LOOK! I Have Ads That You Can Use!

[bigpathpaul]

I know that's a lame intro, but I don't know what else to say.

I've been posting here only since Sunday. Everyone here, without exception, has been warm and welcoming.

I've been writing and designing ads to keep alive issues and to compare and contrast the candidates. I've included low-resolution versions of some of my ads in my posts. Without exception, people have been kind in their praise of the materials. I won't deny this has helped my ego, but I will say that I am charged up and gratified that I may have found something potentially useful to people. Hits on my website went from 700 before I joined 4 days ago to over 23,000 as of this morning, all because of DU!

With that said, below are some samples. If you think they're useful:
1. Let me know. I'll keep making more.
2. Let other people know about them.
3. Help me figure out the best ways to get them out there.
4. I'm open to any and all (legal) ideas. Advice, criticism, whatever.
5. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

















The ads above, as well as others, are available as free, full-size, high-resolution JPEG or PDF downloads on my web site at http://www.bigpath.net. I hope you'll find them useful, and if you do, please forward, print, post, handout, carrier pigeon them to as many people as you can.

1. These are great!

I'm hoping to print some up to take to my local Democratic headquarters. Those folks appreciate efforts like this!

2. These are great.

Do you do this professionally? If not - you should.

9. Professional Graphic Designer. Amateur at Politics

I started designing these to try to vent some of my frustration. It actually made me more frustrated, because no one was seeing them except for, like, 20 friends and relatives.

A friend I met on http://mediamatters.org/ suggested DU, and the rest is history. Thanks for your support.

3. awesome work

:hi:

[slinkerwink]

4. those ads are awesome!

[bigpathpaul]

10. I nominate the hamster for Head of the EPA!

[CitySky]

5. BE-YOO-TI-FUL!

These are magnificent. Have read your website, and like the "Likely Story" one too.

What sort of legal entity is BigPath? Can you figure out some way to reaise $$$ to buy ad space in magazines? These would be great magazine ads. Or hook up with an existing 527 and do that?

12. A Brief History of BigPath

It's not a legal entity. Perhaps it should be. Any lawyers out there offering free advice?

A few months ago I started looking for a new domain name. I tried about a hundred different words in different combinations and found BigPath was available. I wanted something that didn't sound completely embarrassing like twinklewoods.com.

6. nominated for homepage

these are all MAGNIFICENT!!!

you must spread these far and wide.

:party:

[Democrat 4 Ever]

7. Beautiful, well done, and wonderful

Please make sure you send these to the DNC, moveon.org., Air America, and all the other pro-Kerry organizations, these need to get out.

I will be printing them up and distributing them locally.

Wouldn't these make great t-shirts!

[bigpathpaul]

13. And You Must Help Me.

Thanks.

Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Definitely tell your enemies.

8. very good job!

I like the graphics. bookmaked your site too.

[blondeatlast]

11. Excellent! I'm co-hosting a district meet and greet soon

and will print these and prominently display them!

Since my m&g is for Dems only, I would LOVE to see a couple more focusing on Kerry, if possible--morale boosters for the troops, ya know.

Very nicely done--keep it up!

[bigpathpaul]

14. Definitely More Pro-Kerry Coming

The problem is the Anti-Bush ones are a lot more fun!

Part of it is just a matter of not having enough time. Maybe if I drop all my clients and start accepting donations...

[gollygee]

15. WOW ! (m)

no advice but I wanted to give a compliment on your work. Those are very powerful.

[Beaverhausen]

16. Excellent ads!

Thanks and welcome! :yourock:

[MoonRiver]

17. bigpathpaul

:yourock: and that includes your art! :bounce:

[chimpymustgo]

18. Welcome to DU!! These are excellent!

I was really struck by the Kerry/Lincoln association ad. Nice.

[rocktivity]

19. You should do one titled "Draft"

And give an overview of what Bush already has in mind for next spring. It will affect everyone up to age 24 and there will be no deferments. And don't fall for the "critical skills" crap--if this is anything like Bush's "clear skies initiative," breathing unassisted will become a critical skill!

26. Working on One for the Draft

There was a post yesterday on the draft plans. Does anyone have that or other links with supporting documentation.

When it's done, would like to find people to help me spread it to college campuses, if possible.

Please send email through DU or respond here or Contact link on http://www.bigpath.net.

Thanks!

[Misskittycat]

20. Please create more!

I'm going to use them canvassing. These are great.

Locally, we're trying to create handouts, and it's very difficult to create something visually appealling and punchy.

DUers, we need more of this type of material.

[bigpathpaul]

27. Help me with topics and distribution

Thanks to everyone for support here at DU. I have a bunch of topics I'm working on such as:

1. In 2000, over fifty million eligible women did not vote (from http://actforvictory.org/)
2. Hopefully a series on Republicans in the Shadows: Hiding Tom DeLay and others to pretend they are a moderate party.
3. The tax cut fiction: I need help with stats on this one.
4. The DRAFT

More as I have time...

This one is new as of last night

[bigpathpaul]

This may be getting boring, but I love this place!!!
