Leaflets comparing the need to indicate what can be done about a situation

Indicate clearly what readers can do about the situation the leaflet describes.
In most cases, a leaflet isn't merely explaining - it is also urging some action. Use the headlines or bold type to let readers know they can help by coming to a meeting or demonstrating, signing a petition, contributing time or money, etc.

When designing a leaflet, consider how it will be used.
If it might be posted, just use one side of the paper. If it might be folded and mailed, use an outside panel for an eye-catching message that will make people want to see what's inside.
