Here's how it works:
The Midwest Module is a social design experiment intended to connect Twin Cities inhabitants. The experiment is open to anyone regardless of where you are. The idea started in Minneapolis but can evolve to where ever you take your adventures. Participants are asked to collect designed collateral (ie posters, menus, flyers, newspapers, local advertisements, anything!) and record their experiences with the design. Some "experiences" could be that you liked the poster so you took it with you, while other designs may inspire you to attend the event, or go to the place. Use the blog to upload pictures, scans of the designs, tell your story, and rate your experience. Connect with your friends and get out of your house to find new locations and adventures.
Pick at least 3 questions to answer:
1) rate the design of the flyer/poster/ticket/whatever you have.
2) rate your experience.
3) tell your story about the experience
4) would you go to this place again?
5) do your pictures/ticket stubs etc capture how you felt about the experience?

"Due Date"
UW-Stout makes a big effort to encourage "non alcohol related activities" on the weekends for students that choose not to participate in the common interest of going to bars and house parties. One night, my two friends and I didn't really feel like sacrificing all of our cash to drunken shenanigans and killer next-day headaches, so we decided to go watch the movie BDP (Blue Devil Productions) was playing this weekend. The event was advertised in various places around campus via posters such as this one. I think the design is overall very appealing to students, usually people steal them around campus and hang them up in their room because BDP posters are so well done.
The event was held in "Applied Arts 210" which is the biggest lecture hall on campus. I think it can fit 200 people if I am remembering correctly. I only got one picture. In my 3.5 years at Stout, this is the first on-campus movie I have attended. There were a lot more people there than I expected! Also, the movie was pretty funny. More funny than The Hangover in my opinion. The best part about it was that it was free to students and the public.
