8ball :

Traditional white birthday cakes are pretty boring by themselves. Scoop a little ice cream onto the plate and I'll perk up a bit. But, hey baby, bring a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake to the party and I'll be the first one in line with a plastic fork. This 4500-unit ice cream chain stacks several varieties of pre-made ice cream cakes in its freezer, but I've discovered the most popular version, over and over again, is the one made from white cake with pralines and cream ice cream on top. So that's got to be the version we clone here. But don't think you're locked into this formula - you can use any flavor of cake and ice cream you fancy for your homemade masterpiece. Just be sure the ice cream you choose comes in a box. It should be rectangular shape so that the ice cream layer stacks up right. Then you'll want to find a real sharp serrated knife to cut the ice cream in half while it's in the box. And check this out: That white stuff that coats the cake is actually softened ice cream spread on a thin layer like frosting, and then re-frozen. After it sets up, you can decorate the cake any way you like with pre-made frosting in whatever color suits your festive occasion. Voilà! You've just made an ice cream cake at home that looks and tastes like those in the stores that costs around 35 buck each. Cake 1 box white cake mix 1 1/4 cups water 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3 egg whites 1/2-gallon box pralines and cream ice cream 4 cups (2 pints) vanilla ice cream 1 12-ounce container white frosting Optional colored frosting A sharp bread knife makes box slicing easy Ice cream on top of the cake, and all the trimming 1. Make your cake following the directions on the box. If you are making the white cake you will likely blend the cake mix with water, oil, and 3 eggs. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. This will make a thin cake for our bottom layer. When cake is done, let it cool to room temperature. 2. When the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet, or a platter or tray that will fit into your freezer. 3. Use a sharp serrated knife (a bread knife works great) to slice the ice cream lengthwise through the middle, box and all, so that you have two 2-inch thick sheets of ice cream. Peel the cardboard off the ice cream and lay the halves next to each other on the cake. Slice the edges of the cake all the way around so that the cake is the same size as the ice cream on top. Work quickly so that the ice cream doesn't melt. When the cake has been trimmed, place it into the freezer for an hour or two. 4. When you are ready to frost the cake, take the two pints (4 cups) of vanilla ice cream out of the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to soften. Sitr the ice cream so that it is smooth, like frosting. Use a frosting knife or spatula to coat your cake with about 2 cups of ice cream. Cover the entire surface thoroughly so that you cannot see any of the cake or ice cream underneath. Pop the cake into the freezer for an hour or so to set up. 5. When the cake has set, fill a pastry bag (with a fancy tip) with white frosting to decorate all around the top edge of the cake. Also decorate around the bottom of the cake. Use colored frosting and different tips to add inspired artistic flair and writing on the cake, as needed. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and keep it in your freezer until party time. 6. When you are ready to serve the cake, leave it out for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the cake with a sharp knife that has been held under hot water. Makes 1 large cake (16 - 20 servings).

"alex, uve done nothing to dispell the myth that u are a self righteous, political correct,self imposed spokesman for a generation of ur own invention, that lives in some self important world of aesthetic perfection," Oh get off your fucking high horse you total prick. You are going on like a fucking 'I hate EVERYONE' nut job. So I am politically correct because I don't actually think that most people are total idiots? It's YOU that started with all the 'Hey Mabel! Look at the pretty colours!' crap. "that spends more time getting wound up about how he doesnt like a poster for a gig than actually going to it." 4 out of my last 7 evenings have been spent at gigs.....so your point is? "its a fucking poster, man." Yes it is. And I had already suggested that there was nothing more to say on the issue between you and I. It's not me that seems desperate to keep this going. "thea k'splaying at the hope n anchor on the 15th, u going or wot?" Unless someone invents a time machine I don't think I will be going.

Bottom line: this poster isn't very good and I really don't think that people would walk in from the street on the strength of it. You do think so. Let's just leave it at that eh? alex, uve done nothing to dispell the myth that u are a self righteous, political correct,self imposed spokesman for a generation of ur own invention, that lives in some self important world of aesthetic perfection, that spends more time getting wound up about how he doesnt like a poster for a gig than actually going to it. its a fucking poster, man. thea k'splaying at the hope n anchor on the 15th, u going or wot?

and furthermore alex, when i talk about peoples eye for quality, i dont mean that people are morons. i mean that theyd see a poster like this, and see it as good. just because you think its horrible it doesnt mean that someone else wouldnt. why do u think the poster was made like this? obviously thea thought it would work. is she a moron just cause she couldnt satisfy you with this poster? misanthrope indeed. gareth gates sells millions of albums dude, not necessarily bought by morons but by people who arent really that deep into the realms of musical history and artistic culture. this poster is an average everyday flyer for a gig, i doubt the quality of it really makes a whole lot of difference to who goes to it. its a poster, have a cuppa tea.

