A plea or a gripe-depends where you are
Mon, 13 Oct 2008, 11:50 amThis is a plea which may well sound inconsequential or not worth bothering about and may well bring down the wrath of God on my head but..........
To everyone who designs/makes-up/is responsible for Posters
Please. Please PLEASE include the year of production in your designs.
Now this may sound obvious/trite/not worth bothering about BUT I do assure you that in time to come when some poor soul is trying to make sense of the archives (which are usually in a mess when some brave person decides to get them in some kind of order) it saves much frustration and hair-pulling out.
And this is where I get myself into more trouble- the design is not as important as the basic information-WHAT-WHERE-WHEN-HOW MUCH-WHERE DO I GET TICKETS
OK off my soap-box
This is a good point Norma,
Thu, 16 Oct 2008, 12:48 pmThis is a good point Norma, since your topic came up, I checked a few posters, flyers & even old programmes.
Sure enough no year dates were on them anywhere?
As an aside I also thought back on posters I have seen being valued on the Antique Road Shows. Unless they had a copyright symbol & the date year in Roman numerals. They had difficulties in dating them, only referring to about or around a few years in an approximate era or whatever.
Your right we are slack & I don't understand why we don't just put the year - it is only usually two numbers after all!
