Campaigning

Sometimes I'm just clever enough to incorporate "cutting parties" (not that kind) at work.

With a departing president and a senior class that (smartly) decided to raise money for a scholarship in his honor, a new kind of craft was suddenly on the horizon: stickers! These could have been made into fantastic buttons, but these were cheaper and faster to make, and I needed cheap and fast in order to get the seniors to wear them at various events last weekend (at which said president would be present).
Sticker creation is not part of my job description per se, but it is implied when it comes to generating excitement for student giving. I got REALLY excited about this sticker, especially because, being the low-tech employee I am, I had nothing but MS Publisher and Paint - yes, Paint - to create these. Bring it, WordArt! And, once printed, I found this to be a perfect opportunity to purchase a circle cutter.

As you can see, I went with a political campaign look, because there's no easier way to make someone look iconic than to remove his/her neck and/or body to leave a simple floating head, along with some key text above and below.

See the inspiration?
