Puzzle Project 2.0

Giant 150 pc. cross-country fan collaboration for All Time Low on 2012 Warped Tour. Follow for updates on the new Puzzle Project for All Time Low on Warped Tour 2012! *NEW* Puzzle Interest Survey Puzzle Piece Store Get your pieces while you can! We have a limited quantity and Warped Tour is almost here...

Hey, so we're back on.

Puzzle for fall tour! We'll update you once the pieces are available again.

In case it wasn't obvious, the project is being postponed. Between the lack of interest, time crunch at the end, and a bunch of things life decided to throw at me (Rachel), this will be best. Promise, though, postponed, not cancelled. This design is too pretty and fun to waste!

Happy start of Warped Tour on Saturday! 

[puzzleproject]

Well, what do you guys think?

The deadline for Warped is fast approaching... and the level of interest in this project just isn't as high as we were hoping. It only works with full participation. Should we wait until the next tour? Maybe something in support of the new album?

[puzzleproject]

Explains where "The Reckless and the Brave" comes from, if you ask me. Show your love and support by being part of the Puzzle Project 2.0!

The Dedication Piece is live in the store! We will release the remainder of the pieces in batches over the course of the week. In the meantime, the store banner shows an approximation of the planned pieces. So pick your favorite and watch for updates on each batch release!

[puzzleproject]

Please spread the word!

The deadline of June 14th as the start of Warped Tour is approaching fast. For this project to work, we need full participation (all 150 pieces claimed). Our best bets are word of mouth, including all social networking sites. Even better would be if we could grab the attention of one of the band members and have them promote the project. It shouldn't be too much to ask, after all, they enjoyed the first puzzle enough to request a second one. 

And please... if you tweet, say something like: "Check out the Puzzle 2.0, a giant 150 pc. cross-country fan collab for @AllTimeLow - follow @PuzzleProject2 or puzzleproject.tumblr.com" Feel free to add your own spin and to tweet at any of the band members directly, or to add in the link to the survey.

And if all fails... worry not! We'll simply postpone deployment until the next full US (and Canada if possible) tour. Perhaps it will be in support of the new album. Who else is excited about the teaser artwork on their page?

[puzzleproject]

Something's happening... we know recording the new album ended recently, could this be artwork?

The timer on the page indicates we'll find out on June 4th at 5pm EST.

Don't forget to take the survey for the puzzle!

Update: Added finishing touches! (birds and the "sea of sound")

Plans are to begin cutting out the pieces later today. Please fill out the survey if you plan to participate. =]

Send in your favorite "Nothing Personal" tweets.

I know it's been a while since the Nothing Personal twitter take over, but we're working on the puzzle this weekend, and we're severely lacking in good tweets to use. We are trying to use as little profanity as possible (yeah, this is All Time Low we're talking about, I know) but at this point anything helps.

So. We prefer your favorite tweets that were made way back then, but if you know any or could send in any that you have, that would be great.

Peace, Love and All Time Low,

Tink.

[puzzleproject]

Do you guys have "now that blink182 is back they no longer need a cover band. nothing personal." yet? Josh from EA tweeted it like three years ago and it's still my favorite.

We didn't! That's awesome!

[puzzleproject]

Update - this is the basic concept art for the poster.

There are design elements from:

The Three Words to Remember in Dealing with the End (skyline)

The Party Scene (couple dancing)

Put Up or Shut Up (crowd on the ship)

So Wrong, It's Right (ship, colors, jumping, birds)

Nothing Personal (ships inspired byTherapy, others not shown)

Dirty Work (ATL members in silhouette)

Dear Maria single (duck)

All Time Low logo & skull

and more that are not shown in the basic concept - you'll just have to wait and see!

The plan is to offer pieces in sizes of 4" x 6" (small), 6" x 6" (medium), and 8" x 6" (large), with the number of each available subject to demand. We will also offer a group dedication piece, where each person will be allowed a limited number of characters to say whatever they want on the back of the piece. In total, there are approximately 150 pieces (maximum) planned.

For our friends overseas, or even just not in the US or Canada or unable to attend Warped Tour, we will allow you to participate. To do so, you will need to send us instructions on how to decorate your piece, and you may even send us a picture to include. We will complete your puzzle piece and deliver it ourselves.

And now, to get a gauge on how much interest there actually is in participating in the project, please fill out this 3-minute survey.

Please continue to submit dirty jokes and/or your favorite "nothing personal" one liners. In 7 days, we will begin actual fabrication of the puzzle. Get excited!
