2nd project

Ok so my scanner is acting up and I couldn't post a picture, but what I plan to do is make stickers with one of the post cards from my first project on it. It'll be called "The Lima Bean Aftermath" to advertise a blog with all of the postcards and responses from the first project. I'm holding off on doing this advertising though until I receive more responses. I've gotten 2 so far. The first one I got was a rubber glove on which she had traced her hand wrinkles, and inside was a bunch of folded papers with drawings and writing. The second was two scenic photographs of Colorado. I'm gonna start harassing people to send me their responses so I can get going with the second and third parts of the project.

2nd Project: Flyers and YouTube

For our second assignment, I created 12 diferent flyers. Each flyer contained stills from videos of mine, as well as a link to direct the viewer to the videos in wich the images came from. I printed about 25 of each of the 12 different flyers. I distributed flyers to students' mailboxes (Massart, Simmons, Northeastern and Berklee). I also slipped theminto the mailboxes in my apartment building. I also plan to bring some flyers back home with me in Western Mass while I am home on Thanksgiving break. I figure I can find a few places to distribute those while I am there.

I have yet to receive much feedback from people on my youtube page (where my videos are), other than some from people I already knew. However, the counted views of my page and videos has slightly increased, since distrubting the flyers this past weekend/week. I plan on monitoring the views regularly and will definelty keep you all updated!!

Hey everyone-

Thanks for your feedback on the FWD:DVD project. I'm now thinking of a way to incorporate this into an online version that's different than just forwarding it to people, posting the video, etc.

Here's some documentation:

show & tell: round two

As you did for your first projects, share with us an image and a little blurb about your second, mass mediated projects. Also let us know how you plan to distribute your ephemera, by mail, in person, as a performance piece, etc.
