Convention Posters/Signage

So I'm going to be going to SPX this year after a few years of just sticking to little local cons. I really want to up my game for this one presentation wise which has me thinking 'front of the table poster??'

If anyone has any sort of sign or poster they use as part of their con display I'd love to see it. I'm not even sure if I'd want to put the title of my webcomic or my own name since I have other comics too or WHAT, so I'm just trying to get some ideas.

Right now I'm just picturing something small for the front of the table since I have limited space and have to travel, but if anyone has a more complex set up feel free to share those as well. And any tips on the technical printing/displaying stuff would be great too, as you can see in my doodle I apparently plan on scotch taping it to the tablecloth which probably will not work.

Definitely won't... I've never done a con but... Maybe you could stitch it in the corners real quick ?

@Marvin Oooh that's a good idea. I could bring my travel sewing kit and do that during set up probably.

This was mine from last Fan Expo! Granted, as you can see, i had a full table space, so my set up for this year's TCAF where I have 1/3rd a table will be vastly different, haha. I've swapped out the banners in my standing display for one long one to set up behind me with the most important info at the top. I don't think I'll be adding another one to the front of the table this time.

I like that you put your name and your comic name on the banner, I might steal that
I'd be interested to see how you condense since you really have a full display set up going on!

Thanks! And go right ahead! : D

Yeah TCAF is all comics related, so my little comic corner will become the focus instead!

The way I did it at another book-only convention was my fun experiment toward that...

It looks so dark but outdoor conventions are fickle with lighting like that, haha! These are all my comics and webcomic specific items. I... have a lot of merchandise...
