The No RNC Poster Project started when a small group of friends with experience in graphic design and independent media came together with the goal of collecting and distributing posters against this summer's Republican National Convention in New York City.

Our original plan was to print a small number of posters in a newspaper-format booklet and then move on to a different project. The response to our call for submissions was overwhelming - who knew there were so many pissed-off graphic designers out there?! - and we've gotten such a wealth of great work from people around the country that we've been broadening our goals ever since.

Our first project is still the free book of posters. Next week, we’ll head to the printers with 19 designs printing 1,000 setsof posters using commercial offset printing on hiqh-quality newsprint. Titled OUR CITY, OUR WALLS, the posterbook includes beautiful designs in a wide variety of styles, techniques, and visions. The designs are funny and scary, ominous and hopeful.

These posters will cover NYC this summer. They'll be on the streets, in storefronts and apartment windows, on picket signs, everywhere you - or the invading Republicans - look. They'll show the world that New York is against Bush, the Republicans, and the RNC's callous exploitation of the memory of September 11th for political gain.

And that won't be all. Throughout the summer, we'll be working in other mediums to get your messages and visions out there. Keep sending us your poster and sticker designs, keep checking out the site for updates, and keep up to date with what's going on with the project by signing up for our super-low-volume announcement list.

In the meantime, check out the gallery, download your favorite designs and put them up yourself. Please consider making a donation to help us cover printing costs, and e-mail us if you're interested in designing, getting involved with the collective, receiving updates about the project, giving financial support, distributing posters, buying prints or pins, helping screenprint, or just saying hello.
