Car Show Poster: Draft

[SCW-Greg]

Today was Science Day at the local elementary my kids attend. There were a whole bunch of different presentations kids could sign up for.

I did a presentation on electric vehicles that first included a PowerPoint presentation, and then we went outside to check out my P85+.

I did three sessions.

Hey, right on!

Sorry I haven't checked in on this thread in a while.
Probably could use some updates to the poster, as mentioned. Model E instead of III.

This is a great poster and I used a version of it at my first car show. But in watching people view the poster, I noticed that it had too much info and text for most people to absorb. So like several other folks here, I tweaked it a bit to reduce the amount of text, and I increased the text and graphics sizes. Then I made a different and more graphic-oriented poster to illustrate the car components that aren't visible to the eye, and now I use both at shows. These previews are greatly reduced in size and quality.

The full-size versions are 24 x 36 inches each and are available at:

Edit: Oops, I noticed that the Model X said "Optional AWD", whereas now it is standard. I updated the full-size version, though not this preview.

Kirk, love it!
Especially the internal graphics version.

Going to download and print that one!

Nice job Kirk!

One of the kids at Science Day was looking at my P85+ and said, "I wanted a Lamborghini, but now I want this car instead!"

Great job Kirk. Is there an easy way to edit it if we wanted to customize something?

For Charging maybe write
From empty: 4-9 hours (240V/40-80A)
25-50 miles of range/hour charging

Kirkp: Those are great. They strike a nice balance between being easy to read and informative.

 

[kirkp]

Thanks guys. It's hard to make decent generalizations on the technical info like charging times and cost, etc., without getting too bogged down in the details on a poster. But I'll be happy to send the source files to anyone who wants them if you PM me. I did them in Pages (iWork '09), so you'll need a Mac to edit or convert them.

 

[SCW-Greg]

Yeah Pages is great.
If you can make that file available too.
Call out any special fonts needed.

Ok, no problem. Here are both Pages source files zipped together, they use Helvetica, LiHei Pro, Gill Sans MT, and Helvetica Neue fonts: https://db.tt/hW98RyrU

I made some changes to the fantastic poster that Greg designed, this one is geographically neutral (does not identify closest service center or gallery) so anyone can use it. I also added some more quotes about the car under "awards and accolades" and more items under "benefits of driving an EV." The file size is gigantic, around 38M, so if anyone wants a copy of it in the full size for printing, just PM me and I will get it to you:

Leliani, Thanks for your contribution to Tesla Community. I used your poster in a recent local car show and came out with the First Prize. Your contribution is sincerely appreciated.

I believe such a response is called:

Anyone happen to have an updated poster with P85D information?

 

[brucet999]

Awards list - actually an accolade not an award - Consumer Reports wrote "...best car we've ever tested"

 

[sickfox]

congats!!! :biggrin:

 

[stephenpace]

Does anyone have a version updated for 2015? If so, can you PM me the location? I've been using Lelani's poster for a while and it is great, but it needs a refresh.

 

[dsm363]

Agree. Anyone have the graphic design skills to update it and share it with TMC?
