Tell A Lie: Engagement

In order to identify if the posters have been successful we pared them with a sign up sheet in order to identify those interested, this also meant we could contact them to inform them that the workshop wasn't real and was part of a course brief. We posted a number of posters/sign up sheets around university (see figures 1-2) in common areas such as by the water fountains and inside the canteen. Over two days we got a number of sign ups, more people may have signed up if the posters where up longer as we heard a number of students talking. Furthermore a lot of students became aware of potentially fake poster being put up as part of this brief which may have also limited responses as people where more cautious than normal. However overall the posters where a success and allowed us to tell a lie convincingly, upon reflection other ideas may have been more successful such as free print tokens as that requires a faster reaction from students.
