Tips and things to consider

Writing copy

If copywriting isn’t your strong point, don’t worry, you can use existing messaging (from the charity) or ask someone who is good with words to help you.

Grab attention

Choose great imagery. We really want to see your creativity. Be mindful of the target market, make sure your images work with your message & are at the right resolution.

Pick a passion

This isn’t just about winning a competition. It’s about spreading awareness and sharing a positive message. Choose a charity or subject you feel passionate about. This passion will come through in your designs.

The prize

The successful winner will receive a creative bundle of goodies, including:

  • Branding in 5 and a half steps – Michael Johnson
  • Book of ideas – Brand Nu
  • Fine line drawing pens

Here is an example, created by our designer, Amy:

Amy wanted to create an eye catching design to promote Stubbington Ark’s fundraising initiative as it is a cause close to her heart. She selected a bright colour palette and created fun illustrations but used text from an existing campaign.
