Gerald/Gerard

I was thinking of a good place for my anaglyph vote poster to live, and I eventually stuck it on the metal traffic box (technical term) at the corner of Pickens and Greene Street. As I stuck it on, I heard a Keanu Reeves-esque voice behind me exclaim, "Dude, nice poster!" To which I shamelessly took credit. Sorry AIGA.


I find that this is one of the busiest places to walk through when school's in session, because students are willing to turn into roadkill if/when that Dodge Durango's a little too late to slam the brakes. Also, eye-level real estate was minimal, and I wanted to stick with that place, so I used cheapo duct tape and slapped it on as high as it'd fit without tearing down the posters of lame bands. I wish that it was placed a little higher, but now it pertains to the hobbit community...with 3-D specs.

Katie A.- Poster day 1-3

My poster's new home is on a light post in front of the Wachovia in five points. I feel like this is a pretty high traffic area. It is directly across from the new fountain that was built at the Blossom street intersection. After two whole days it is still there. Between the city clean up crew that comes through every morning and the multitudes of drunk kids that wander past there every night, I'm surprised it is still there.  Today is the third day and it has been raining a lot. I semi-laminated it by super taping it. Hopefully it can withstand the rain a little! We'll see first thing tomorrow morning...

CheyAnna:Day 2: All Gone




Well, not even 24 hours after I put up my poster, someone came along and snagged it. I've come to the conclusion that: a) someone really liked it, b) someone hated it and threw it away, or c) things just aren't allowed to be put up here. Notice in the bottom picture that there isn't any other printed materials posted except for the USC regulations blah blah. However, at other shuttle stops there is a ton of stuff thrown up so who knows. Since my poster has run off I am going to put another one up somewhere else and post that one up on the blog soon. I just have to think of a better spot I guess :)

karmen-Day 1



i've been trying to decide where i wanted to put my poster for a long time. so last night i went to sonic for dinner and happened to have my poster with me. it seemed to be the perfect place for it because, after all, who doesn't go to sonic? a car hop came up to me right after i taped it up and i thought she was going to take it down right then and there. luckily she just told me she really liked the poster and that it was a good idea to put it there. it'll be interesting to see how long it lasts!

I wanted to place my poster in a place that was very noticeable to the public because I thought the message was pretty simple, bold and straight-forward.  So, I taped it to a light pole at the intersection of Assembly St. and College St. I wasn't sure if this was legal or not so we'll have to see how long it stays up.

CheyAnna: Day 1




Day 1:


I put my poster up at the shuttle stop on Barnwell. I wanted to post it somewhere that I knew I went often so I could keep track of it. With it being up at the bus stop that I go to a few times a day, I can observe people reading it and see their reactions.

KEVIN


I posted my poster in the window at Papa Jazz, prime location for reaching the blurred vision of beer-filled bar stumblers across Columbia, who are all generally at least 16 years old, depending on what bar you're coming from. Either way, I knew it would not get stolen because its taped inside and seeing as how it attracts those 18 or older, I thought 5 points was a nice home for it.
