It may not quite be the Art Deco era equivalent of today's internet generation "selfies" but the smart new mini-billboards which will appear around the streets of Napier for next weekend's Tremains Art Deco celebration are close enough.
And the idea to set up mini-billboards in the form of large cardboard cut-outs for people to pose through, struck a positive chord for Tremains managing director Simon Tremain given that during last year's big weekend he was out of town - although making appearances here and there courtesy of a large cardboard cut-out of himself.
"We were looking to do something a little different to add to the whole weekend and people like to take photographs of all the art deco things. So we thought here's an idea - they can also get a photo of themselves, in art deco," Mr Tremain said.
Ten posters will be created - the first five being the familiar artworks commissioned by the i-Site and which have been put up on the entranceways to Napier.
The second five will be based on old Art Deco Weekend posters from past events.
