Ambassadors Wall
Here are two posters I made for the Ambassadors Wall (Ambassadors are an important institution inside Fedora, people spread around the work promoting Fedora and the wall is a place where they can have their voices heard):
The concepts are similar and straightforward: one is about a cork board where people can put thei message on a post-it note and the other is composed from speech bubbles.
In the end they did not turned in what I imagined initially, I dreamed about having the notes written in a lof of native languages with various scripts and charsets to better show the multicultural aspect and maybe having them written by hand and accompanied by a photo for a human touch (but good look with gathering photos which may be used for print).
Anyway, I am quite happy with the result.
Do your own
Now it you want to customize the poster with your own note/voice, is not easy to add a post-it or bubble, the space is used at maximum already, but grab the SVG sources (cork board, voices), open in Inkscape, delete an existing note, and replace with your. Or do a complete pack of 15 notes.
Printing
As some printing house will not be happy with your SVG, here is how to trick them: either export a PNG at the desired resolution, import in GIMP and convert to TIFF or just import the SVG with GIMP and set the size/DPI at import and save as TIFF (for example, an A3 poster at 300 DPI is 3508x4960 px).
Anyone should just shut up when provided with TIFF images.
Wouldn't that be "Ambassador's", with an apostrophe? It's the possessive, right?
