It was no secret there was an ongoing creative feud at The Minnesota Daily -- not in the advertising Creative Dept certainly, but between our office and the guys at Editorial. There was no question who reigned supreme but while we were forced to express our myriad of abilities via awkward venues like Coupon Bonanza and Dinkytown Crazy Daze, the Editorial staff was allowed to develop a weekly arts-oriented insert, one with its own staff and budget! Entitled D'ART, the end product sucked (as we all had anticipated) and didn't last very long (ditto) but D'ART was in existence over Campus Carnival, a big field house event full of booths and exhibits. Ironically we at Advertising Creative were asked to come up with a MN Daily booth featuring the new (but doomed) arts insert. I came up with a couple of sketches -- logically the visitors wouold throw darts at a booth manned by a puppet... being worked by a Craig McNamara puppet... being worked by John Jarvis. The second idea was dismissed outright as it required two giant spring-loaded hinges and too much mopping up.
