Some guide lines to design the monthly poster and flyer. You make the design you want. Please, add a squat sign, or lots of them, at least one somewhere on the poster and flyer as Joe’s Garage is a squat.
The poster archive is online: https://joesgarage.nl/archives/category/poster-archive
The color chart, some of these colors are not available anymore. Ask us which colors are available at the moment.
Posters and flyers are stenciled. The printer needs PDF files, in black and white, one PDF file per layer.
You label these files with the color you have chosen and you save as PDF files.
For the poster, please try to limit your design to 3 colors maximum. Keep in mind you can also combine 2 colors on each others, which creates a new one.
The flyer is only one color per side.
Please make a poster design in A3, in portrait and not in landscape.
For the flyer, you set 4 flyers on the same page, formatted in A4, portrait. You keep a decent margin in between the 4 flyers, much easier to cut once printed.
Once you’re done with your design, please upload your pdf files on Disroot https://upload.disroot.org/ and share with us the links.
Please, also upload on Disroot the final poster, all layers together, one jpg file from at least 1MB. We’ll add this file to the poster archive.
2 PDF files for a flyer will look like these:
A poster with 3 layers, gold, tail and red:
A poster with 2 layers, magenta and dark green:
About the content of the poster and flyer:
We’ll provide you with a list of events to announce once the deadline is passed. Please always wait for this list because events are often announced at the very last moment and sometimes not even online.
You list events on poster and flyer with the date, time and event title as they would published on Radar. For films, it’s useful to be able to read the title, director and year.
