Design guidelines
If you’re creating your own materials:
- Keep it simple — date, time, meeting point, and a clear “Critical Mass” label
- Use high contrast — your flyer needs to be readable from a distance and in low light
- Include a QR code linking to your social media or community page
- Avoid cluttered designs — white space is your friend
- Use a readable font — at least 14pt for body text on printed materials
Printing tips
- Standard flyers: US Letter (8.5 x 11”) or A4
- Spoke cards: 2.5 x 3.5” (business card size) on heavy card stock
- Many local print shops offer cheap short-run prints
- For spoke cards, consider lamination or heavy stock for weather resistance
