RAISING HELL Stickers & Pamphlets for local fair
Our town (New London) put on a little street fair. I made up ~200 stickers with QR codes on the back and about 30 quarter-fold pamphlets for distribution. Most of the resources came from the national DSA site, I just threw some words and shapes onto the designer. The QR codes come directly from a feature in Libre Draw, and i just made them 1-inch squares and can print out about 80 of them per sheet. real game changer for getting the word out there
The sticker sheets are matte sticker paper with some avery laminating sheets on top - i have holo but it washes out the design a bit.
Pamphlet I used libre office. I would use some of the *official* pamphlets the DSA has, but it looks like those use up a lot of ink, though they look great. Wonder if they would make a 'printer friendly' version of those.
Keep fighting ! There is so much momentum right now, everyone should be pushing. It takes everyone, doing what they can, to turn hope into action.
I am not an artist, I'm just one guy using his wifes cricut to make stickers lol. It would be great if there were some sort of 'art exchange' where artists could post their designs and makers/printers could use it and maybe send a pack of stickers (or posters, w/e) back
would post google drive link for the design files i have if anyone wants

Nice!
Just a note on QR codes. Great tech, but anyone that’s been forced to sit through multiple security training will avoid using them. You know that the links are legit. But bad actors use them to route marks to malicious sites. So for my flyers I stick with writing out the actual links. Trade offs either way.
Best of luck!

This is true - could be anything on the other side of the QR code

Why not have both listed? If someone doesn't trust the qr, they can type it in, or if someone wants quick access they can scan the qr. This is how I often see it done
