Displays
Create attractive displays from Amnesty posters, flyers, appeal postcards, banners and bookmarks.
- Organize your display around a few strong visual images.
- Focus attention on a simple, clear message using a few words.
- Use a limited selection of attractive colours.
- Tell a human story by using "Amnesty Works!" or other posters, or create your own visual images and stories based on Amnesty information.
- Include Amnesty International's widely-recognized name and our candle in barbed wire symbol.
- Include our website (www.amnesty.ca) or our 1-800-AMNESTY number - and make these easy to see.
