Another idea for a poster is a picture of a cave man with a bubble above his head showing a bunch of technology like car, computer, space craft, gene splice etc.. and then have a caption that says, "Go ahead, dare to dream." .... "As big as you want." and then stamp an imminst logo, name, web adress and mission statement on it.

I cant find a link to the imminst trifold. If somebody knows where it is could you please link it here? Im going to either work on updating it and get feedback until we find a working version or help encourage others to update it.

Im going to print off as many trifolds as I can to send to Sven for the Aging Concert in Europe.

If anybody else wants to help print off material and send it to the concert then get with us on that and we can coordinate the effort.

Ill also be printing off some of the flyers listed in this topic. Jedimasterlucia made some awsome cause related drawings that Ive attached. Put a simple slogan, support for the concert, and the Imminst logo, web address and mission statement on them and they are ready to go. You cant really use the uncle sam one in Europe but Ive included it for other uses. You can make posters like that in seconds at this link here.

I really like the designs Joseph made. The slogan is catchy and thought-provoking. Some of the other ones certainly appeal to me but might not appeal to the public. It's also graphically the best looking.

Cnorwood's design was also very nice; could be good for a t-shirt. Made me chuckle.

So did you already buy whatifwehadmoretime.com (btw I think this is much better than an acronym, and Google will like it more too)? What's the content of the website supposed to be?

Oh, and not to be an asshole, but I don't think the drawings with the girl battling death are professional enough. In my opinion they look a bit childish and may give people the impression that ImmInst is not serious about what it does.

That's not to say they're bad; just that I wouldn't use them for marketing purposes.

Wow, Im really digging this picture. I think we should put a caption like, "Lived life? You aint seen nothing yet," and then slap an imminst logo and web address on it and use it as a flyer.

Jedimasterlucia, if you see this, can you try to do another version of this? Then we could use it for firmly official type things.

Now this is a very nice picture; professional-looking even. I wouldn't use this for anything official, however, because frankly, the first impression someone not interested in immortality will get is that "so you guys are trying to turn us into robots, huh?"

This is stage II stuff, whereas stage I stuff should be more along the lines of what Joseph did; familiarizing people with the concept of living longer. The futurist twist with cybernetic arms and androids with wings appeals only to a very small minority, and besides, it'd be preaching to the choir.

EDIT: In other words, less cyborgs, more healthy grandmas.

That is one way to get through to some demographics, true. I would like to see more ads like that too. I would like to see more ads of all kinds. Here another super ad.

Perfect. If you can keep doing these once in a while it will be tremendous. You seem to have the perfect idea on what to make, and it will inspire others to make more also. The momentum of this section should be tremendously helpful in a lot of areas. Im adding all these to the zine project, and it will help get more people to put out flyers to name a few. Im thinking about starting more kinds of matching actions such as, if 3 people want to send three of their state represenatives a letter or call them then I will match it with three. You can join that by signing up on line 31 here: http://docs.google.c...evision=_latest

Im thinking about a matching flyer offer like that too. Maybe it would catch on, say like, I will put up 25 flyers if I can get 3 other people to also put up 25 flyers apeice.

I like it, although I would say "dare to dream... as long as you want."

Here's my idea. Kind of simple yet profound.

I like this one but could you extend the banner on the bottom so it goes all the way across? Maybe add another blue box in that corner and jam a bunch of details in there.

Here you go. Though there is not as much space as I'd like. I couldn't find any approved factoids unfortunately.

Nice. These are just suggestions of course, but if you could, the double play on the mission statement doesnt seem to jive right to me. I might replace "Its mission is to conquer the blight of involuntary death" with some kind of accomplishment or indicator of one such as, "Imminst is planning its 3rd international conference later this year, stay tuned," or "a second book is in discussion, get in on that today!" or something. These are small accomplishments relatively speaking, but they give an air of activity and accomplishment that draws in more.

As I said, I couldn't find any verifiable facts that generally everyone would approve with. If you could get me a few I could incorporate them.

Great, please do keep them coming if you are so inclined. Hopefully it inspires more people to do so also. If anybody wants too, then make up some Coalition to Extend Life Span flyers, Longevity Meme, Campaign for Aging Research, Methuselah Foundation, Mprize, Mfuri, folding at home, sens4, sunday evening update, and other flyers also. Those are some that I can think of, Im sure there are at least twice that many more. If we use ones from other organizations for anything official then we'll get them appoved first. Once HEALES gains some substance then a lot of people will be looking for those too. A couple of us are working on compiling ads, articles, creative writing, short stories, book excerpts and interactive things like sign up forms and petitions for a zine or potentially a magazine. If we can get some journalistic communications major type people in on this then it may very well spin off into a regular quarterly type thing, but at the very least we want to get some made up in a timeless sort of way with out to many date sensitive things in it so that we can get them out there to end up laying around places were people can pick up on the concepts.

The very basic framework of that zine project is on line 21 of this projects list rough draft. If anybody wants to ad to that then please do. It will be moving to its official imminst wiki spot in LEEEP, on the same line, #21, very shortly.

As I said, I couldn't find any verifiable facts that generally everyone would approve with. If you could get me a few I could incorporate them.


Ill keep thinking about this. I would try the conference and book idea. Word them however you want that seems best if you use them. If anybody else has any ideas for informational indicators of accomplishement then please list them. Also please list slogans that you think would go well on posters if you dont have a good picture or know how to put them on a picture, and list pictures that you think would make good posters that you think would be great for people to put slogans too.

If somebody can then please put that stuff in reply number 30 here on that picture. Im not sure how to. I went out and spent $100 on adobe photo and video a couple of years ago but the video disk wouldnt download and apparently Im really not savvy at all when it comes to figuring out the mileau of options in the photoshop. I would have to take a class on it just to figure out the basics.

If somebody could redo some of the themes and posters at this ww11 posters link that would provide another large pool of great flyers for the cause.

I thought this was an awsome poster. This would make an impactful theme for the cause. If somebody wants to convert it then please do. We are forming a team of people to do this regularily. If your interested then let us know. We will add you to the team member list and publish your name in the imminst newsletter amongst other places.

I wrote some stuff yesterday that I thought would also make a good flyer so Im including it here.

If somebody wants an idea for something to make, try a person with a head that looks like the earth, holding a hockey stick, a puck that says imminst with the logo on it close to the focus of the page, then the grim reaper defending the goal, and in the back of the goal you can see a universe background. Then in different corners of the flyer put these quotes:

"The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." -Eden Philpotts

"100% of the shots we dont take dont go in." -Wayne Gretski

Then somewhere on the page put,

"The world lines up, the grim reaper defends, the goal is indefinity, the buzzer is winding down, the crowd goes wild, the universe waits patiently.........................................."

I think it would work great for certain demographics. Especially to life extensionists and transhumanists, and to the world down the road when the cause is more mainstream.

Jml, I tried some of these posters out that you made. Ive been putting them up for a while now, been meaning to ask you if you can make a version of them all with a larger logo and wording. It shows up blurry and hard to read in all but the clearest of my copies, and it some times gets cut off depending on the printer or machine.

Could you make a photo of them, so I can see the result?
I can make the text and logo larger and post them again (versions 2)
