All New Ajira Airlines Edition
Posted by Jon Griffith in News and Information, Product Releases on January 26th, 2010
In addition to the FREE version, and the Premium Edition, I have just created and posted the Ajira Airlines version of the Lost Boarding Pass Invitation which you can get to from the Products Page.
There’s also a new modification of the Premium Edition that allows you to replace Hurley’s photo with a photo of your guest, or a photo of the host, or anything you want. Just make sure the layer you add to the graphic is 190 X 190 pixels in size to fit the frame of the design.
Have you already customized your invitation? I’d love to see what you’ve done. I’ll even showcase it on the site and point back to your blog or website!
Updated Boarding Pass in Photoshop Format
Posted by Jon Griffith in News and Information on January 12th, 2010
A special thanks goes out to Courtney Contey of Adirondack Dream Homes who recently purchased the Premium Boarding Pass and tipped me off to an inherent design flaw.
The boarding pass was designed using Fireworks 8 from the Macromedia Studio 8 Suite which is severely outdated, yet usually compatible with some of the free graphic editors out there. When Courtney called me to ask me how to edit the layers so she could put the right name on the invitation, I mentioned that she needed to know how to edit graphics with layers, and that she needed software that could do so. She downloaded the widely popular GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is a free image editing package to find that the graphic wouldn’t open in multiple-layers. I tried as well, and it just wouldn’t work for me, but I’m an inexperienced GIMP user, so perhaps I’m missing something.
I’m sure this must have been quite frustrating for her. Through a connection at work, she was able to open the file in Photoshop, but not everyone has Photoshop, and my goal is to make this as easy as I can within my own skill set (i’m not a programmer, I’m a visual guy) and to not have it cost you a fortune.
Solution
I poked around for a few minutes and figured out that I could in fact save the PNG file straight out of Fireworks in Photoshop format (*.PSD.) So that’s what I’ve done.
If in the past you downloaded the free version and were unable to manipulate it due to file compatibility constraints, I have re-placed the original with a new Photoshop version.

LOST on ABC Season 4 Poetry Party

For the season 4 finale, we decided to put together some poems which I captured using a really horrible Palm Treo video camera.
Here is the resulting set of videos, broken into two parts:
Free Custom Boarding Pass Invitation
Posted by Jon Griffith in News and Information on August 22nd, 2009
Introduction
This FREE Boarding Pass Invitation is a custom designed image created in Macromedia Fireworks Studio 8. It was designed to look and feel just like a real boarding pass and looks quite authentic when customized and printed, especially when printed on card-stock. It was recently converted to Photoshop format.
Theme and Features
The entire boarding pass was designed to correspond with various themes from the hit TV show LOST on ABC.
From flight number, to the mysterious hatch numbers, and the travel route, LOST was the focus. When you download this free boarding pass, you are downloading the LOST Boarding pass as is, with “Lost Guest” as the recipient. Simply print and send to someone for this year’s season premiere party.
When you purchase the Premium Edition for only $4.95, you will have full access to all of the available editable layers of the original graphic which will allow you to change enough elements to theme your boarding pass on a completely different premise, and you have unlimited use of the image provided you do not resell it.
Please note, a firm understanding of photo editing software is required in order to make custom design changes to the Premium Version.
