But to start a bit earlier on...
GetReal kicked off on .. and we were instantly caught in a whirlwind of media attention. We seemed to have judged the collective mood well that the mainstream was developing an interest in plastic bags and our first campaign nailed the issue.
We quickly decided to amp up the campaign a bit and decided we needed a stronger analogue team to compliment the digital one. My part of the project was to provide Angus with a prop that gave him some street presence as he signed people up.
This version has an internal desk, hanging shelf inside and a display board that props the lid open. I wanted to lie it down and have it work as an emergency activist sleeping shelter but Angus wasn't that keen :-)
I also sorted out a laptop charging system using some gel cells from Wastebusters but in practice having people squint at a laptop in the street doesn't work. Bring on ePaper..
