This week we will be focusing on the CARP poster.
Here is the time-frame for the assignment:

11.06.13 – Project Brainstorm and Sketchwork
11.13.13 – Template provided – see here: GRA3611-PosterTemplate.ai
11.20.13 – Poster DUE final cirt and changes

The template, above, should ensure that the fine-print copy appears consistent on all posters. You may change the color.
The font used here is Gotham (Kate’s suggestion). I’ve created to outline in the version here, in case you do not have the original font. We can discuss details this Weds.

POSTER COPY HERE:

RIIS PARK IN DANGER
No Fracking* Gas Pipeline Under Your Beach!
Help save the Rockaways.

Don’t let the Federal Government give your beach to big industry.
Plans are being made to lay a pipeline next summer.
You only have until December 9^th to speak up.

ACT NOW. Scan the QR code and voice your opinion!
Or visit Coalition Against the Rockaway Pipeline (CARP) at: www.carpny.org

* Fracking is a toxic and harmful method of extracting “natural gas” from deep in the earth. The Rockaway Pipeline is being built to bring fracked (and likely radioactive) gas to NYC homes and businesses.
