W.I.P Labs

W.I.P Print Shop / Make your own

Print Studio

Make your own poster or merch from photographs of W.I.P Labs productions and the shows of W.I.P alt.FEST. Pick a photograph, set it in the style of a century of gig bills, ballroom posters, jazz sleeves and hand-painted cinema hoardings, and we print it as a vinyl poster in A3, A2 or A1, or put it on clothing, a tote, mug, notebook, badge, cassette or anything else in the shop, and we print it and send it to you.

Preview. Your print is made from the full-size original photograph.

About the styles

The styles are our own designs, drawn from the ways posters have been made: letterpress concert bills, the ballroom posters of the late 1960s, modernist jazz sleeves, Swiss festival grids, cut-paper film posters, Bombay's hand-painted hoardings, Belle Époque lithographs, public works silkscreens, photocopied punk flyers and 1970s airbrush. None of them reproduces a particular poster.

Posters of W.I.P Labs productions come in all ten styles. Shows by other artists at W.I.P alt.FEST come as festival posters, in the concert bill and festival grid styles, credited to the artists. Every poster carries the W.I.P Labs and W.I.P alt.FEST logos.

The photographs are from the W.I.P Labs archive; the work and credit of every artist shown remain theirs. If you appear in a photograph and would rather it were not offered as a print, write to info@wipcollective.in and we will take it down.
