Interactive Ideas

I am currently trying to think up ideas of ways a poster can be interactive. These are a few I have thought about;



I've thought about maybe having my posters in digital form with a few simple 'paint' tools for the viewer to use and interact with the posters by altering them/adding their own parts, words and views.



Another idea I have had is to have the posters on a metal background and have a trough filled with magnetic letters for people to add their own slogans e.t.c. to the posters.




Another idea I have had is to create a piece of work in Flash, which would look like a page with music files on, which you can click and 'open the song' in Windows Media Player. When the song opens, instead of the usual WMP visuals, it is a sequence of my poster designs which relate to the song being played.

Posters of the interactive kind

Considering my course is of the title 'Interactive Arts' and that people interacting with a poster using their brain through viewing and thinking isn't considered "interactive" due to it not being 'digital', I have decided to look at a few different types of posters that are 'digital' and others that may or may not be considered "interactive" as they're not 'digital'.



This is an Interactive poster made for 'Pepsi'. It has a slot to enter the jack of your headphones so you can listen to music. If you like the music, the poster informs you that you can buy bottles of Pepsi and use a PIN code on the label to redeem it for the song or any other song of your choice on their website.



This is less of a poster and more of a vending machine. It is called a 'Bluevend' as it is a Bluetooth vending machine.'Bluevend' is a vending machine which stores content for mobile phones which people can purchase.




Again, these are not posters, but are vending machines and another way of interacting through art. Art-O-Mat vending machines are old cigerette machines converted into vending machine which contain small pieces of artwork which you can take away with you.





These posters are interactive in the sense they're telling the audience something they have to think about. The poster is also interactive because of the space left for people to write on and express their own views.







These are Gum Targets. These are posters which are situated around towns and cities to attempt to reduce the amount of chewing gum which gets dropped on the floor instead of a bin, by encouraging people to stick their gum to the poster instead. The posters are interactive in the sense that they ask a question to the viewer and ask them make a decision by getting them to stick their gum in the answer of their choice.




These are also gum targets, but ones from Australia which interact with people by making it a piece of colour-coded artwork.



This is a video of an interactive poster by Google Videos; It is interactive in the sense that people can use it for their own uses.



This is a video of an interactive poster by Grolsch; It is interactive in the sense that people have to touch it and move a part of it to see it.



This is a video of an interactive piece by Ikea; It is interactive in the sense that when you touch it, the object moves.



Here is another video of an interactive advert which people can touch and see things move.
