Did you enjoy Museum Week last month?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you happened to see students busily running around in bright pink t-shirts, they were most likely Waseda Advertising Society (WAS) members organizing the event.<\/p>\n

WAS members designed not only their t-shirts but also the flags hanging in the Nanmon Shopping Arcade and posters across campus. They even created the event’s catchy promotion video<\/a>. Not to mention, the members were at the Museum Week events, standing by to provide whatever support the participants needed.<\/p>\n\n

According to Koudai Ueda, the main organizer, he bore in mind to make an impact with the phrase “The Unexpected is waiting” on the back of the T-shirts while keeping the logo design on the flags simple. He said the following:<\/p>\n

By participating in Museum Week, I felt privileged to see a new side of Waseda as I reconfirmed all the cultural institutions housed at the University. Museum Week is an event where many different kinds of people and groups gather to celebrate culture. I hope that many people will come to Museum Week again next year to embrace what Waseda University has to offer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although the WAS members faced challenges in creating posters and WEB advertisements, but they did not compromise their design so that they can appeal to as many visitors as possible.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes of the festivity, there were many students dedicated to running the event. We look forward to having many visitors again next year.<\/p>\n
