I was not able to land any Appleseed posters, but I got a few trifolds and postcards from Longrifleman. I took some of the text from the postcard and built this poster display. Super easy. An 18"x24" on the plotter spray glued to a piece of foamcore and a peg board holder to distribute the tri-folds. I'm going to see how well it works in a local Appleseed friendly surplus store.

hey, that's pretty sweet!  Lots more visibility than cards or trifolds alone.  Got a file for that bad boy?

As promised, here is the MS Word file that I used to create the advertising board. I have it set to Word's maximum size of 22" which to maintain the aspect ratio of the common 18x24 poster resulted in 16.5x22. However, when saved to Adobe PDF you can plot at 18x24. If that doesn't make sense, just improvise, adapt and overcome.

The font used for the document is called "Stencil" and it as an all-caps font for some reason.

For the literature holder, I'm still looking for something super inexpensive. Here is an option I found on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Excelsior-Wall-Mount-Literature-Holder-Clear/dp/B074QYVBT1/ref=sr_1_15?crid=3EM2ZICL527RZ&keywords=pegboard+brochure+holder&qid=1561375372&s=gateway&sprefix=peg+board+brochure%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-15.

Did you forget to attach the file, or am I going blind faster than I thought?  :cool2:

Nice Job Hammbone!  O0  Looks Great
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the
whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they
lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."
~ Samuel Adams
