Many of the MMM banners, posters, flyers, and handbills were converted from PDF files to the gif and jpg images found here. The freeware Adobe Acrobat Reader and the freeware IrfanView were used. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html http://www.irfanview.com - IrfanView is a free image editor that is useful for adapting these flyers and banners for your needs. Picasa and Gimp are 2 other highly-rated freeware image editors. Look up their download pages in Google.
GIF image files are usually better for flyers and banners. JPG image files usually require more kilobytes, and are mainly for photos and images with lots of color gradation. IrfanView can easily edit, reduce, or enlarge gif, jpg, and other image formats.
One can use Irfanview to resize and/or compress an image. Compression can reduce the kilobytes dramatically beyond what just reducing an image can do. For example; to compress images for webpages that are to be accessed by dialup users. Download and install the small main program for IrfanView. Then click the image file for the largest most-detailed version you have of an image, or open the image file from the file menu. Then while viewing that image in IrfanView go to the... Image menu. * Click Resize/Resample. * Type in the new width or length. * Be sure to preserve the aspect ratio, or the image will be distorted. * Use standard 75 dpi for web images. Or see http://auctionrepair.com/pixels.html * Click the resample button. Any resample method works well and fast. Then click OK. Then save the newly-resized image. Go to the... File menu. * Click "save as". * Choose jpg as the file format. * Check off "Show options dialog". This allows one to... * Set the save quality (compression level) to 80 in the save options box. * Change the filename for the resized image. * Click "save". See illustrated tutorial: http://www.somewhere-in-time.net/tutorial/irfanview Note: A jpg save quality of 80 usually reduces the kilobytes dramatically without losing too much image sharpness. Experiment to see what compression settings you prefer for various images. It depends on the size and sharpness of the image you are beginning with. Note: Always use a new filename for resized or compressed images, so that you don't overwrite and lose your original image. It is easy to add a number to the original filename. Such as the number for the save quality (compression level) or the resized width. Note: Choose gif as the file format for the resized image if it was the original format and no compression is needed.
Please do not upload the compressed reduced images to this Marihemp image gallery. The gallery editor prefers uncompressed large images up to around 1000 pixels wide. But any size is OK. Just upload what you have! The gallery software creates its own high-quality midsize and thumbnail images from the large images. See the upload page for more info.
One can use IrfanView to create chart images too. From the image menu click the link to create a large empty image. Choose to create a black and white image if you want an image with the least amount of kilobytes. From the edit menu insert text into the image. Paste or type in the chart text. Choose one of the monospaced fonts such as Courier New, etc.. This will make the chart columns line up. From the file menu save the image in gif format. View the image by clicking its filename. You can crop the image further if desired. Select what you want by dragging the cursor while holding down the left mouse key. From the edit menu click "crop selection." Upload your chart images and links to here: http://gallery.marihemp.com/charts - that image gallery also has links to many more charts, stats, etc. that can be used to create even more charts and graphs. This page has links to many charts created with monospaced fonts ready to be converted to chart images: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/y/chartsfocus.htm
A PDF file, or part of one, can be converted to an image file (such as a gif or jpg file). Here's how: Launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on the PDF file. Put the image to its actual size "100%" (or any other size) by clicking on "zoom to" in the view menu. Then click on the "snapshot tool" icon on the toolbar. Select the area you want to convert to an image file, or just right-click the image and then click "select all." Click copy in the edit menu. Newer versions of Adobe Reader automatically copy selections to the clipboard. Launch your image editor (such as the freeware IrfanView). Click "paste" from IrfanView's edit menu to view the image in IrfanView. Click "save as" in the file menu of IrfanView to convert the image to a gif or jpg file.

One can use the commercial program, Adobe Illustrator, to create PDFs. Design the flyer, handbill, banner, or poster, and click "Save As.." Then choose "PDF" from the format options. There is a dialog box that comes up, allowing the adjustment of options for saving. Choose "Save for Print" and that's it.

On the legality of passing out flyers, and hanging posters. Here is info for the USA. Passing out flyers is legal in most public places. Due to the first amendment of the Constitution. It is not legal on private property usually. Such as inside shopping malls, or on the storefront sidewalks inside shopping centers. Posting flyers is usually only legal on designated kiosks, or on designated bulletin boards. People post flyers anyway, though. Just look around to see where lots of flyers are already posted. When posting flyers don't let the police see you. Keep moving. Hide the flyers, staple gun, and glue while walking to the next telephone pole, etc.. If you get caught, plead ignorance. It sometimes works, especially if you are using poles that already have lots of flyers on them. Post a few flyers high up on the telephone poles so they don't get ripped down. Repeat your postings a week before the event. Some people post flyers in the bathrooms of bars and clubs! College bulletin boards are a great place to post small flyers or handbills, and especially the small guarter-sheet flyers. Use small tacks or an open, small, paper stapler for bulletin boards. No glue on bulletin boards, or in/on buildings! One can reach tens of thousands of people with the above methods for only an hour or two of walking around. We are the media! So make your flyers informative and educational too. Use lots of facts, charts, and easy-to-remember links!
