Lowell, MA - Lyle Moran of the Lowell Sun contacted us on the morning of November 29th to discuss the work we have been doing. This came after an initial meeting we had back in May earlier this year. This time, he had seen everything we had been working on by following @Design4Lowell on social media (Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook.)
He had 10 questions, and we had about 30-50 answers:) The title "Designing the Future of Lowell Businesses" perfectly captured our mission and the content of the story caught the attention of the Lowell Historic Board. "
I've heard from business owners and building owners downtown that public enemy number one is the Lowell Historic Board" read one of the quotes from the interview. This we told them, was a reflection of research done over the course of the past year. Our main issues were concerning the awning and signage rules set in place as well as poor preservation of public advertising spaces that once decorated the beautiful walls of our mills and other edifices. We hope to work with the Historic Board on bringing more public art, new design codes, and other projects that are still classified.
So thank you Lyle and the Lowell Sun. Your journalism just got a jump start based on some of the emails we received. We also aim to work with your advertising clients to encourage them to use local designers to design their ads in your publication as opposed to sending those jobs to India. But more on that in 2014. Until then...
