One of the highlights of the assignment thus far has been the ‘spoon a rat’ poster that was graffitied in one of the building 9 toilets. When planning the campaign we hoped that people would take it upon themselves to deface some of the posters allowing for dialogue between audiences, ACTIV and Jeff.
From this poster we learnt that the best place to put up posters is in a male toilet cubicle. It’s almost a guarantee it will be graffitied. In initial planning we wanted to create posters that were quite ‘inviting’ to graffiti but never did we foresee ‘spoon a rat.’ The only other poster to receive some fan art was the “Wake Up Jeff Poster” (inherently hilarious, I know) that soon became “Toke Up Jeff.” Sadly this poster didn’t have amazing artwork in the abundance of white space we left on the posters but beggars can’t be choosers.
Funnily enough this poster was in the cubicle next to the ‘spoon a rat’ poster.
Could there be a repeat offender?
Photos of these posters were then posted on ACTIV’s twitter and blog with words of encouragement. This was done to perpetuate the idea that ACTIV has an incredibly large number of members and that the backlash to Jeff’s campaign was widespread.
