Communication is a Virus: Rules for Fools' Blog and Posters.





This afternoon, Yafet and I contributed efforts to make the Rules for Fools' design blog. This way, we could advertise our designs to a wider audience- not only to friends, family and fellow designers but anyone searching for innovative April Fools' practical jokes for the forth coming event.
Having the blog opens up our viewing and feedback potential- having advertised the blogsite through stickers attached to posters, which we spent the day distributing around the city...


Stickers I printed this morning- ready to be rolled onto poster tubes and pasted around the city.

Quick test before we leave- it seems the kick in the bum practical joke does work indeed...joke's on me...

...And our glamourous assistant, Yafet Bisrat- the human noticeboard.

I was really pleased with the distribution of our designs. We placed the posters in semi-noticeable areas, where people would spot them and hopefully gain some curiousity and therefore have the urge to go onto the blogspot address and find out more.

It was also really rewarding giving the designs away- a little aulturistic turn on our part, I sincerely hope that whoever finds these designs had a little brighter and happier day because of it.
