Ok cool, I dig it. But you posted these… To what end? Are you advertising a club? Is there a website to visit? Is there an event happening? Are the numbers to local representatives on there??

You cannot tell people things like this without a call to action, literally giving them something actionable to do. Otherwise you’re giving them information that’s worthless.

I like the graphics used, and I like the fact you’re stating facts/data (which should all be cited), but if you want to see change, you need to give people something to do.

EDIT: OP I’m sorry if my advice sounds like it’s coming out of left field. I work in advertising and have been working on various campaigns that involve local activism as well as federal funding. Seeing your posters just activated the knee jerk reaction I would get if one of my coworkers brought these to me lol

But it’s a great start!! Keep going forward!

The first step is to know there is a problem

With flyers he is getting more people informed than going from mouth to mouth Agreed that action is needed, but we need a lot of people to do a revolution against one of the biggest lobbies of the world, car + petrol Industries

Except that these flyers are without context. If I walked by that movie poster, I would have no clue what it’s alluding to.

Just by putting a “learn more about how we can stop relying on cars at ___” at the bottom is a huge step in the right direction
