MSP Flag Meeting

Hi!

The flag group met up last night-- here's a quick recap for anyone who was unable to come:

+ FINAL DESIGN DECIDED:
Minneapolis Flag on one side, St. Paul on the other. 100% True to original design (This means for screen prints that the St. Paul flag will be three Layers and the Minneapolis flag will be two)

+ MATERIALS & SIZE FINALIZED:
We will use both fabric and paper. Whatever white or off-white fabric we can get will be used for medium-large flags. Possibly one very large flag will be made using nylon flag material. Paper can be used for smaller sized flags such as business cards.
Also suggested was the idea of a poster of business cards that would be perforated so you could take them!

+ FUN STUFF ADDED:
The flags given out (not the smaller ones we will place & put up on our own) will be nicely packaged with a pamphlet explaining the flag, it's history & symbolism, how to hang it, etc.

+ START!
Paper is easy enough to get but we need to wait to get our fabric before we can screen print. We should have be able ot pick up some fabric this weekend, so the following weekend we will begin printing & manufacturing!

  1. Have you considered placing the business card size flags on the pre-formatted business cards. The companies that let you place your designs on their business cards for free as long as they have their web address included. I am doing a project at the moment and I am considering using these products. I believe you obtain 250 business cards. I am also looking into using stickers as well.
