Pixels and planning come together to form the Magazine’s new website—and our office’s new Post-it phoenix mural.
When you’ve been hard at work redesigning the Magazine’s website, everything starts to look like a pixel, even the sticky notes at your desk. So we created this colorful phoenix on our office wall using 900 Post-it notes.
To recreate the phoenix, follow the chart below. You’ll need:
- Empty wall space, at least 8" x 8"
- 900 standard Post-it notes (3" x 3") in four colors (Color 1/gray: 526; Color 2/black: 123; Color 3/red: 153; Color 4/orange: 98)
- A step-ladder
- Several free hours (Note: it took our team of two about three hours)
