Has anyone else seen THE THING?
THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors (Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped by the editors and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.
Sounds intriguing...
For the Greenway promotional piece, a major consideration is how the final piece will be distributed and mailed. There are many specifications regarding what and how things can be mailed. The Addressing and Mailing Dept. at the University is a great resource for information surrounding these issues, including size and format regulations:

Please make a note of the following critique days:
March 11: In-process critique of series
March 13: In-process critique of Greenway promotional piece
There is no need to mount these pieces; we will post them up on the bulletin boards in class to save on resources.
