These promotional materials were created for Nottingham Hackspace. You might find these materials useful if you are promoting a hackspace of your own.
{{also|Branding}}
Nottingham Hackspace has a wide range of promotional material. We very much want to encourage people to make their own leaflets and hand outs. We hack everything else, so we should be hacking our publicity!
Below you will find a mix of stuff that you can use for Hackspace promotion.


== Editing these promotional materials ==
The [[Team:Communications|Comms Team]] are responsible for implementing a lot of these graphics and are passionate about making the hackspace look good, if you do use any of the files found below they politely ask that you drop an email to the Google Groups mailing list, or the #Comms [[Slack]] channel, just so we can give it a once over and make sure nothing has been stretched or disproportioned, its not a requirement, but a request.
These promotional can be edited using free software and you are welcome to adapt them to your needs (see [[Copyright]] for details).  For a list of free/open fonts to use in your designs, see [[/Suggested fonts|suggested fonts]].

This is [[File:Hackspace artwork - sharing creative space.svg|available as an SVG file]] that can be edited with [http://www.inkscape.org Inkscape] {{note|this design currently requires the font "Giddyup Std" though, which is not free.}}
===2023 Promotional Flyers===


== A noticeboard for upcoming events ==
* [[Media:2023-promo-card.pdf|Flyer front - PDF]]
TODO: A poster with a large blank area that will be used as a noticeboard to advertise upcoming events at the hackspace (it could be pinned up on a wall at a nearby community centre). It should also include a map (or directions from the community centre to the hackspace) and a brief description of the hackspace.

Video Promotion Materials

Through our social media channels short, or well curated, videos generally do quite well. Here is an example of a Nottinghack Branded Video for the Facebook page. This has been produced using Hitfilm Express which is free to use, although not open source, software.

Historical material

The hackspace has been around for quite a while and has been through many iterations of promotional materials. What you'll find below is an archive of some of our past designs. If you are going to reuse old designs please check that Hackspace Green is being used, see Branding#Hackspace Green.

Posters

Here is a list of print ready PDF posters and notices, the idea is that if we need some more of something you can just grab the files, print them off at home, on the Laser Printers in the hackspace, or organise getting a full print run done.

These are not 'Editable' files, you can find artwork for some of these below in the 'Artwork' section.

If you need a hand with any technical issues (e.g. what kind of paper you should ask for from a print works) then do contact Jake Howe (me@gmjhowe.com)
