Brisbane Zombie Walk update

Time for an update on the Brisbane Zombie Walk! As expected it’s totally taking over my life as we really get into the swing of  things and everything’s going well so far. Thank god! The above poster was the first the mock up I did which I actually really, really love so will now be the actual poster. I haven’t lost my touch when it comes to design after all, it seems. The photo is from the walk in 2008 (the first one I organised) and was taken by my friend Terry (check out his site Soul Bridge Media, he’s such an awesome photographer!).

The biggest news though, is that we’ve finally launched the new website which allows people to register (which will help us gauge how many participants to anticipate this year) as well as make donations! This is a pretty big deal because it allows people to be a bit more interactive with us and the site and we’re gaining valuable information by knowing how many people use the site on top of getting a good idea of the expected turnout this year. Plus we’re already getting heaps of donations which means we’ll be able to cover the costs of the walk without resorting to dipping into our own pockets so much. It’s also means we can donate more of the money we raise to the Brain Foundation! Win win!

Check out the new website!

Right now I am trying to come up with a design for the Official t-shirts which is proving a bit tougher than the poster as I need to use minimal colours and make sure it appeals to everyone. I’ll post my designs and idea as they come along. Then there’s the fundraiser gig Rott n Roll. I’m currently getting people to help me find local bands willing to play for free but will also draw a crowd. Oh and the after party – lots of work there too. We’re goin to have to start recruiting volunteers soon!

Anyway, as the walk looms ever closer I’m going to get busier and busier so please don’t think I am neglecting my blog out of laziness! Hopefully as everything slots into place I will have more time to post more substantial updates!
