IOP posters

Sticking up posters all over campus is what the IOP is best known for. These black and white signs turn up whenever Arthur Galpin is running for something, or whenever we feel like it. Print them yourself, put them up, and scare some animate objects! As of 2011, there are 200 posters in the collection!

Instructions

If you are going to put up signs, you should be familiar with the Institute sign policies; inflatablewhale.org does not currently advise civil disobedience. Simply put, you may put signs on the various sign boards around campus. You may also tape them to the CII, the DCC, and the JEC. Duct tape should only be used on brick surfaces. Use masking tape or painter's tape for everywhere else. If you are going to put signs on the footbridge, use the sign holders (no posting to railings) and limit your number. You cannot put signs in the Union building unless the Union approves them (go to the union office and see what they say). Posting signs on most academic buildings, the Commons, and the Freshman Hill dorms is not permitted except during campaigning season. Putting up signs inside your dorm requires permission from your RA, unless you are posting on your own door.

In addition, any sign must give contact information for whoever posted it, and a date when it can be taken down. Having "www.inflatablewhale.org" in the corner satisfies the contact requirement. For the takedown requirement, write a date on a corner when you put it up. This date should be the day 15 days after the sign is posted. If you leave off either contact or takedown date it will likely be ripped down as being in violation.

As for the technical side, these posters are generally monochrome PNG images which can be easily printed at any campus printer, though using your own printer is recommended. When putting them up, remember that the campus is usually windy. Poorly secured signs can easily be blown away. There are certain strategic locations where signs are more visible; try to take advantage of these.
