Poster competition

[sarah]

Well everyone should be aware of Tesco selling soft-shelled turtles in China.

Well Desdemona has come up with a brilliant idea of making designing posters to go in the back of peoples cars the make people aware that this is happening and basically telling them to shop else where and where to go to complain.

We will run this for a week? and see how it does then we will go to vote so come on everyone!

Go here to find out more about this horrible trade

had a play a did a poster but how do I get it on here?

[sarah]

Did you do it on microsoft word, publisher? May be instead of making a poster people could just come up with a logo e.g

did you know...

IN CHINA TESCO SELL ENDANGERED TURTLES

Help stop this cruel trade by contacting .....
spread the word

[rodneypig]

How about changing Tesco's own slogan of "every little helps" to "every little one hurts".
Just a thought, sorry I'm not artistic enough to design anything!

[newforestmum]

here is my second attempt

I think people have come up with some brilliant posters! You're really a talented bunch. But please remember that lots of people don't know anything about this, so you need to get acroos that Tescos are selling these turtles for food, that they are live in the stores and killed at the point of purchase (some of the posters just say that Tesco's are selling turtles, and most people could think they are selling them as pets -- like they sell other non-food items).

Great poster, Josh! I think it gets the message across really well, and I like the fact that you've used the Tesco colours and typeface.

Nina
P.S. One small thing - 'boycott' needs a second 't'.

[tortoise_dude]

Done the extra "t" I have also made the other writing stand out abit.
I was going to have a pack of tesco finest bacon with turtles edited into it- with the quote in facy writing as if it was like a promotion, but it never looked right, so i made the wallet thing.http://upload4.postimage.org/804481/Tescoposter_1_.jpg (http://upload4.postimage.org/804481/photo_hosting.html)

[nina]

Well, Josh, yours is my favourite so far -- I think it looks very professional. A couple of other tweaks I would suggest:

1. You either need a 'y' in 'they' (in the phrase 'approach they take to it'), or you could make it shorter and punchier by just shortening that line to 'This is their slap-dash approach'.
2. The quote. You have to be so careful with these things because they have legal implications. I checked the TT website, and that quote isn't from Tesco, it's from an article in a magazine and is a quote from someone working in the food trade. So I think you need to attribute the quote in the same way they did on the TT website ( Culture vs. Cruelty by Karla Solheim, Mother Jones Magazine, San Francisco. March 2000). You only need to put it in the smallest typeface possible, either underneath the quote, or with an asterisk at the end of the quote and another asterisk at the bottom of the poster with the reference. If you don't put any reference to the source of the quotation, Tesco could take legal action by saying that the implication of the poster was that this is a quote from them.
3. I think Tesco in the final line needs a capital T (but you might have meant this to be lower case for effect).

None of the above is meant as a criticism and, as I said, I think yours is the best so far - it captures your attention and the image is powerful. It's just that I used to work in publishing and proof-reading is sort of in my blood, so I can't help but notice typos, etc. everywhere (it's a bit of a curse <g>).

hi like ur poster alot tort dude..
this may be just me but havent tesco got like a copyright on there brand and logo and could u get into trouble for useing it?

luv becks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[tortoise_dude]

I have updated it a a little bit, thanks for helping me nina, don't worry, i didn't take it as critism, i took it as constructive critism, because i wouldn't have noticed without you pointing it out, also, i have put "tesco logo copyright to tesco.com" like the people have on the google stie i got it from, so i should be covered :)
When do we go to the vote?
