Unit X Promotion

After speaking to Julie and Nichola earlier in the week, we were reminded of the importance of advertisement- after all we wanted to showcase our work to as many people as possible. The two ideas that we decided upon were a Facebook event and posters. I created the 'Dress the City' event, and was able to add all of the group members- meaning that we were able to invite our individual friends/ family into the group. We had a great response to the event, with many people accepting the invitation. 



As well as this, Nicole created a batch of smart looking posters, for us to pin around the Northern Quarter, and in the School of Art- this way allowing like-minded artistic people to have the opportunity to join in with our celebrations. We gave some copies to the Bay Horse, so that they were able to put them into the window- advertising the event. As our group name suggests, we did rebel in some of the places we stuck the posters- in folders, over door handles and continually across several lockers- this way people would take interest, and hopefully engage. 



Now that these two methods of communication- as well as word of mouth- have been initiated, all we can do is wait and see what impact this has had to the event.
