MacCentral Mosaic products now available to order by Jim Dalrymple, [EMAIL PROTECTED] July 11, 2002 1:55 am ET United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) today posted a special page on their Web site <http://www.ucpnyc.org/maccentral/maccentralitems.cfm> for people interested in supporting the MacCentral Mosaic Project 2002. There are three separate products available to order from UCP's Web site: The Mosaic poster; postcards; and a CD. The Mosaic poster is a 32 x 24-inch replica of the Mosaics that will be up for auction when Macworld Conference & Expo opens next week. The posters cost US$10.00 and are available from UCP's Web site. The postcards are actually a set of 35 individual postcards, each representing one of the 35 tiles in the Mosaic. A set of 35 postcards is available for $15.00 per set. Finally, the CDs, which also cost $10.00, contain a replica of the MacCentral Mosaic Web site <http://mosaic.maccentral.com/>. The Flash and Director project is self-contained and cross-platform, so it will work on both Macintosh and Windows-based PCs. All proceeds from the sale of the posters, postcards, CDs and the auction of the Mosaics at Macworld go to support United Cerebral Palsy. All of the time and resources of the artists and many companies that did layout and printed the products have all been donated to the MacCentral Mosaic Project. "The grassroots effort behind this project from MacCentral forum members has been incredible," said Colin Crawford CEO of Mac Publishing, publishers of Macworld and MacCentral. "I encourage the whole Mac community to support this worthy cause." Organized by members of MacCentral's forums, the Mosaic grew from an idea suggested a few months ago, to a full charity auction supporting United Cerebral Palsy. Thirty-five tiles in all, each artist contributed the artwork for one 4 x 4 inch tile -- the full size Mosaic measures 28 x 20 inches. None of the artists involved in the project knew what any of the others were doing for their tile. The artists would pass on 25 pixels of their finished tile to the next person to give them a place to start, but that's all each other knew about the others work. Five of the Mosaics are traveling through the United States and Canada this month to be signed by the individual artists. Artists as far away as New Zealand and Spain that have participated in the project will digitally sign the Mosaics when they arrive in New York later this week. The silent auction will begin when the show floor opens at Macworld Expo on July 17. Stop by the MacCentral Mosaic booth #1850 to make your bid and to speak with some of the artists and representatives from United Cerebral Palsy. Due to the response we have received from the Mac community that will not be attending Expo, but still wish to bid on the limited edition signed Mosaic, two Mosaics will be reserved for online bidding. Like the silent auction on the Expo show floor, a silent auction will be held online. You can send your bids to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- please include your full name and a contact phone number so we can reach you to verify your bid. The highest bids for the online Mosaic auction will be posted throughout the week, beginning July 15. The high bid will include the current high bid and the person's first initial and last name -- this way you will know if the high bid is in fact yours. More information on the Mosaic project can be found on Apple's Web site and an earlier story on MacCentral <http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0207/01.mosaic.php>. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
