With regard to Greg’s comments, I second all of them but particularly the full justified
text which from graphic design standpoint is not a great choice and makes the text notably
more difficult to read. (This has been a problem from the original design of the poster
some years ago).
I would strongly suggest using left-justified text in most places for even spacing between
words and rely on the backgrounds shading and graphics to define the shape of your
columns.

Great Share!
Thanks so much. There is a contra coming up that I'm organizing for a very
safety/oppression sensitive group. I will print this and make it available for that event.
Perfect Timing!
Looking it over, there are some typos and some other constructive criticisms:
- orange citation text at the top left: Linky instead of Lindy.
- Justified text looks awkward all over the poster, like the word "personal" in
the leftmost column, second paragraph, followed by an awkward looking "bow
out"; rightmost column first paragraph. Though I realize some of these may have been
on purpose, like the words "space" and apologize" in the next-to-rightmost
column, third paragraph.
- Perhaps a few more images of contra-esque dancers, rather than singular individuals?
I'd like to see that.
Thanks again,
Greg

Hi All,
We just finished developing our own version of a contra etiquette poster
here in Ottawa so I wanted to share!
We got permission to edit the original lindy hop poster as so did lots of
thinking about what different messaging and wording we wanted. I think I
remember even asking this list for ideas.
Anyway, we sent the poster out via email/facebook to our community last
week and response so far is good! We will be posting it in our hall (along
with our code of conduct) and have copies for folks to take home. Hopefully
a fun, informative and proactive way to share ideas for positive
interaction.
:)
see attached.
Curious as to what you all think!
Emily in Ottawa
