However, in the spirit of everyone’s favourite 80s action hero… OK in the spirit of everyone’s 6th favourite 80s action hero, I decided to MacGyver some up. Scrabbling around the studio I found a bunch of Avery labels, a scalpel, a pile of old leaflets/brochures and the trusty Samsung ML-1670 laser printer. Queue musical montage in which I narrowly avoid slicing my fingertip off whilst trimming random bits of promo material down to size, take eight attempts to get the ML-1670 and Avery labels to see eye to eye and combine it all to create a low-fi, no-budget weapon of self promotion that would make the A-Team jealous. Now all I need is a mullet.
