Approach 1-NicholeO

Here we show a bit of the true spirit of life at Umaine. This is a satirical piece made to poke fun at different aspects of campus life that students may not think about. It’s important to step back and look at our surroundings and lifestyle and be able to laugh at the things that are odd, or frustrating. I wanted to created a more lighthearted approach that addresses some problems on campus, along with aspects that are made up, but wouldn’t be put past Umaine to actually do.

So this is a short series of what the Umaine Newsletter, and some merchandise and advertisement would be like if they were as satirical as I am.

This was originally a project focused on the Bookstore Buyback, which my group in lab (Rob, and Annie) came up with. However I wasn’t in love with the idea, and become inspired by a past students work (the fake poster lookalikes) and the Yes Men “Good News” newspaper.

The budget for a project like this would be fairly cheap, or expensive depending on how many printings of each piece would be make. Any money involved would be spend on printing, and possibly hiring people to disperse the material around campus.
