Do you need help making your events, advocacy posts, or mutual aid graphics look better, be more actionable, and reach more people?
๐จ Come learn about:
- What design is and why it matters
- What to get clear on before you start designing something
- Basic principles of visual design and layout

- Other things to consider when designing social media graphics
โ Agenda:
2-3 pm PT: Workshop and training
3-3:30 pm PT: I'll redesign a few submitted social graphics live to show examples of how to improve them. Submit a link to your social graphics when you register to be considered, or DM @mollyampersand on Instagram!
๐ Note on security
I may record the workshop portion of the event to share with others, but I will make sure no names, videos, or personal information of attendees will be shared with recording.
The live social graphics redesign portion of the event will NOT be recorded.
Registration requires your email so I can send you the zoom link, and requires a name, but you can put whatever you want in that field. Feel free to be off-video on Zoom and change your Zoom name (I'll share how before I record) if that makes you feel more comfortable on the call.
Suggested donation $10-30 to Bilal in Gazaโs GoFundMe.
No one turned away for lack of funds.
