This is a showcase for great poster design, distribution in the world's streets and commentary about all things "affiche."
What to do: 1. Make the poster. 2. Save it as a high resolution PDF. 3. Have it hosted somewhere for download (Google Docs, your web site/server). 4. Send a low resolution .jpg, the link for the PDF download and your web site for publication to Defense D'Afficher.
Please: Don't send me your poster in an e mail without a link to the PDF download.
All poster concepts will be reviewed by a panel of Hollywood Celebrities, International Intellectuals, Cool Folks Like Yourself & Matthew Rose for good design and clean concepts. Most everything will be accepted, unless it is so morally bereft it's a crime, so no worries if we like it.
Mail here: Defense D'Afficher.

Then photograph them in situ, and send us back the photos with the city name and date, and we'll post them on the DEFENSE D'AFFICHER sister site. Spread the word, and thank you for participating.

Zine project for IMPRINT magazine
Zine project for IMPRINT magazine
Dear friends of the PCA,
To coincide with the June Issue of IMPRINT, which is themed ‘Artists Books’, The Print Council of Australia is encouraging its members and friends to produce zines in an enormous random zine exchange.
A zine [short for magazine] is indeed a small ‘booklet’, most often photocopied and stapled and can be filled with your writing- story, poetry, musings, and/ or your drawing, doodling, photographs, and is quite ephemeral in its nature. For example, I have come across ‘fan zines’, filled with musings on peoples favourite macaroons, recipes, journal entries describing the baking process, lists of people they gave the macaroons to.
It can be a personal story or factual observations, written or illustrative, the content is entirely up to you, our only requirement is in order to include the zine in the postage of Imprint, we need the zine to be small and lightweight. [Finished size: no larger than A6- 10.5 x 15cm. Up to 16 pages- = 2 x A4 sheets cut and folded.]
[And we ask that the content not be offensive in any way to a broad audience.]
If you google zines you will come across many examples- and wikipedia has quite a comprehensive definition and history of the "zine".
I hope you can let this information ruminate and I’m sure you will come up with some great ideas to put in a zine, If you can produce an edition of 15 [or 30 would be even better] zines [by photocopying] and post them to us, we would love to have them. They can be left unsigned if you prefer anonymity, or you can use a pseudonym, or of course you can sign them.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact, and as we need 1400 zines in total, please encourage your friends to make an edition for us too.
Please post as many zines as you can to me at the address below before March the 31st.
I thankyou in advance,
Kind Regards,
Georgia Thorpe
