posters
Making science hip. Found this on boingboing.net (be sure to check out the flickr photostream)
I’ve long believed that distinctive promotion for academic functions is key on campuses. I did graphic work for the English fest at UWEC. I had pulled old movie posters (like those for Vertigo, Casablanca, etc.) into photoshop and modified them to promote the fest (this was long ago, before such a tactic had become cliche). I got done with the posters, and I wanted to print them off poster-sized and in color, then get them up in every building. Of course, the budget for the fest didn’t allow this. Since then, I’ve always wanted a science-sized budget to promote my humanities events.
