Advertising with Postcards and E-vites

This is part shameless advertising, part good advice.

At Sheridan our annual glass show in the gallery is coming up, and the third years always have to design an image to go on the postcard/e-vite. I think this year we did spectacularly well compared to past years, but to be honest I have only seen a couple of old postcards.

Rather than an image of somebody's work (or slices of everybody's work so there's no fighting) we all agreed to do an edited picture of our digitry.

Personally I think this is more eye-catching than a picture of art because it's out of the ordinary, especially in a wing that's filled with nothing but art!

Do you have any interesting ideas for business cards or postcards for yourself? Do you think it's okay to represent a diverse show (40 students and faculty), with one piece of art?

Help An Artist Keep His Eyesight! - Andrew Tarrant

http://www.indiegogo.com/TrespassersEye?c=home

I love websites like indiegogo and kickstarter. I think it's amazing that people have created spaces where others can petition for donations (or 'crowdfunding'). What I usually see has been for research and project development, but this campaign is a little different!

24/25 of these mugs have already been claimed. I really want one too!

Andrew Tarrant is going blind, which would be devastating enough on it's own, but he's also an artist, which is even more terrifying. His donation program is running for another 108 days, in which time he needs to raise another $7780, and he's offering some pretty cool things to those who donate.

Another mug up for grabs!

If you are broke, lazy, or iffy about donating money, you can still lend a helpful hand by sharing his campaign page on one of your social networks! It's not that hard, and you know it would feel great to know that one copy and paste could be enough to help save a fellow artist's sight!
