The grandfather of democratized media, the humble poster is an ideal medium for the activist- whether working alone or in a group. It can challenge assumptions, inform, and question. At it's best it's a work of art. Posters are understandable and accessible. They're also cheap to make. That's cheap as in free or nearly free for the resourceful activist. Many of us have access to free college and company printers. Others have connections with print shops and copy machine repairpersons. Even if you have to bite the bullet and pay for it you won't be paying much. If you are in a group, consider printing enough to pass out stacks to group members willing to put them up as they go about their daily routine. If you want to reduce the environmental impact of your flyering try raiding the recycle bin at work or school. Stack all of the used paper with the clean side facing the same way, get the edges even with each other, stick the paper in the printer tray and print. Voila- zero energy recycling you can practice in the comfort of home. By the way, if the printer jams too often due to curling edges leave the stacked paper on a shelf for a while and it should straighten out. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
