Dont Be Stupid – Typographic Poster for Free Download
Don’t Be Stupid Typographic Poster
Here we have a new typographic based poster design, free for download, based on one of my favourite quotes. Have been fond of this quote for years, and have used it numerous time in my personal blogs. Every now and again I see someone tweeting it, so I thought time to make it into a nice poster. To immortalize these well meaning words in printed and digital form : “The probability of somebody watching you is proportional to the stupidity of your actions.”
Download on Flickr
You can download the A3 JPEG version of this poster direct via Flickr, so you can throw darts at it or wipe you’re bottom with it.
Download Adobe CS Vector File
Or you can download the original Adobe Illustrator CS vector file, with text converted to outline. I have saved as the lowest version of Adobe CS, so whatever version of CS you use, this should work.
If you do edit this poster, please just leave my logo in the footer as the original credit, thank you.
Fonts
The poster was set entirely in Prelo Slab Black, a gorgeous Slab-Serif, a new font recently downloaded and purchased from TypeTrust.com
If you have $550 to spare you can buy the whole family as shown below.

Lovely! Just loverly but there is a gramatical error no? …stupidity of you’re actions. translates to stupidity of you are actions. Should it not be, stupidity of your actions.
so true–let’s get on the grammatical bus folks!
The stupidity of your actions are apparent?
Probably…
Hey guys poster text should be “your actions” – not “you’re (you are) actions” :)
..well apparently I’m 7 minutes late on this. retracting comment.
Hey that was fast! Don’t forget the body text in the post!
ALl done and sorted super quickly, all variations and locations there of amended. :)
I love the poster, any chance of getting a cs2 version (yes I know I’m going a bit oldschool)
You’re using JPEG for line art? JPEG is for photography guys. Try PNG, GIF or PDF.
but a cool poster nonetheless… I should have said that first :/
Hence why i make it available for download as vector for the purists amongst us. JPEG just easy to quick and dirty uploading and optimising for my blog and Flickr. :)
do you have CS3 ?
I will save versions for .88 , CS, CS2 and CS3 and add them to the post above sometime soon. :)

I thought the grammar error was intentional – a way of making the point. If I were you, I’d add it back in. Either way, beautiful poster. Thanks!
No, it wasn’t intentional, but I see the humor in leaving it in.
Nice, maybe I’ll make it my desktop background.
That’s a cool idea actually, I will make a desktop size version for download also. Cheers.
Prelo is from Dino dos Santos (DSType.com), and he’s also portuguese. It’s seems that you’re getting pretty much of a portuguese type scene fan, huh? ;)
Oh right, no idea with the geography aspect, that’s pretty neat.
It is sound like my personal motto. Amazing¡¡¡¡¡
What, you’re personal motto is ‘dont be stupid’? Awesome. Does it work?

As designers, we should always pay attention to the details in our work. Since we’re in the business of communicating, I think grammar IS important. It’s okay to mess up but I don’t think it’s helpful to play it off like the grammar isn’t important.
Getting legitimately mad about mistakes in grammar and typos is silly though. If your life is that boring, try going outside.
