As far as making signs, stickers, posters, etc....don't forget tiling if you want to make a huge sign. don't pay money to have some huge banner printed out. you can just use watered down acrylic matte medium as a glue (or even watered down regular old elmers) and tile smaller 8.5 x 11 pages onto a piece of shitty cardboard you got from behind the local grocery store or whatever.<br><br>just smooth it out with a paint scraper after you've got it down on your cardboard to get rid of all the air bubbles. also, applying another layer of matte medium, all the way around, front and back, will give some pretty decent weather protection.<br><br><br>another idea is to make a very light weight banner, then tie each end of the banner to 5 or 6 helium filled balloons, take a third line and anchor the whole thing to the ground and you've got a floating sign you can put up in public places.<br><br><br>another idea is to go the opposite route...super tiny stickers (just make 'em on the computer) that you can put near toilet paper dispensers in the restrooms at work, at the mall, Target, Barnes and Noble, etc etc. anywhere, really. trains, toll booths, etc.<br><br>just a few ideas.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
