A number of things

1) So 'Timeout' hasn't got back to me.

2) Called TFL. After a few transfers, I was put through customer service and spoke to Aggi. She was really excited (but that does not say anything about what the managers will think). She told me that if i wanted to do something like that I would have to email TFL through their feed back form on the website. So I have done that. I asked her how long TFL will spend on a project like this. She said she didn’t know. Just have to wait and see how that goes.

Meanwhile…
3) Because I’m not too confident of the above 2, I have been thinking of other ways to get the information that I have found out there. My first idea is to print big posters and display them in libraries in London.
(these are just mock-ups and the colours have gone funny. I dont know why cos they are RGB)


4) Second idea is that it will be a piece of Direct Mail, to go straight into the letter box of the public. This could actually just be a smaller version of the posters but with more information.

5) Create a website of my discovered London. This website will be interactive whereby the public could add to it. For example if there is a place that means a lot to someone but is not on the site then the person could send a photograph of it. This website will also encourage people to comment on any of the places that are on the site. I will be using the programme ASP.net or PHP for this site to allow people to upload their images. I have started the pages of the website; however I need advice as to which of the 2 ideas I should really go for.

Hey there sis, blogs looking wicked! Something you should check out - Banksy Locations and Tours, a walkthough tour book to the best Banksy and graffiti in London.

Thankx bro. That book only cost £7 (fantastic).
I do love Bansky graffiti, I've collected quite a few Banksy stuff (not just for this project) so that should add to my collection

Ivy, since I have come out of my hermit box and had a look at your stuff, I am sooooo impressed! You've really immersed yourself in this project and really looks as if your enjoying yourself and the 'hand on' experience. Keep with it...and remember...when all else fails, turn OFF the flash!
