Alternatives to large PS files -- Technical illustrator apps (I use 
Canvas) are great at mixing images and texts.  The images are simple and 
can be low res for small file size.


Try to keep the images as vector objects, NOT bit maps.

Hell, Word could produce something like this.  Just keep the images 
small -- small as in file size.

Yes - that would be fine!

The originators of the poster have some rules to follow in order to be 
allowed to use it.  (I've attached - Fair Usage Request)
In terms of taking our contra version and making it your own, we'd ask 
that you give credit for Ottawa Contra (with website) modifying for 
contra (or something to that effect).  And, send us a copy when done as 
I'm sure our board would like to take a look. :)


I'll try sending the file as a zipped file just to you.
It's a very difficult file to work with.  Photoshop - masssive size.

Emily, thank you for sharing this poster. That is fabulous. I can
tell quite a bit of work went into that poster. So much information.

Would you be okay if Atlanta took the information here and made our
own version? We'd want to have a southern touch to it.


I've cc'ed various folks in the Atlanta community who have different
roles and skills they may wish to bring to bear to this initiative.

*Subject:* [Organizers] Contra etiquette poster
Hi All,

We just finished developing our own version of a contra etiquette
poster here in Ottawa so I wanted to share!

We got permission to edit the original lindy hop poster as so did
lots of thinking about what different messaging and wording we
wanted.  I think I remember even asking this list for ideas.

Anyway, we sent the poster out via email/facebook to our community
last week and response so far is good! We will be posting it in our
hall (along with our code of conduct) and have copies for folks to
take home. Hopefully a fun, informative and proactive way to share
ideas for positive interaction.
:)
see attached.
Curious as to what you all think!

One more thing: In printing this poster through a professional print
establishment, they told me its actual size was 11x15.5. It would be
recommended to print the poster as this size, rather than squish it or
stretch it to fit other sizes of paper. I am planning on printing 5 and
laminating them, for use at all my dances. Whether they go on the wall, or
are passed around by hand (which I would do for outdoor events), laminating
them will preserve their quality, and can allow you to print on lighter
paper. It's worth the money.
