New TheSite.org postcards now available
It's always exciting when the boxes arrive. Even when you've been working on a campaign for months, even when you know the graphic design of a piece of collateral intimately, even if you can recite the copy word-for-word, there's nothing like opening up that first box of postcards and holding that finished product in your hands.
Last week, we had our first delivery of the new TheSite.org postcards, designed by the lovely people at Point Blank Collective. Here's the front of four of them:
Chat-up lines may not be the best way to get a relationship started (refer to TheSite.org for more advice on that one), but they make us laugh and we think they're great for any sort of social setting.
If you're from a college, youth group or similar and would like some of these postcards to display in areas where 16 to 24-year-olds hang out, you can now order them through our online form.
The postcards have also started appearing in postcard racks in student unions and cafes around the country, as well as other venues here in London. They'll also be accompanying us to the Regional Skills events in Newcastle (30 September – 1 October) and Sheffield (8 – 9 October). If you spot one, pick it up and use it to enter our fantastic competition. There's a Sumo bean bag up for grabs for the winning entry.
We'll also soon be launching matching banner ads. They're just getting their final design tweaked, before being delivered - amongst similar levels of excitement - into our inboxes. I'll let you know when they arrive.
