> Comrades and Compas, > Two visually and politically impressive posters exposing Columbus as a > mass murderer,enslaver, etc., have been created by a group of artists based > in Miami. They are available on my web site at > http://burn.ucsd.edu/~aaron/Columbus-posters/ . > Since this URL is a directory without (yet) an index.html or similar file, > you will see a simple directory listing when you openit with your browser. > The two posters are at this time available only in .eps format. (EPS > files can be opened with programs like Pagemaker, Freehand and Illustrator, > among many others.) They are available with a choice of .sit or .gz > compression. All are ascii-encoded with binhex (.hqx). > I intended to upload the posters in .jpeg and/or .gif format within the > next day or so. Feedback concerning useful formats, etc. will be > appreciated, since I have little experience with graphics files. > The poster Columbus-1 is over 1 MB because it contains a bitmapped > graphic. Columbus-2 is only about 50K compressed. > They are designed to be printed at 17" x 22" but can be modified easily > for other sizes. They are meant to be white and red on a black background, > but those who can't print multiple colors can convert the red to gray. > (This will happen automatically in most cases if they are printed in > grayscale.) > Unfortunately, the posters are not yet available in languages other than > English. I don't know if that can be remedied in time for this year's > Columbus Day. > The artists hope that the posters will be widely reprinted. No > permission is required. They would appreciate, however, the opportunity to > buy bulk copies of reprints at modest prices. They can be contacted through > me at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. It would be great to be able to have copies at > least a few days before October 12, so that they can be spread around > before that date. > > - In solidarity, > - Aaron > > ---------- > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://burn.ucsd.edu/~aaron >
