Charity Social gets underway!

Oh my gosh, what a hectic week.

Patricia's Leprosy Mission Charity Social planning is going full-blast! We've managed to secure a  banquet hall (The Royal Canadian Legion Hall) for the event (to be held on May 22nd!) and I've been ordered to roll out the tickets and flyers. :)

Luckily, I've already had the tickets designed a couple weeks ago, but my weekend was dedicated to the flyers! In the spirit of spring, I've come up with two designs: one blue/green portrait-oriented flyer and a red landscape flyer. Blue/Green for Spring and Red for the colour of our campaign! I'm actually quite proud with what came out--I even have a slogan for them! "Celebrate spring by spreading the cure!" I'm sure Hulme would be proud of the alliteration there.

Here are some shots of the flyers as of now:

Flyer One -  Blue/Green for Spring! The carnation (originally red) was chosen as the logo of this campaign because it symbolizes Charity.

Flyer Two - Red to match the ticket. Fonts, etc. were all chosen to match the ticket.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty productive weekend. :)

Oh, and speaking of Hulme--our last English class before the break was a hoot! In the spirit of April Fool's Day, we staged a legendary, and very Gifted, surprise for the teachers that came by. With Patricia and Christina at the door to convince Mr. Hulme to stay outside the classroom as long as possible, the rest of the class worked to upturn ALL the desks!


Our Classroom - We turned the tables on Mr. Hulme with the chair backs resting on the floor and the desk balanced precariously sideways. Then, we had everyone sit in them that way! (Disregard Saravanan. He was being a sourpuss. Also take note of Cate taking pictures and UkeBilly/Basshew providing entertainment.)

Mr. Hulme sent Mr. Fenty to check on us (and what a surprise he got!), and when he came back to class, he was so amused that he left again to bring back the drama teachers to see! Ms. Barnes commented that our class was much more interesting than her English class.

Christina, Chris, and Patricia - Bugs on a wall...

The next twenty minutes was spent delaying our Media Issues presentations by taking very trippy pictures of everyone sideways. We looked like butterflies pinned to a wall!

Colin - Hard at work...or is he?

It was one of those days when "Gifted" was more blessing than curse.

I want to volunteer with ticket taking or something of the sort at the social~ the flyers look NICE, and I've already seen the ticket - are they going to be in colour? Very pro.
Also, April Fools would've been so much better if gravity didn't exist xD the pictures would've looked more ~natural~... but then I suppose it wouldn't be much of a prank.

okay so I need to stop reading your blog and do something productive xD byebye.
