The poster archive is online: https://joesgarage.nl/archives/category/poster-archive
Some guide lines to design the monthly poster and flyer. You make the design you want. Please, add a squat sign, at least one somewhere on the poster and flyer. People should know Joe’s is a squat.
The printer needs PDF files, in black and white, one PDF file per layer.
You label them as you want, the best is to mention the color you have chosen within these: https://joesgarage.nl/wp-content/uploads/joe2/2017/11/colorsheet2017.jpg
Colors available in January 2024:
black, yellow, blue, red, green, teal, magenta light green, maroon, violet, dark green, purple.
experimental: brown and federal blue
For the poster, try to limit to 3 colors maximum. 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 margin in between the 4 flyers, it’s easier to cut once printed.
The 2 PDF files for the flyer will look like these:
A poster with 3 layers, gold, tail and red:
A poster with 2 layers, magenta and dark green:
Once you have send all your PDF files to the printer, please always mail one JPG file of the final poster so it can be added to the online archive https://joesgarage.nl/archives/category/poster-archive
Once done with your design, you upload your PDF files and the JPG file (the final poster) on https://share.riseup.net/ , not on google share, not on weshare.

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 nice since the text should not be too small.
On both side of the flyer, please mention this: Joe’s Garage + month + year.
