by Pockey Lam

Thanks a lot for all the positive feedback. We will definitely add a poster (most likely A2 size) in our Swag for 2013 and make sure that every swag items will have its SVG file for download (and localize) when we finished to create the artwork, just like previous years ;-) Cheers, Pockey On 01/28/2013 04:33 PM, Marcos Marado wrote: > On Sunday 27 January 2013 07:56:37 Pockey Lam wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> It is time to talk about SFD 2013,since we received quite some good >> feedback for sfd banners, we are wondering if adding one or two big >> poster(s) would be useful for your SFD event. >> >> In terms of size, it would be either A1: 570 x 870mm or A2: 570 x >> 420mm.

Poster should also look OK in monochrome: Most people don't have access to colour printers at work, or if they do, same problem arises: colleagues often are discouraged from using the colour printer. SFD people might print in colour, but friends of SFD people emailed to at work, won't be so motivated to use the company's colour printer. `Small is beatiful' ;-) A5, USA Letter, & A4 most useful. Numerous friends can generaly be easily persuaded to print & stick A5 on the outside of their own office doors, if friends in local source groups personaly enclose them in email, for any of various tech. events inc. SFD. Some lesser number will be prepared to stick up A4. Most people can't publicise larger, they'd need to be quite motivated to take time to get permission/ agreement from room colleagues, boss & personnel for notice boards etc. The small USA: Still not yet grown to A4 paper ;-) Margins would be a problem above single sheet: Most printers only print up to A4, & most leave a white margin. Sticking sheets together, we'd have to accurately cut off white margins & align. The bigger the worse the drift. Cut marks would help. What would generate them ? We'd get into a distracting discussion on tools, (between small & light tools & versions with dependencies that run on some not all OSs, versus bloated mega packages, eg open/libre/office, that some teams have forced to run on most OS, at least some version). A5 black & white won't be ambitious enough for various SFD activists, & good to have something better too, but A5 B/W will have far greater chance of appearing outside lots of office doors of friends & acquaintainces of SFD people.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It would be good to ship posters, even if folded. And the SVG or PDF source file idea is also good, especially for groups that are at more than one site. Best to make the posters without a specific year, so they can be used again at future SFD events.

That will be a good idea. The smaller banner I received last year came in one piece.

Adding a poster in Swag 2013

by Pockey Lam

Hi all, It is time to talk about SFD 2013,since we received quite some good feedback for sfd banners, we are wondering if adding one or two big poster(s) would be useful for your SFD event. In terms of size, it would be either A1: 570 x 870mm or A2: 570 x 420mm. One downside is that the poster will be folded into smaller size in order to fit inside the package so it may have a chance to arrive damaged as well. So it's good to hear your opinions to see if it's worth to try :-) Regards, Pockey
