[Smashpatriarchy] Posters

[Dan Richardson]

I like Christopher's idea about the posters. Similar style and splitting up the messages.

Is there a day/time for the meeting set?

Hey folks!  Just doing some thinking regarding the posters.  It seems that all of the material we've got is very text heavy.


The first poster I looked at was for the Gender Violence poster.  My thinking is that it would encourage people to read the poster and make things more interesting if we split the 10 tips into 10 different posters: one poster for each tip.  As well, it'd be best if we could try to distill each point into one or two sentences, ideally in simple language.  I might be able to re-adapt them, although for the moment I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with some other stuff I've got going on.




Anyway, I feel like having 10 posters (all in a similar style) would be really useful, because if someone sees two posters and notices that they're different (or if they see "ten ways to stop gender violence: #4") then they might look for more.  It also encourages the idea that this is something you can search out information for in other venues, as well.





I think this would also work with the "creepiness" text, though it might help if some of them were cut back even a little further.  But hold off on doing that, Reg, I might be able to make it work -- and thank you for adapting the article!





For the Stop Rape poster, I think it could be worked similarly, but it might work if each point was 1/4 sized.





As for the Gender poster, I think it's okay as it is?  I question whether anyone will stand around and read it, but it has a more street-art type quality anyway, so it might attract a bit more attention.





I tried to attach some of the posters from the summer MRA times, but the email got spit back at me, so I guess it's a no-go for the time being.  (If everyone gets this message twice, my apologies!)