Steve H said - "how many decent posters have u seen in the UK the past few years?" Lots actually, but I guess I am in an area of the country where people care about these things. "something like this would be attractive to the average brit, wether they knew about the artist or not, theyd see a girl holding a guitar, theyd see the magical colours and all the time and effort that went into the alternative look, theyd think its only a fiver or 4.50 with the flyer, and have a think about going if theyre looking for something to do. they might even think they mightve seen thea on the telly once but arent quite sure. have u seen the charts lately?" That is such a misanthropic view of the british public - you are basically saying they are morons with no aethetic values who are easily dazzled by bright colours! Do you sit in a shack somewhere with copies of Guns And Ammo waiting for the day you are going to freak out Hungerford Style? "i think ur over estimating the mass' artistic merit and their eye for quality." I think you are underestimating....and it is very depressing to read.

jladret :

Generally I love photoshop. I use it every day, but unfortunatly filters are a curse, kind of like CGI to starwars. They kill more projects than they enhance. As far as critisism goes - take it. I've gotten shitty comments on some of my posters, and often times those who sound the most harsh turn around and are totally positive about a different design. It's rarely a personal attack. My opinion? Awful poster with no style and probably shouldn't have been submitted - especially if you didn't care what it looked like. Nothing personal. It just doesn't work.

i beg to differ. how many decent posters have u seen in the UK the past few years? to the majority of the public, they dont know a decent poster from a bad one, something like this would be attractive to the average brit, wether they knew about the artist or not, theyd see a girl holding a guitar, theyd see the magical colours and all the time and effort that went into the alternative look, theyd think its only a fiver or 4.50 with the flyer, and have a think about going if theyre looking for something to do. they might even think they mightve seen thea on the telly once but arent quite sure. have u seen the charts lately? i think ur over estimating the mass' artistic merit and their eye for quality.

Thee Alex :

Steve, you know as well as I do that people don't just go to gigs like that in the UK. If you are a gig-goer you will be checking out the posters, looking for either bands you know or attractive design. Casual 'walk in's aren't going to be generated by a dreadful poster (whoever has made it)

2004-09-03 03:03:39

Steve H :

Steve H says that people would be looking for the band, not the poster - well, as someone with no profile AT ALL in the UK Thea would be unlikely to be getting a lot of people going 'Gee, that's a shit poster but it's THEA K!! I MUST go to that gig!' oooh look mable, its a rock pop concert with a girl holding a guitar, look at those colours, it looks really professional that poster does, really good, im excited, LETS GO!

MaximumFluoride :

I have spent as much as 20 hours on a poster and as few as 20 minutes. The ones that I do in 20 minutes usualy get more attention than the ones I slave over. I will say that many of the posters that people drool over around here could be done by my 13 year old. My 13 could not do this as he has no grasp of photoshop at all. I gaurentee this took longer than 10 minutes even if it is all filters. I don't like this poster. It is not done in a style I generaly appreciate. Although I don't have any bias against Photoshop posters. Every single poster I have ever done has been largley handled in photoshop. I'd guess between Photoshop and Illustrator 95% of the posters on this site are computer generated at some level. The "hate" of computer generated posters holds no water.

2004-09-02 13:57:20

ShinyBlueRobot :

It would take me 10 minutes just to type out all that info. Then there is cropping and moving stuff around to decide on composition. Then comes the filters, colour decisions and such... if this was done in only 10 minutes, that's really fast. I would guess - good or bad, this poster took more than 10 minutes.

And also, let us not forget that the post that fired Thea up was (in FULL) - "Sorry to say this Thea, but you REALLY need to get someone else to design your posters." It was her that blasted back with - "but it still looks better than most of the chicken-scratch posters on Thee Moths poster page. "Gee, got magic marker, me make poster..." " (somewhat undermining her own "But don't just make nasty comments without qualifying them. " statement of earlier) Steve H says that people would be looking for the band, not the poster - well, as someone with no profile AT ALL in the UK Thea would be unlikely to be getting a lot of people going 'Gee, that's a shit poster but it's THEA K!! I MUST go to that gig!' If it was for Bowie or Madonna or even The Rasmus it wouldn't matter that the poster blows. As it is for someone who no-one knows of here it is very unlikely to have worked on any level. I am glad, however, that the poster points out that the doors are open between 7.30 and 12 on the Sunday the gig is on.....otherwise people might have turned up explecting the venue to be open for this gig on another day. :roll:

true, I think the whole guideline for submitting to this site is to submit a poster that was for an actual show. That's it...Which I'm sure this poster does. However, the quality of this poster in my eyes is lacking...I personally don't like it, and yeah, it looks like it took about ten minutes to make...that's what this comments section is for. If we took every poster on here and pointed out only the good qualities about it then it would be pointless...it would be just like the shitty art school I used to go to. constructive criticism that is...Simple comments like "this sucks", "eats shit", "give up" are pretty stupid, and yes, I'm guilty of leaving these comments as well.

Just noticed her guitar isn't plugged into anything - I guess that is the 'acoustic feel' part.

"Don't you have to be part of the elite to be an elitist?" oooh! buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn. That's me told by Maxflo then! Everytime this poster opens on my monitor my eyes want to die.

