Political candidate brochure template by StockLayouts

SLOGAN

• Will the candidate's slogan help convey your voter education message?

LOGO

• Does your candidate have a recognizable logo you want to include?

PICTURES

• Consider includes photos of the candidate that relate to the issue of your pamphlet.
• Find photos with permission to re-use. Try the usage rights search tool in Google Images.

CONTENT

• Do your research to find accurate details about your candidate's position on the issues.
• Use the links in the Election 2016 Guide (especially under "Meet the Candidates") to find cited sources relating to a wide variety of topics.

LAYOUT

• Try one of the software tools listed on the left to make a professional-looking brochure.

Keep in mind the amount of space you have to work with. You'll probably start with way too much text, and you’ll need to cull down the material.

In the brochure copy itself, try to:

• Keep to one idea per paragraph.
• Use short sentences.
• Use bullet points where possible to free up as much white space as possible.
• Divide the text into clearly labeled sections

Charts and graphs should be simple in design and clearly illustrate a point. A simple explanation under the chart should be all you need to make your point.

Adjust the different elements to make everything fit and flow properly. A cramped brochure looks bad and is less likely to be read.

Proofread the piece for misspellings or grammatical errors.
