Accessing Poster Designs

Previous poster designs have been created using Canva, an online app. Such posters can be accessed by logging into WARG’s Canva account, with the email address of uw.warg@gmail.com.

Printing Poster Designs (Using Canva)

Export the Canva poster as a pdf, with it being flattend. Canva will create a RGB pdf, which we can use a RGB-to-CMYK PDF converter online so it is more suitable for printing out. After downloading it as a pdf file and converting it to CMYK using some random online tool, it is ready to be printed out.

For the S23 term, posters were created to recruit Operations member. The posters were printed out using the Self Serve W Print Kiosk, https://wstore.uwaterloo.ca/wprint . The posters were printed at DC (Davis Center), in the library. To print through W Print, select the following option after clicking “Submit a Job”:

This options allows to print a coloured single side page. Each page costs $0.45, with a maximum number of 10 pages (total of $4.50). After this step, you should be asked how many pages to print and to submit the pdf to print (you select the poster pdf). When it is ready to print, you should be able to select a printer. If you are in the DC library with the printers, it should be labelled something along the lines of “dc-printer-X”, where X is the printer number. After selecting the appropriate printer and not sending it some wrong printer, you should get multiple posters printed out .

Putting up Posters

CONRAD

The CONRAD space can be found on the second floor of E7 (Engineering 7). For the first recruitment run, posters were given directly to the person at the front desk. They should be pretty chill about it, they did not really have any rules or requirements.

SAF

The SAF office can be found on the 3rd floor of the new Hagey Hall building. Reach out to k2petsch@uwaterloo.ca, or bring in posters to their front desk.

DP (Dana Porter)

Bring in copies to the front desk. They must be approved/stamped, which after they will put up the posters themselves.

MC

To put up posters around MC, they must be approved/stamped by MathSOC which can be found on the 3rd floor of MC (MC 3038). They accept either four (4) A4-sized posters, or two (2) bigger posters. They did not really specify the size of the bigger posters, but either way I would recommend maximizing the amount of posters (choose the four posters option).

They will put up the posters themselves.

SLC

SLC has the same process as MC. Go to their Turnkey Desk to hand the posters to them, to which they will approve/stamp and put the posters themselves as well.

Science Buildings [B1, B2, C2, EIT, ESC, PHYS, STC*]

In order to put up the posters in the mentioned science buildings, they must be approved/stamped by the Science Society which can be found in STC 1023, nearby the Starbucks in STC.

Below are the following rules for putting up posters in said buildings:

The Science Society will ask what the event date is, which is a bit of an issue considering the posters do not have an event date (it runs until end of term… or forever). For the first recruitment run, SciSoc gave 1 month for the posters which had no date.

Enviroment Buildings [EV1, EV2, E3]

A maximum of 10 posters can be put up. These posters have to be stamped by the ESS (Enviroment Student Society), where their office can be found in EV1-138A. To reach out to ESS on putting up posters, you can reach out to president.ess@uwaterloo.ca or es-VPOF@uwaterloo.ca (VP Operations).

You can email them the pdf of the poster, and they can print it out (coloured) and put it them around the Enviroment buildings with high studetn traffic.
