press & advertising

There’s been some confusion about the exchange parameters. Think of it like trading baseball cards. You’ve got to have one in order to get one. These are NOT business card sized. They MUST be 4×6 inches (you can always print larger and cut down if your printer doesn’t do those measurements). The idea is that you can collect, put them in binders or frame on your wall. Rules are as follows:

• MUST be your own work. Prints or originals are a-0kay.
• MUST be 4×6!
• MUST include all the letters of the alphabet. Whether it’s just an alphabet or a pangram is up to you.
• MUST be traded for another card! If you’re afraid of running out, bring loads! 250 would likely be sufficient, but overkill perhaps. I’ll be bringing 100.
• MUST have your info on the back! See below for guidelines.

The front of the design can be as simple as your own hand written, center justified. Feel free to hand-write each one or make copies. High quality copies on nice cardstock are preferred.

But feel free to play into your niche with illustrations, color, style, layout, etc! Tell us who you are as a calligrapher through your pangram. The above is a quick example I slapped together, not my final design.

On the back, put IAMPETH 2015 Pangram Exchange (we want to do this every year!), Your name, Instagram handle (because stalking each other on IG is super fun) and number your pieces. I personally plan to print out 100. I think that will be sufficient. Keeping a limited run (if printing is your thing) makes it far more fun (scarcity!!!!!).

I hope you’ll join in on the fun this year! I can’t wait to see you in Franklin!
