Lots of good feedback including the spelling error!
The images were really hard for us to alter so I doubt we'll do more there.
But will play with the text and see what happens.
Thanks!

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
