Temporary Posters

Put some temporary posters up to see what happens mostly. I don't think that much will happen judging from the number of posters they are competing with and the fact that uni students are so used to A3 posters no one looks at them - also you can see from the photos they don't stand out so well - Some not at all! BUT this has been a valuable learning excercise - For the Real poster - I think i'll stick with black background cos it stands out against the white posters. Colour will stand out - especially pink I think. A bigger format makes a bigger impact - especially in this environment where everyone has access to making A3 posters.
As other promo methods i think I'll use the poster design to create small postcards, probably with a photocopier and then just drop them into cool shops eg. bookshops, cool clothes shops, brunswick street etc. Does anyone know if you have to ask the owners etc to do this kind of thing?
I'll also be sending out a little linked poster email ad to everyone I know. Remember: Spam is only evil if it's not from BlackHotPink!
