    Recently as you may have heard from Additives Free there has been a rise in the level of fascists/racists in our area.
    While looking for Anti-racist/fascist posters on them thar interwebs, I have been slightly irritated by the fact that there are very few good plain black and white poster designs that are economical on black areas as I'll be printing them out on an inkjet printer, I don't want to use too much ink.
    Most of the posters I have found have been colour and obviously intended to be printed by a professional printshop and the black and white ones have too many large areas of black (wasteful on ink).

    So here is the challenge: Design an Anti-Racist or Anti-Fascist poster that will scale well for A4 or A3 that is black and white (or greyscale) and does not have too many ink wasting black areas.

    PS: This may be better suited to the graphics forum, but it might be more likely to get noticed here and it is of an anti-fascist theme, anyhoo mods/admins treat it as you see fit.

    Could you be more specific about what kind of design/message you&#39;d like?

    Ian, whatever, unless you&#39;re going to post helpful and productive things, please, shut the fuck up.
    Antifa, according to the oxford english dictionary isn&#39;t a word either, yet people use it all the time. Both words are used a lot on non-english sites as you can see by googling them. Both words are used on http://www.antifa.net/.

    Anyway, here&#39;s a shitty stencil I made a while ago, I suppose it could be used as a poster:

    Something that conveys that racism/facism is not acceptable.

    I&#39;ve been an anti fascist for many years and have been deeply involved in anti-fascism and anti-racism, been trying to establish militant anti-fascist action in this country for years, and yet this is the first time I have ever heard the word antira.

    I googled it. One relevant result.

    Try googling the two words together, you&#39;ll get quite a few non-english results, most of them relevant.

    Antira is a word, although it&#39;s normally shortened to ARA. I certainly have known people to use &#39;antira&#39; either way, it this group

You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"

    And I am, to BBBG, who stayed on topic, didn&#39;t post a one liner being pedantic about a word, and read the original post.

    Back on topic, these are good examples.

    You will hunt me down? That is fucking hilarious&#33;

    You always go out of your way to insult people or provide smart ass comments to piss everybody off. If anybody is posting shit, it&#39;s you.

    Do yourself a favour: go to the print shop and print b & w there. Ink Jet will end up costing you like &#036;60 in the long run, probably printing you about a couple of hundred to 500 posters max, well &#036;50 should easily get you 2,000 posters at any reasonably priced print shop. Just print the master copy on your Ink Jet. Most print shops these days can print from a floppy/CD-R(OM)/USB Storage Device anyways, so that may not even be a problem.
