From the #media2012 website:<\/p>\n

#media2012 operates a self accrediting process. To create your own accreditation, you have three choices.<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. I LIKE A CHALLENGE:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0If you have access to some creative design software, then you can download the PDF file. You can then add your photograph digitally, along with your details on the reverse, print out, fold and laminate. If you want to make it more professional, just send the edited graphic to a design shop and you can get a good job done for around \u00a35.<\/li>\n
  2. KEEP IT SIMPLE:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0If you do not have access to design software or are not confident, then we have a template laid out in Microsoft Powerpoint. All you need to do is open the file \u2013 you can also open it in Open Office \u2013 then insert your name and details into the text fields. You can then print out and add a physical photograph in the appropriate place. Once you\u2019ve done this, you can also go to have it laminated at a shop for peanuts.<\/li>\n
  3. THE IDIOT\u2019S GUIDE:<\/strong>\u00a0If you don\u2019t even want to print and you are lucky enough to have received a print edition of\u00a0the #media2012 Charter,<\/a>\u00a0you will find a cut-out card copy on the rear cover.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: don\u2019t skip on the lamination. This will get battered about during Games time and the more professional it looks, the more useful it will be.<\/h3>\n
