Two easy ways to make Lyme protest posters!
METHOD 1 - USE OUR READY-MADE FILES
1. Click a poster at right to download file (PDF format).
2. Print the page on 8.5 x 11" paper
3. Email the file (or bring the printout) to your local Staples Copy Center and ask them to make an enlarged Xerox on 18 x 24" paper. Tell them to enlarge it by 219% to fit perfectly. Cost is about $2.00.
Find your local Staples here -- call to get their Copy Center's email address. > http://stores.staples-locator.com/staples/
4. Use clear packaging tape to tape the 18 x 24" xerox onto a 22 x 28 poster board (preferably green!)
5. Punch holes and add string to hang around your neck - or tape a large stick to the back. (Paint stirrers work great - tape a few together.)
METHOD 2 - MAKE YOUR OWN POSTER
1. In Microsoft Word, use BIG BOLD TYPE to make your sign on an 8.5 x 11 page.
•
Fill page almost to edges.
• Reduce margins (under Format, Document) so type fits.
• Simple fonts are better for legibility.
• Some good typefaces are Impact and Arial Black.
2. Follow directions above to email or bring your file to Staples to make an enlargement and attach it to poster board.
