Comic Like the dinosaurs, our old paperwork system went extinct.
Signage Going with a theme of an archeological dig, we created an installation with caution signage to note the effects and hazards of digging through piles of receipts.
Advertisement for upcoming classes Real receipts were blown up 10x their size, printed and crumpled up. This helped make the installation work visually in the space. Their enormous size also made them look like prehistoric dinosaur receipts.
Lobby view of advertisement The installation was on display for one day in the main lobby of the department. The next morning, it came to my attention that the cleaning crew disposed of the pile. Talk about disturbing a historical dig site!
Electronic Receipts, MIT
Brief
MIT decided to simplify it's bookkeeping by introducing an Electronic Receipts system online. Before this, every receipt was collected by staff, photo copied and inter-office mailed to the Institute's financial center. Receipts tended to pile up, cause clutter and deliver headaches.
The system was a dinosaur and everyone knew it. Our Director asked if we could offer some comic relief. She asked if we could sum up the new system roll out with a cartoon. Not only did we do this, we took it further with some ironic hoopla.
