@albert_kai would love to include your collage in the new homepage @Julita
there are thousands of photos in google drive. some of the better ones i’ve pulled out into the Happy People folder - although i haven’t updated this for around a year so some more recent ones should be used to. Julita if you find any good ones send me them (whether you use them or not, and i’ll add them to this file for the future)
Albert can you give Julita a guidance on the dimensions, files sizes and formats you want to work with please
@adam great effort on the poster. here’s some feedback;
oh, i guess i won’t cross post. that doesn’t seem to work very well. i’ll just tag @NCaley here as he’s the only copywriter active atm
i think yes with the direction. i think the poster might risk reminding them of the stress of their situation. i’ll see if i can keep the message but use more hopeful language
DO YOU KNOW…
WHERE
YOU’LL
SLEEP
TONIGHT?
DO YOU NEED
HELP FINDING
SOMEWHERE
SAFE TO SLEEP?
WHAT
THE
NEXT MEAL
IS?
A GOOD MEAL?
WHO
YOU CAN
GO TO
FOR
HELP?
(a bit broad and dis-empowering)
A WARM SHOWER?
A WASHING MACHINE?
A FRIENDLY CHAT?
I realise this would be breaking your who, what, where and ‘the answers’ paragraph, which were very nice. perhaps @nick can have a look
no problem, I’ll keep an eye on things and make changes as appropriate.
When the style/direction of this one is nailed down I’ll start working on the coffee shop one too
oh, buddy. that font is even harder to read quickly 
aside from that it looks great, i’m looking forwards to getting it out. i’d suggest having a space under the title and the three paragraphs below. again for increased readability
here’s a good resource i found: http://abacus.bates.edu/~bpfohl/posters/#fonts
the title is actually readable due to its size, so you can leave that unless you think it doesn’t look good when the rest of the text changes
looking at it now, i’m thinking that we need to explain Focallocal as the map is all about the Brighter Tomorrow Map then suddenly we have an unrelated graphic. can you please add;
‘created by volunteers at the Focallocal Positive Action Community’
in small text connected to the logo. then i think the poster is there 
i just had a thought, it should include free and community so
AND SHOWS FREE LOCAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU -
» PLACES TO STAY DURING THE DAY/NIGHT
» FOOD AND DRINK
» WASHING/HEALTH FACILITIES
» SUPPORT GROUPS
» EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
» OFFERS OF KINDNESS FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

Had you had any thoughts about copy for the coffee shop poster for the public?
looks great. can i request a tiny gap under the logo and before the text, then its awesome.
i prepared some thoughts on that poster, let me find them and post here
excellent, well done 
For the Cafe the main message would be that they can help transform the lives of people who are homeless, and it just takes 1 minute. we can make this sound like a challenge.
empowering - we all feel that horrible feeling when walking past someone sleeping on the streets and wanting to do something but not being sure what. charities now say don’t give money. this map empowers the user to make a difference to their lives (in 3 main ways)
theme: happy, bright and hopeful. a ‘brighter’ tomorrow. add the map website, our logo, and user our communities shade of orange in the design
(primary) every time you see a free resource add it to the map
offer kind things you can do to support those in need in your local community
print the map and give it out to people you meet who are homeless (we’ll push this more later. the functionality is only 40% complete right now)
@adam i think this poster needs to have some emotive images. one hopeful and happy with a touch of human connection, one reminder of the reality of sleeping on the streets
i like where you’re coming from here!
i’d say that the text needs to be 2X - 3X bigger everywhere. the most common size this’ll be printed it A4, or as a flyer.
the text is a little hard to read where the two pictures meet in the middle. can you add a little space to each side by moving the text a fraction towards the outside
text edit:
the brighter tomorrow map can lead someone
from sleeping on the streets to a brighter future
perfect 
maybe save the name till later so
we just need people to signpost the way
if you see something today that may help
a rough sleeper - or can provide something
yourself - please let people know about it at
lets add a few examples to help them understand the map:
examples include; showers, support groups, cv/resume help, pass it on coffee, a nice chat over a cup of tea, washing machines, food, etc
the map is printable. hand them out nearby
also, these two should have white backgrounds for readability:
#brightertomorrowmap
the brighter tomorrow map is a project created by volunteers at
the Focallocal Positive Action Community
oh, and i liked your qr code on the last map. can you put it here too?

I had to take some liberties with the text, see what you think
@Adam 1st impression. it looks very busy. that font is difficult to read as the gaps between letters are small
if its set on bold perhaps that can be solved by simply switching bold off. the text on the right side is a little too large for the amount of writing in it. perhaps the text size on the left half is ok and on the right it could be smaller
on the left side i think 3 lines of text is too much to catch someone’s attention
a new tool that can lead someone
from sleeping on the streets to a brighter future
and
a more effective way you can help
are more direct and eye catching statements
3:
to a rough sleeper, for example, the
should be broken into two paragraphs. we can remove ‘the location of’ to save space
to a rough sleeper, for example;
