Protest materials

One of the most important parts of a demonstration / protest are the visuals. Photos and videos of protests often go viral and have amazing impact.

A creative, memorable, funny, recognizable or fitting visual can go a long way! This can be posters, objects, flyers or otherthings.

We already have a couple of things in this regard:

A figma deisgn template (with editable flyer design, logo and more) https://www.figma.com/community/file/1233064002969152026
A google drive media folder (thanks @Moonwards) https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1bQ_MZ8giK-Mee4ABkO0BgcFInaXruNpa
A design for a 3d shoggoth inflatable (also thanks to @Moonwards): https://discord.com/channels/1100491867675709580/1107836189177827380

## How you can help

Come up with new ideas for signs (like the ones @Alex van der Meer made) or creative objects
Create new designs (preferably in figma, but feel free to use other tools!)
Come up with ideas for chants / slogans: projects-💪Signs slogan / chant inspiration

I made this with paint on a canvas 60×80 cm. I was inspired by the cool design of @Moonwards. Taking it to the first Dutch protest tomorrow

skinny-azure•8/10/23, 7:14 AM

I noticed the google drive folder linked above does not include many of the cool designs @Moonwards posted to #protesting-

. Would be valuable if they were added. If I had more to spend I would have opted for printing a few.

yeah, I see they aren't there. I'll post them again here, @Joep Meindertsma shall they go in the media folder? I tried putting them in, but I don't have permissions (which makes sense)

I really love seeing photos of protests. I'd like even to ask for a photo album channel.

awake-maroon•8/12/23, 6:05 PM

Also I'm loving the Pause AI banner and high quality signs

That sounds great!

@OneWorld2023 Anna has some cool ideas on how to make stuff more fun and visual!

awake-maroon•9/8/23, 10:23 PM

@OneWorld2023 Fabric designs, huh? Like costumes? Would you be willing to brainstorm with me about a costume depicting an AI?

Hi, here's a t-shirt idea

improved-purple•9/9/23, 6:45 AM

improved-purple•9/9/23, 6:45 AM

Not sure about the tag line etc.

improved-purple•9/9/23, 6:45 AM

Maybe generally needs work

improved-purple•9/9/23, 8:29 AM

Another working idea...

improved-purple•9/9/23, 8:30 AM

improved-purple•9/9/23, 8:37 AM

Another, but these are all not very thought out, just ideas I had so some may be duffs.

improved-purple•9/9/23, 8:37 AM

I redid this one:

Well, I didn't think any of them were that horrible - talking about my draft graphics ideas here. Not sure what's going on our there. Perhaps ignorance is bliss...doesn't feel like it although tonight I'm alright.

I was just going to post about some other protest supply things. I'd say post about shirts in the Merch thread

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:31 PM

But regarding what you posted, I find it all pretty abstract - too hard to get what you mean. The last one with the three figures made me think of a version with just a robot and a speech bubble saying something friendly on the front, and then on the back is the same robot, from the back, and now you can see it has a weapon in it's hand.

^This is a spray chalk product that washes off after a few days.

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:32 PM

Doing chalk guerilla ads could be pretty effective.

oooh full of double entendres - not quite sure what you're driving at honestly, maybe you have been given inaccurate information about my graphics. I really wouldn't know. But the robot and Karl Marx one was supposed to be a bit vague, something that makes you think, something where the meaning is not clear at all. Probably due to how I'm feeling these days (again).

I'm thinking maybe of working on this as a way to have a quick-and-dirty AI as an alien intelligence

improved-purple•9/9/23, 10:57 PM

Oh I think if you'd like to wear that at the protest then that would be reallly interesting

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:58 PM

It couldn't be me, unfortunately, I'm in Mexico (and I really don't think it's worth pushing for a local protest, not even if I went to Mexico city and made a push)

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:59 PM

However, I think it could be turned into something interesting, if a head was made somehow, something covered with eyes.

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:59 PM

And the manufacturer will print on the surface apparently, so something could be added there.

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 10:59 PM

Also it's only $50 and it can be delivered on time.

improved-purple•9/9/23, 11:00 PM

I think Mexicans might think it's a bit off so yeah, get your drift.

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 11:00 PM

Not their concern, in their minds.

improved-purple•9/9/23, 11:01 PM

Oh before you changed there to their, I thought you were talking about something else.

awake-maroon•9/9/23, 11:01 PM

I always make that mistake
