General Advice
Before getting into specific media , here are a few tips that apply to everything you make for your campaign :
Δ Give yourself plenty of time to make materials . I ’ d recommend starting as early as possible . You don ’ t want to be scrambling to put together your website the day before convention .
Δ Pick a key color or two for your campaign . While not necessary , a consistent color theme will make your materials more cohesive and , more importantly , help them stand out as yours . For example , I used red and gold on my website , flyers , and Meet the Candidates board .
Δ If you have a catchy slogan or acronym , use it ! A fun phrase on your flyers and posters will make your platform all the more memorable . If you have yet to come up with that catchy slogan , think about words that rhyme with your name , all start with the same letter , etc .
Δ Have fun ! While putting together a campaign takes a lot of effort , you should make sure you ’ re enjoying every step of the way .
NO ADHESIVES ( seriously )
Adhesives ( e . g ., stickers ) are prohibited from campaigning . You can still use tape to stick something on a poster you ’ ll be carrying around , but you shouldn ’ t have anything that ’ ll be stuck on clothes , random walls , etc . See the Campaigning Rules for more information .
