Some guide lines to design the monthly poster and flyer. You make the design you want.
The poster archive is online: https://joesgarage.nl/archives/category/poster-archive
The printer wants PDF files, in black and white, one PDF per layer. You label them with the color you have chosen within these: https://joesgarage.nl/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2017/11/colorsheet2017.jpg
For the poster, try to limit to 3 colors maximum. The flyer is only one color per side.
The poster is in A3, portrait (easier to hang out)
For the flyer, you set 4 flyers on the same page, formatted in A4, portrait. You keep a margin in between the 4 flyers, it’s easier to cut once printed.
The 2 files for the flyer will look this these:

https://joesgarage.nl/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2018/02/201803joesgarage_flyer_front.pdf
the poster files will look like these:

the 3 layers together, in color, that’s the final poster: https://joesgarage.nl/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2019/05/201906joesgarageposter.jpg
Joe’s Garage needs the final poster, all files together, in color saved as a JPG file in order to upload it on our website.
Once done with your design, you upload all the PDF files and the JPG file (the final poster) on https://share.riseup.net/ , not on google share.
About the content of the poster and flyer:
If events are announced on time, then they are listed on Radar: https://radar.squat.net/en/amsterdam/joes-garage/events
you list them on poster and flyer with the date, time and event title as they are published on Radar. For films, it’s useful to mention title, director and year.

Same as on the poster, plus this text:
Since June 2005, Joe’s Garage is an autonomous squatted political social
center, a meeting place in the Transvaal neighborhood for squatters and
non-squatters, subsidy free, not for profit, self-organized and entirely
run by volunteers. Without your active participation, we are closed. New
faces, new projects are very welcome, bring your ideas, get in touch!
A two sides flyer is needed since the text should not be too small.
On both side of the flyer, you put this: Joe’s Garage, month and year.