Brendan Jordan :

"Sorry to say this Thea, but you REALLY need to get someone else to design your posters." This seems like a polite, honest thing to tell a musician who seems to be struggling with her own promotional materials. I think you might have hit a sore point with her though. Perhaps she's been told it before.

Thee Alex :

Actually, scratch what I said about being diplomatic. I have just looked at this again and it is fucking grotesque. I don't care if that makes me 'elitest' or 'snobby'. This poster is terrible, the text has been (seemingly) randomly thrown at it, the image has been filtered to within an inch of its life and the whole thing hurts my eyes. If I saw this in the street I wouldn't go to the show (Thea K being unknown in the UK I wouldn't be looking out for one of her shows). Surely this poster fails on almost every level - it is artistically poor and would put me (and a lot of people I know) off going to the gig. Still, it appears SOME people like it....

"Well murphy, clearly the people who don't have the skills to make posters at that level or who don't care to, should be drug through the streets and beaten with sticks." Absolutely. nb. that was a J O K E Dale is right, bad posters get LOADS of comments whilst a lot of good ones go unnoticed. To be honest I am mostly positive about posters these days, something has to be truly awful for me to comment on it. Anyway, scroll back to the beginning of this and you will notice that my original comment wasn't THAT damning....it was Thea that started name calling and insults.

thing is, the more people post negative comments about posters they DON'T like looking at, the more they actually have to look at them. oh the sweet delicious irony...

Geezus Not EVERY fucking poster or flyer submitted to this site needs to be some grand high-concept masterpiece work of art. Some are just thrown together(gasp) to advertise a show, so get over it

MaximumFluoride :

Alex, I think the same thing about your posters as you feel about this one. I don't bash the shit out of them every time you post a new one though. Maybe I'll start.

Thee Alex :

Sorry, I was perhaps a little too harsh there. There are many many posters worse than this. Thing is most of the people who made them don't kick up a big sulk and claim to be 'artists' when there is a negative comment. Thea claims to be an 'artist' and I commented that an 'artist' should be ashamed of themselves if they thought this was creatively valid in any way. As a gig poster it is average, but if it is looked at as 'art' it is totally horrible. Still, as I said, I was a little harsh.

2004-09-01 13:41:39

Unitus :

"at the end of the day, any artist with a shred of dignity wouldn't have posted this abomination." comments like this really piss me off. first of all, some people LIKE shit like this. second, this is a poster ARCHIVE. the more legit posters submitted, the larger, more impressive the archive. not just the "good" posters, or the ones Thee Alex likes. but at the same time, Thea, you gotta realize that by submitting posters here, as long as there's a comment section, you'll get comments. good and bad. roll with it. a lot of folks react very negatively to photoshop shit like this.

2004-09-01 13:38:08

There are about 10,000 worse posters than this on here. If she was a cartoon and the type was hand-done and distressed, it would have been praised. Layout is OK.

Three Alex wrone:"At the end of the day, any artist with a shred of dignity wouldn't have posted this abomination." man, that sounded really harsh..

2004-09-01 13:23:09

Thee Alex :

Thea emailed me again with a big list of 'achievements'.....sadly the F A C T that the work available for us to see sucks massive amounts of ass undermines any 'qualifications' she may have as an artist. At the end of the day, any artist with a shred of dignity wouldn't have posted this abomination.

2004-09-01 13:18:16

dennyschmickle :

OK, that last comment was just rude of me. But on another note... Does it really make sense to offer a discount to people who tear down your flyer and bring it to the show, therefore limiting the exposure that said flyer was meant to generate?

I see you people have no lives but to hang out on this poster site all day and make comments. Seems like your all in cahoots together since you’ve made 10 comments in the last 1/2 hour. Did Alex call you all up to write about my poster? I love it, I’ve never had so many comments. Good or bad, it’s all good. Thanks for the attention! Gotta a life, gotta go. Bye!

"I made this poster in 10 minutes because I needed something in a hurry" - I just noticed that you travelled all the way from the US to play this show. I would have thought you would have wanted something substantially less awful for a show in a different country. I notice your website says you are a 'visual artist'.....I can only assume that 'visual artist' means something different where you come from. Perhaps 'visual' means 'piss' in Theaworld?

2004-09-01 11:25:26

I got a lovely email from Thea as well as her reply here. Seems she didn't like it up her.

Excessive use of photoshop filters: 4 minutes Poor typography and color palette: 3 minutes Crappy photo to establish 'acoustic feel, electric vibe': 3 minutes Using the 'I only had 10 minutes to design a poster' excuse to defend a shitty poster: timeless.

If you have something constructive to say about a poster, say it. But don't just make nasty comments without qualifying them. I made this poster in 10 minutes because I needed something in a hurry, but it still looks better than most of the chicken-scratch posters on Thee Moths poster page. "Gee, got magic marker, me make poster..."

2004-09-01 09:22:55

Thee Alex :

Sorry to say this Thea, but you REALLY need to get someone else to design your posters.
