Students from the graduating class of OCAD’s ad program, along with five ad shops, were employed by the National Ballet of Canada to promote six productions in its 2008/2009 season. For The Seagull, students distributed 5,000 origami seagulls across Toronto. When unfolded, the paper gulls reveal a flyer with ballet info and instructions on how to text to win tickets, as well as how to refold the gulls.
