"Need a poster/leaflet/logo" thread?

[chilango]

Following all the wonderful creativity in the Proletarian Democracy threads got me thinking that perhaps that these skills can also be used constructively.

Do people think a thread where people need some design work for their campaign/group/protest can post up a request and those with the time and skills can post up designs for them would be a nice idea?

Or these days can most people knock up a decent enough bit of agitprop for this to be superfluous?

Well if you're offering, I happen to know that the good people (cough cough) of the Radical History of Hackney website could do with a header/logo? http://hackneyhistory.wordpress.com/

(and are pretty rubbish at design)

Not exactly the most urgent cause going, I will grant you.

Aye. Not just me though...I'm sure there are better designer than me out there (hence the thread) but sure I'll give it a go...

Yes, absolutely. Great idea for a thread...

 

[chilango]

Any use?

It's the correct dimensions for their Wordpress theme.

I can do something different if you have any ideas...

 

[chilango]

If this is a go-er could it be stickied?

 

[chilango]

or this one (a bit cheesy imo though)

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Wow, that's cool

The white in the first one is a bit bleached out, but the 2nd is wicked.

The background is a wee bit too bright, though.

Do you want to be credited on the site?

In fact.

I'm really pleased with this one.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Love the design of that last one, but the site is mainly about 20th Century stuff so a bit out conceptually. Perhaps it's time for a poll on the site itself...

 

[chilango]

A compromise (not quite as aesthetically consistent...)

 

[chilango]

A bit more visually successful.

 

[chilango]

Okay. Clocking off for the weekend now.

Awesome

Is that Nadine Dorries in the bottom left hand corner?

 

[SpineyNorman]

Great idea for a thread by the way.

And to keep it great can I suggest that if people don't like any campaigns people request artwork for that they simply don't offer to help out and either keep it to themselves or start another thread on it? That way this one can be kept for useful stuff and won't end up getting ruined by sectarian bickering.

Look at the pic.

Who/what are they attacking?

Does their target - in this pic- play a positive or negative role in working class communities?

They're good.

I'd use one of these.

Anyhow. You wanna argue this, we should take it elsewhere.

Great idea for a thread and I'll happily contribute some work to this..

If anyone has a good idea for a square shaped twitter/facebook avatar type logo for Boycott Workfare that'd be great, we failed to come up with anything nice.

I can't read that properly. Do legibility first, 'the look' second. I like the later ones much better.
