Hi all, Hope you are having a wonderful summer and have enjoyed some time of relaxation. We are in the early stages of designing and printing the posters and postcards for The Way We Worked and we want to get some quick feedback about posters and postcards. We are considering a horizontal poster for The Way We Worked that may be about 15" tall x 22" wide. As you know we design them in such a way as to leave space for the host communities to overprint their names and exhibition dates on the poster. Council names and logos are on the posters, too. * Is this size about right, or should the posters be smaller? * Do your host towns use clear labels to put their info on the posters or do they go to a printer and have them done? * Is 50 posters per town about right? Or is that too many? * Do you think your venues find the posters useful? Or should we change them in some way? For the postcards, we are considering changing things up a bit and making them a little larger, 5" x 7" rather than 4" x 6"-and using 6 images rather than 10 images. This will give the host communities more space to print their program schedule or other info that they want to put on the postcards. * How popular are the postcards? * How are the postcards used in your states? * Currently we print enough for each town to get 500 postcards. Is that a good number? * On the back of each postcard, we currently include a statement like, "Brought to you by the XXX Humanities Council." It would save MoMS a ton of money if we didn't customize the postcards. How important is it to keep that phrase on them? We would appreciate your responses to these questions. It will help us plan appropriately and spend MoMS money wisely. All the best, Carol Carol G. Harsh Director, Museum on Main Street Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service P.O.
