Worker Uses 8,024 Post-It Notes To Turn Boring Office Walls Into Superhero Murals

ADVERTISEMENT

Ben Brucker was tired of the plain, bland walls at the office of the creative agency he works for, so he decided to do something about it. His solution was to cover the office’s walls with a series of pixelated superhero portraits made from a total of 8,024 post-it notes.

Brucker writes on Reddit that it took him several weeks to plan and design the characters. He had the full support of his boss, who gave him a $300 budget for the materials and even helped him put the post-its up when it was time!

He explains that post-its were used because the agency would be moving to another office in a few months anyway, so they needed a design that was 100% non-permanent.

    “There are a lot of leftovers, and some colors from the packs were not used at all. I ended up purchasing about 9,000 post-its”

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    I had no idea that post-it notes came in black. Great work!

    I wish I had my walls done with sticky-note, but instead have it be Portal 2 themed :)

    This shows how one person's creative idea can get other people involved to make something simple into something grand.
