i was thinking about doing something unique. There was (if I remember correctly) 2,223 people who were on the titanic (some lived and some died). That number is pretty close to the size of a print run. So I was thnking I might create Boarding Passes for each person who was on the Titanic to go with each deck. So, for each backer who buys a deck they'll get a boarding pass for one of the passengers of Titanic (randomly choosen). They'll only be one boarding pass per person... no duplicates (unless I do two print runs as stated earlier).
That sounds brilliant. I assume that means one pass per backer (if buy a brick still a single boarding pass)? Maybe start out with that, but if the entire total decks sold is less than 2,223 then it could be one per deck. Also, indicating the fate of your chosen passenger on the pass could be cool too, especially since I know you'll make it visually interesting.
I was actually thinking the boarding passes are cards that goes together with a single deck. So if someone buys a brick, he should get 12 boarding passes.
I saw in a movie once there is this place somewhere in US talking about the holocaust during WWII. These group of students entering a museum are each handed a card/photo of a Jewish kid, and at the end of the museum, they get to see if the kid they had survived or was killed in the holocaust. Perhaps, if you are considering doing the life and death deck, you could sell all your deck in pairs, show boarding passes for the life deck and indicate if they survived or not in the death deck. Then you deck will really be limited to the exact amount of 2,223, which i believe would be really cool.
I wonder if there is a Jack and Rose boarding pass
