After FAIR learned that activists were printing off infographics and using them as fliers, we started designing infographics to fit on 8.5x11 paper.

Creating Visual Content

• How do you handle user generated content?• Do you need a graphic designer on staff?• How do you create content with a limited

budget?• Designing for your audience-how do you

factor in culture and demographics?

What we do well:

• Dynamic use of graphics and visuals from news coverage and museums.

• Ask questions and link to key material in posts.

•Participate in timely trending topics (#AprilFools)

Room for Improvement: • Our CFM blog posts generate an automatic FB post, and we post our Advocacy Alerts

• The basic templates provide visuals for posting, but we could develop much stronger ones for this purpose
