Off Hours

Campaign

Community event / 2024 / Launch Campaign

The work

A clock with the hands removed. Time is the street, not a VIP list. The poster is a timetable you can stand in front of.

Brief

The street closes for two days of food stalls, a small stage, and a kids table. Organizers needed print that volunteers could put up on Friday and strip on Sunday.

They did not want a beer-brand look. They wanted a public notice with a pulse.

  • Audience and constraint

    A one-weekend street close needed posters that could be wheatpasted, then pulled, without looking like a nightclub ad.

  • Subject

    Community event

Idea

Remove the hands from a clock face. The hours are the programme blocks. Type is the running order, not a slogan over a photograph.

Lime fill is for the sash and the arrows. Posters stay paper and dense ink so they still read when half-covered.

Applications

A3 for walls, A6 for hands, a sash for people who can answer questions. Arrows point to toilets and the stage, not to a sponsor.
