Hey everyone:
The Portland Zine Symposium is a really cool event that happens annually at PSU! It takes place in the summertime, so it typically hasn't had many direct ties to Portland State students... until now!
Submit your artwork! This is last year's poster. I think one of us GD students could whip out something super fabulous...These posters are super visible all around Portland, so it's a nice way to give some free help to a really great non-profit event and get some exposure while you're at it.
Check out pdxzines.com or let me know if you have any questions.
ALSO! I generally share my table with whoever is interested, so if you have some zines/posters/prints/whatevers you want to sell this July (or if you want to make some in the next six month to sell!) we can have a great AIGAPSU table full of beautiful things!
PZS is looking for art submissions
for the 2009 poster. These year's themes are cats, 9 lives, and "Hang
in there!"
Your art submission:
The guidelines are simple – We are looking for a 11" wide x 17" tall poster that will also be used in other formats (the web, post cards, buttons, stickers, etc), so your design needs to be visible and striking at multiple sizes and resolutions (or have smaller, breakaway pieces). The design will eventually be silk screened / screen printed onto t-shirts, so limit your colors to black, white and one other color. We encourage artists to use any medium or style. We strongly prefer that the choosen artist is able to assist us in the process of transferring (resizing / cropping / etc) the image multiple mediums.
Your design should include:
- the theme
- the dates: July 24th, 25th, 26th (AWAITING CONFIRMATION from PSU)
- the place (Portland State University Smith Memorial Ballroom)
- the website (www.pdxzines.com)
- "9th Annual Portland Zine Symposium"
- "A conference and zine social exploring facets of underground publishing and DIY culture."
Submission deadline is February 25th. Submissions can be emailed to pdxzines@gmail.com, mailed (to PO Box 5901 Portland, OR 97228-5901), or dropped off at the IPRC.
Thanks in advance to all who submit, we look forward to seeing everyone's creative designs!
so glad you posted this!!! I was going to as well, but you beat me to it! ALSO, if there are a bunch of you that make zines we could have the PSU AIGA pay for a table and make it all official. I will be there as well with my table - we could take over an aisle :)
