Free Version
It is available as an immediate, completely free download for registered or subscribed users of this website (more details on this below). Simply put, it's worth joining once and have access to all the great free content thereafter. Registration is, of course, free of charge as well.
Extra opportunity: If you prefer not to register but still want to access the free version, there's another option available. Each reference with a free version includes an input field where you can enter your email address and receive a download link directly to your inbox. By choosing this option, you'll be subscribed to my newsletter, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.
You can read more about the difference between the free and PDF version at the bottom of this page.
Patreon Membership
Becoming a member entails joining as a supporter on Patreon at any tier except the Free tier. Once you become a member, you gain immediate access to the entire database of PDF references, where I publish new entries on the "as I go" basis, that is, as soon as I produce them. And that's a benefit in itself because you have access to content before I complete the series. This is in contrast to bundles, which I can only create once I finish the planned set of posters.
Summary:
- Immediate access to everything.
- All future content while you are a member.
- All updates to existing content while you are a member.
- All PDFs are downloadable, so you get to keep them even when/if you decide to cancel your membership.
- Direct support of everything I do and release.
- Access to the member-only posts.
- You can cancel your subscription/membership at any time.
- Account creation on Patreon is required to become a supporter, however, you can just log in with your Google/Apple/Facebook account, so it's a breeze.
Online Shops
Patreon Shop Ko-Fi Shop Gumroad Shop Buy Me A Coffee Shop
All shops enable instant one-time purchases without the need for registration or subscription to monthly plans.
Here posters are offered in bundles, each containing two versions tailored to your preferences: one long PDF file with all charts, and multiple smaller PDF files organized into folders. This is the fastest and most convenient way to get all references of interest at once, as a single download. However, a bundle is packaged only when I complete the planned set of posters.
Just a heads-up: If you're shopping through the Patreon Apple iOS app, there's an additional fee of 43%! It's pretty steep, I know, but that's Apple's policy for selling through their platform—not Patreon's or mine. To avoid this fee, feel free to use any other options: web, Android, or other marketplaces listed on this page.
What's the Difference Between PDF and a Free Version?
PDF Version
Vector: This means the content is scalable, so no blurry, hard-to-read charts or text no matter how much you zoom in. This same property is what actually allows you to take any PDF to your local printing service and print out a larger copy of the reference with zero reduction in quality. I also do not embed any rasterized images, which would defeat the purpose of creating PDFs in the first place. I take this seriously and all my PDFs are 100% vector graphics.
For supporters: PDFs are reserved for supporters of my work. But here's the great news: support doesn't always mean a financial commitment. In fact, you can receive original PDFs completely free of charge simply by sharing a link.
My heros: As for financial support, for which I would be very grateful to you, check out all the options listed on this page. Options include monthly subscription as well as one-time, no-commitment purchases.
Printer-friendly: In addition to the color version, all posters come with grayscale (black/white) printer-friendly PDFs. These versions are designed to conserve your ink/toner while ensuring you can see and read everything clearly. Plus, you won't lose any important details—what's conveyed with colors in the original version is preserved in the grayscale printout.
Free Version
PNG: It's a non-scalable rasterized version of the original poster, typically provided in PNG format. Despite being non-scalable, it boasts higher resolution than any preview image currently available on the website. Additionally, the PNG ensures lossless compression, preserving all original graphics.
Good for electronic device: While this version isn't intended for printing due to its lower PPI (pixels per inch), it's perfect for exploring on your device's screen. However, for the best experience, I highly recommend getting high-quality, scalable vector version. With this version, you can zoom in without any loss of quality and print it out on your home printer. That is the entire goal of my work here, i.e. I want you to always have it close at hand in physical form.
Missing goodies: Free version does not include any additional content that may come with the full-package version, such as the printer-friendly version.
I Need Your Help
If you've read this far, I'd like to take a moment to share a personal message with you. You may have noticed that I don't run ads on my website. I don't like them (mildly speaking), and I have no intention of adding them in the future. I also don't promote any third-party products or share affiliate links. I simply love what I do with Musician Poster, and I want to keep creating more helpful content for you. I value my visitors and I want you to have Ad-free and non-biased experience.
However, to sustain this in its current form, I need your help. That's why I've created a Patreon page and other ways for you to support my work, which you can find listed on this page. If you believe in the content I create, find value in it, and wish to support the ongoing addition of more content, I would be grateful for your membership in the Patreon community, or if you choose to make a purchase from my shops. Additionally, one of the most effective ways you can support my work is simply by sharing the links to this website. It makes a huge difference!
Thank you for your support!
