Great!
Like so many pieces of ambient, I question how well this really worked. The sheer cuteness of the figurine undercuts the seriousness of the message, and given that books are usually turned spine out on the shelf means the headline would be facing in the wrong direction for a reminder read, thus eliminating the message altogether.
Dude. They're called bookENDS. Meaning they're on the end. And therefore, still entirely readable.
*Dude*, look at a set of bookends sometime and tell me which side FACES OUT.
the copy faces out but the expression of the ceramic child will always be seen.
which is okay because 1.the copy has already been read when the ambient piece was delivered. 2. anyone new to the ceramic book ends would like to know why the books are leaning and why the bookend kids look so distressed.
Well said.
I assume these would go on the teacher's desk as a constant reminder. They don't need to read it every time to remember the message.
Like it.
what the fuc*! is this, how you supose to help this kid... what a fake ambient. (so you see this, realize about the problem and then? no phone number no webpage...
yes . i agree with u. no contact information about help and more
'This bookstand was given out to teachers and educators to remind them to help ease the pressure on the children.'
Who do you want the teacher to call? Read before write.
