All hail Clare Noonan, plus we're nearly there

With little time for humbleness we wish to express our loud proud thanks to Clare for creating, polishing and perfecting such an amazing series of print-ready files! Thank you CN! What a feat! Thanks also Marnie and Liz for your collaborative elan in this process!

Hell, a website image, map and six completed street-ready works, we're phenomenal! Now is the time to digital hug within a shroud of mystery, though only appearing so on the outside, for inside we are comfortably dressed, caffeinated and forward-organised so as to support each other for phase 2.0 of file prep. Clare, please let us know how you are and any practical/moral support we can give you at any point! LOVE!!!

First, fancy lettuce recap our achievements to date!

Next phase of file prep and delivery: AKA 6 down, 3 to go

We are pushing ourselves this week for file prep so lets stay heartened, organised and streamlined as much as possible... we can do it. Sunday deadline? for three outstanding posters, though we need to discuss/recap our options on the Bollards me thinks.

To do:


1. Physics Room stairwell poster, latest woahnder by MS (looking dapper!) Due Tues/Wed 


2. Bollard 1/Currently behind fence - poster, collage of mag covers (do we do this?) Due Mon/Tues



The fence means pedestrians won't be able to look at it, so visibility will just be from cars/buses/horses. There doesn't seem to be much point going ahead with this bollard in my opinion. Plus we are also over budget...

However, discussing this a bit with Liz earlier, the magazine cover is a key aspect of our concept/media landscape so if we don't go with this work here as planned, perhaps we find an alternative way of sharing this work, and or the mag covers developed for it.

Liz suggested a Facebook or Instagram or blog release of the magazine covers, a kind of time-release collage, multi-dimensional cover launch. I like it! Let's ponder. Alternately we find another physical location to mount it?

I'll do a post after this one that gathers the source magazine covers for this image as well as the other options we posted so that we can get a sense of scope/options/mockup requirements.

This poster will require the most effort/time/organisation so just getting the pixels rolling.

3. Bollard 2/Margaret Mahy park - poster - Due Mon/Tues 

'FAQ, a reality...', latest mock-up by MS (we can't do a ring around this bollard as planned, as it's is too popular, so we go for single A1 poster?)



The above version (without the clocks)

Let's shoot the breeze over our options, share our availability over the next days and consolidate an extremely sensible plan (et) of activity.

  2. Hi Stunts,
    Was going to do a post that gathers the source magazine covers for the mag cover collage image (Bollard 1) as well as the other mag cover options we posted so that we can get a sense of scope/options/mockup requirements - but need to head into town so will do this when I get home tonight probably 10 or 11pm xxxR

  3. Hey Rachel. Yip, indeed time to regroup and breath a little! The mag cover poster..... I am in two minds about this one. Part of me thinks that a colourful big poster on an otherwise unused bollard has a lot of potential in terms of a time space continuum intervention. For people who drive their cars past everyday, to people who walk by on their way somewhere. And I am thinking that maybe this ta da! effect will give the poster focus and even encourage a closer look, potentially more than a functional bollard that the public are used to seeing change a lot. On the other hand, you are totally on point with it's labour intensiveness. Which is why I suggested in a pervious post (in which I gathered all the mag cover material we had made) that we consider making a mix of things that we have already published before, and maybe one or two covers from our new material. That way Clare is preparing one or two files from scratch and the using those and other published material. Mmmmm. Thoughts?
