April 9, 2023:

One of the more interesting retro Macintosh artists, Dana Sibera aka NanoRaptor, has set about reproducing the original Apple UCSD Pascal Poster, in print ready format with the original crops and bleeds as well as at the original size.

The Apple UCSD Pascal Poster was originally produced in 1979 and was designed by the father of the Macintosh, Jef Raskin and well known San Francisco artist and creator of the Rainbow Apple, Tom Kamifuji. The poster, long considered one of the holy grails of Apple Computer Inc.’s rise to popularity, has rarely been seen in perfect condition.

According to Jef Raskin’s specifications for the poster, “The original poster was 22 by 34 inches and printed on heavy stock, with a flat black background and semi-gloss colors.” (credit to HHackenbecker for pulling the quote).

Now the entire poster is available for download and reproduction in both PDF and SVG formats. The files have been made available as a free download allowing anyone now to own a copy. And for those who are thinking they will make a killing on selling them as originals, Dana has a little trick up the proverbial sleeve saying, “spot the hidden bunny!”

April 11, 2023: Dana decided that the colors of the final product were not vibrant enough and has released a version 2 of the poster. You can download the v2 from here.

April 11, 2023: For those of you not on the imperial system, there is now an A1 Size version of the poster thanks to the extraordinary talents of Dana Sibera. The poster in this version is 594×841 at the crops, with ~12.5mm taken up by the bleed and crops (3mm actual bleed of the black background). Also this version has the up arrows replaced with carets as in the original Black and White poster reference poster. You can download the A1 Sized Version 3 poster from here.
