Design Tips
  • Choose a simple familiar message that will
    resonate with voters. Dont ask them to think!
  • e.g. she cares, shes a fighter, shes a flip
    flopper
  • Spin but dont lie. Let voters draw their own
    conclusions
  • Colors, Symbols, Slogans are good ways to send
    memorable messages
  • Be original to grab attention!
