heading to this direction. So, watch out for updates!

Here's some more pictures from the East Side hall of fame in Berlin and of the pieces me and Mike made last sunday. Some more are still to come.
I've always been interested in abandoned places and the East Side HOF is just so sweet. The pics do the talking better than words.
While you're reading this I'm probably on a plane flying back to Finland. I thought you might enjoy doing some sightseeing from air yourself. So, today's Friday game is „Google sightseeing.“
Above you see 10 thumbnails of places all around the world viewed from space. Your task is to identify them – some are obvious, some fairly easy and some really hard. The first user that names all of the places correctly receives enough brouzoufs for a shirt from our selection (shipping included). If nobody gets all ten of them then the winner will be the user with the most correct answer before midnight (GMT) on sunday. Special thanks to our german blogger Mike for helping me with this one. Have fun!
PS. Did everyone get their brouzoufs from the past Friday games? It should be finally done. :)
…and here comes our next shirt!
„Einstein“ kinda explains itself: the classic photo of the supernerd of all times presented using his greatest invention. It's available in silver and ash for your pleasure. Jebs made this one for us - second design published from him this week, congratulations! :)

I'm not even sure how I should put this because I'm so damn excited about it myself, so I better just get to the point:
The designer members of our community have definitely felt restricted with the print limitations we have for designs. Even if Theoze just showed us how with using those 4 colors effectively you can create a whole lot more ultimately 4 is still 4 and nothing changes that. But ta-daa! I'm happy to report that from now you can double that; the new limit for unique colors in a design is 8. Yeah, you heard it right, 8!
Like the FAQ in our site now says using rasters and gradients is also ok as long the final amount of colors needed to be print the design doesn't exceed 8. Also, you can use either metallic or neon colors in your design and parts of it can be done using foils and glossy stuff. Check out the FAQ for more info.
Finally, the maximum print size is 52cm high & 42cm wide, which allows you to make HUGE prints. Our shirts are the canvas for your creativity – make the most out of them by trying out doing prints that fill more than just the chest.
The blogger is very happy today. It's not raining in Berlin and still I see multiple rainbows in the sky and lots of colors, colors and colors in the future laFraise shirts. Oh yeah, did I mention the COLORS?
The new shirt of the day brings back some golden memories from the late 80's and early 90's. In my mind I cherish the countless hours I spent playing Bubble Bobble with my little brother and my friends. The name of the game is also the name of Jebs' design. Even though the text below the actual design is in French it doesn't take much translating - „Manufacturing bubbles since 1986.“
I've been thinking about getting myself an Amiga500 again. It was the first computer in our household (I got it as a birthday present in '88 when I turned 10) and Bubble Bobble was among the first games we had for it. A former girlfriend of mine sold this retro delight and all the games for roughly 30 euros ten years after that while I was doing my time in the finnish army without telling me about it because she thought it was „useless.“ As a proper geek I still feel bitter about that today.

This monday we've got two new shirts to offer. Without further hesitation the first one of them is „Moosh.“ It features humans taking a serious beating from a superfly – this insect clearly feels that it's our time to suffer. The design is by GUS, thanks a lot for the nightmares I'm about to have!
The other new shirt is „Become a legend“ which is available in two different versions; gold and silver prints on black shirts. So, this one goes to the all the people that either support making the final solution or are desperate for fame at any cost. This one's by Connect!
Berlin is cursed. I've only been here for a day now and it seems that I'm heading from an accident to another; yesterday my laptop case broke when I was sitting on a bus and now I have to haul the damn thing from a handle, which is really inconvenient. Not that it even matters because I forgot the recharger back home and now I'm sitting at the office with a dead battery. All my work files are on my laptop and I've spent half of the last two nights working on finalizing a presentation for our french boss Guillaume to see. I pretty much got finished with it 9AM today after which the laptop died on me and I noticed the missing recharger. I've spent 2 hours searching for a replacement with no success.
Besides that there was only icecold water in the shower this morning (well, at least that certainly woke me up in a matter of seconds but I almost my brain washing my hair), Mike spilled his coffee and we briefly locked ourselves outside the office door on cigarette break. Yeah, I know I've quit but today's such a trainwreck I can't handle it without nicotine.
Yesterday was really nice though. I visited the East Side Gallery with our german blogger Mike and his bunch for a lovely day of painting graffiti. We both did laFraise-stuff; he painted our logo and I did a fairly large piece. My photos from yesterday are on my laptop so I won't be able to share them with you before friday but here's one by Mike:
My piece is on the far left. I'll post better pictures as soon as I can.
