\"\"<\/a>#iPPP2Day08<\/strong> Create some calm (or some other emotion) today using the Keep Calm<\/a> app. (It’s FREE). You might want to experiment with a photo background to complement the text.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Be sure to get the version of the app released by Barter Books<\/strong>. (linked above) Read below the pic for the full story, including a great new video story.<\/p>\n

Here is my “Keep Calm” poster sample for today. I discovered after the fact that you can swipe the crown icon at the top to switch to a wide variety of fairly “British” icons, but there’s no way to insert your own. I’ll be revisiting this poster with a photo editor to substitute in the 105theHive.org logo.<\/p>\n

You are likely familiar with the “Keep Calm and Carry On” meme that originated with the finding of a WWII-era poster? Up until today, the entry on the keepcalm-o-matic<\/a> website, together with the Wikipedia entry<\/a>, had been my primary source of information on the story. The website houses the poster generator which I used in the past for my Canadian variant, “Keep Calm and Paddle a Canoe<\/a>” poster.<\/p>\n

However, this morning the Twitter stream delivered a link to a wonderful video, The Story of Keep Calm and Carry On<\/strong>, recently added to YouTube. The video tells the story of the booksellers who found and subsequently shared the poster, and gives a wonderful glimpse into the character of their beautiful store.<\/p>\n
