Do you offer to pay them in exposure? Or do you offer them actually money commensurate with the work and skill they provide?
replyBecause if it’s the latter we’re back to money being the barrier. And if it’s the former you should go and check with your local artists how much they love working for exposure.
Yes, running an event has work and expenses involved in it. An AI slop poster is a sign the event is not serious and has other more major issues under the surface.
replyIt’s a local craft fair. By every reasonable definition of the word, it’s not serious.
replyI assume you haven’t lived in a village before? These fairs have absolutely no money, and often not even much time as it’s fully volunteer led
replyMaking a poster is free and easy. Literal children do it in school.
replyI’ve made posters for events. Affinity is free now, it takes you like an hour to learn it from scratch and make your poster. If you couldn’t be bothered doing that, then that’s a signal the event itself is low effort slop. I'm not sure why people are acting like it's impossible to run an event without AI tools that literally didn't exist until right now.
