Dimension - (4 feet x max 12 feet OR 3 feet x max 12 feet). Have it done before Put-In!
The Drop Poster can go one of two ways.
1) You get a long sheet of butcher paper (max dimensions are 4 feet x 12 feet) and just write the show information on it in HUGE letters.
2) You can make a smaller digital design and have the Pub Manager contact Rinaldi (MIT Theater Arts) about possibly using their Plotter to print your drop poster (at $1 per square foot). Be aware that the max height the Plotter prints is 3 feet. The 12 feet wide rule still applies.
Tech Ads
Student groups get 80 free column-inches of Ad space in The Tech each year. After you or the publicity manager confirms with the Tech what dimensions are appropriate and keep in mind this ratio: 1 column inch = 2 inches in the width. The dimensions for your ads will be dependent on whether or not you're putting in two ads and how the pub manager wants to distribute the free ad inches. I think it's best to just remake the final show poster in the Tech Ad dimensions because it should be familiar and at this point the show will be very near so the ad should just emphasize that people should reserve their tickets. Again, you can make more designs if you're so inclined.
