Commission outlines poster design, photography and reuse for walking tour
Summary
Commissioners discussed hiring a professional photographer to capture roughly six International Style homes, poster dimensions and the plan to host digital layouts on the commission website for reuse in a walking tour and future landmarks book updates.
Commission members talked through the intended look and reuse of images for the Dane Arts poster project and related local outreach. The Chair proposed photographing about six International Style homes and hiring a professional to produce images suitable both for a poster and for presentation to property owners; she said some owners would be offered printed images as a goodwill gesture, though permission would be sought.
Members discussed poster layout and size: examples shown were roughly two feet by three feet, and the Chair suggested a smaller 2-by-2 format could reduce printing costs. The Chair suggested keeping a digital, print-ready file on the commission’s website so residents could download and print copies themselves. "We could leave that on our website," the Chair said when describing the digital option.
The group also discussed reuse of the photographs for a walking tour and for a future update to the landmarks book. Commission members suggested a small print run for distribution to municipal facilities, with the possibility of selling copies or offering them free on request, depending on costs and demand.
