Hello,
Here is the updated template file with the functioning QR code. I have included two AI files: one with the text outlined, and one with the original type. The font is also included in case you need to edit: CARP-Poster-Template
And to recap these were the major copy changes (in red) from today:
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 this summer.
You only have until December 9th 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.

Hello all –
I am so sorry about my unfortunate migraine episode in class last week. At least it hit towards the end of class and I had seen just about everyone’s work. And I should add really great stuff. It’s very exciting to see. I’m sorry if I left any question unanswered. Please email me if you want to run something by me and make sure you update the folder in dropbox titled: ‘Stage4-PosterDesign-Draft1’
Please see this blurb from an email I just received from Mareen. There are some powerful images in case you want to use in your poster:
Recently, the pipeline company submitted visual simulations of their summer construction.
The images they provided begin on page 76 in the attached document.
I think the one I like best is on page 83, and I would crop it… Please see this document: 20131018-5181(28841312)–Transco-CZM_Consistency_Addendum
Next week CARP will come and review the posters. I have not yet confirmed with them what time they are coming, but I’m guessing early. We will have an in-class critique. The goal will be to make final changes and submit to them as PDFs for printing. They will provide us with the URL for the QR code next week.
Let me know if you have questions. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend!
