Design a Mikon and have it included in the Web Directions Mikons set
A conference is as much about the new people you meet as the ideas and techniques you get to see first hand. That’s why you have a name badge that lets others quickly identify what your name is and who you work for. But who you really are is so much more than that.
This year at Web Directions South your name badge can also tell people about those things that are really important to you. And the best part is, you get to tell us what that is.
Maybe it’s your skills: CSS, HTML, Perl, PHP, Java, Flash, Ajax, Javascript etc etc etc
Or where you’re from: NSW, Qld, Vic, WA?
Whether you follow league, rugby, AFL, soccer?
Maybe you’re an early bird or a night owl? Clean desk or messy? Desktop or laptop? Coffee or tea?
Mac or Windows? Or Linux?
This is a great use for Mikons
Design your own Mikon
This year at Web Directions South you even get to design your own: here’s how it works.
Go along to the Mikons site and create an account.
Design a Mikon and tag it with wds07. Mikons.com has its own editor, or you can even upload an EPS.
Submit as many as you like, in fact I think the best ones will be those that cover off a set of options, such as “carnivore or vegetarian”. Go here for Mikon ideas.
Just make sure you have the “share” option on the Mikon clicked.
And make sure you do it before midnight on Monday September 3.
The best 50 Mikons will be printed on a sticker set to go in the Web Directions South satchels for everyone to use on their name badges. Just like these ones from SXSW earlier this year:
The winners will also get a Mikons t shirt. How cool is that?
Hop to it now: remember, entries close Monday September 3.
Great reading, every weekend.
We round up the best writing about the web and send it your way each Friday.
