Alternative to sticky-notes, part II
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009In the last post, we provided a link to Magnetic Pixels, who offers an alternative medium for Heavy Mural. They currently appear to only offer the “SUPERHERO” set, but this set has a pretty decent color palette. We’ve taken the time to grab the hex values of their color palette so you can more easily add them to your custom colors.
Top Row:
(hex value in bold, followed by count from image above)
f2ec8a x 25
d2c47b x 50
d09513 x 50
8d4c0c x 25
b3dddc x 50
5dbbba x 150
148ba3 x 125
145968 x 75
Bottom Row:
(hex value in bold, followed by count from image above)
f8beba x 50
f81822 x 175
ca0d2d x 150
740828 x 100
cccdcf x 100
9d9181 x 75
52575a x 75
201708 x 125
And remember, the Magnetic Pixel magnets are only 3/8″ square in size, as opposed to the 3″ square of standard sticky-notes. So, the conversion (I believe, but someone correct me if I am wrong) is to convert the dimensions Heavy Mural gives you into inches and then divide by 8. That should give you the size, in inches, of your mural using Magnetic Pixels.
Have fun.

Little square colored magnets.
I just saw a neat link on Gizmodo. They are small 10mm x 10mm magnetic colored squares. I’m not sure how you can buy the additional colors they seem so show on their site, it looks like you can only purchase the “superhero” kit from them currently.
The actual marketing page for this is frames based, so I can’t link directly to the informative pages here without you losing the site navigation. But here’s the general link: http://www.magneticpixels.com/. If you visit the “About” and “Online” links in the left navigation you’ll find most of the interestng info.
This would provide a very simple way to scale your mural down if you didn’t want a wall sized mural. As well as providing some potentially more interesting colors.
