Newspaper Propaganda by Cunning Linguist
June 4th, 2006 11:24 PM
When starting this task, I def. wanted to make some flyers that were more than just your average "low-budget" flyer (ie. a computer print out on 8.5x11 20lb. printer paper). I wanted a real flyer... slick... glossy maybe... so I remembered I had all this high-gloss printer paper left over from an album I made for the moms.

I figured I would make the flyer look as much like the EquivalenZ info page as possible... while maintaining some of it's aesthetics... so I sat down in front of photoshop and 20 minutes later, gave birth to neat lil' flyer. Printed the sucker out 15 times...


Looked pretty nice, so I figured i'd hit the streets...

There were no more copies of the SF chronicle, so chose USA today... not necessarily because of the publication, but because of this cool sticker on the actual dispenser...

So I began splicing my propaganda into USA today's propaganda:



And left them for the public to loot...

When I finished, I had a few left...

...since I had more flyers than newspapers, so I decided to promote my group's idealogy in other locales.
When I saw the Onion's dispenser, I felt almost obliged to insert the flyer into at least one copy. Aside from it being my favorite printed publication in SF, there are matching philosophies between SFZero and the Onion...

I hit up BART as well...


Flyered a few cars...

As well as personally hand-delivered some to a few lucky folks...

Hopefully, we might get a few more EquivalenZ folks in here... because... well, our idealogy just sells itself.
