Top Ten Records – Countdown —2—

August 20, 2008 · 1 Comment

Two days left to get your Top Ten Records Polaroids made. Load that expensive 600 film and get snapping.

Although I don’t normally condone the fake Polaroid integral print frame, here is some inspiration from a design savvy site using that ubiquitous white frame. Good design makes bad design look SO bad.

Polaroid 600 film – $13/pack!

August 19, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Super sleuthy Lukeadelphia has uncovered a great (well, relatively, in 2008 terms) source of Polaroid 600 film.

Staples!

I found a four pack in Berkeley, CA for $51.99, but couldn’t find anything online.
($13 a pack! $1.30 a shot! that is 40% than the average price everywhere else! yeah for math!)
