Print Materials Design

Project details

What we need
  • Designs for one piece of marketing or communications collateral (e.g., fact sheet, case study, event invitations)
  • Templates with accurate, print-ready specifications
  • Note: Please post an additional project if more than one piece of collateral is needed
What we have in place
  • We currently have a finalized copy of the report, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have examples of previous report designs, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to help communities invest in distributed, renewable energy.

An appealing report design will ensure our work appears polished and professional. The design really plays a big role in enticing our audience to read our work and can help them distill important information more easily. Your help is critical to getting our message across and getting communities to turn our research into action.

Our mission

Founded in 1974, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) is a national research and technical assistance organization that constructs the foundation and frame upon which communities can take charge of their local resources, their economies, and their environmental future. Our focus is on keeping power - both economic and political - as close to the people as possible, and ensuring that communities have the responsibility and authority to make the decisions that impact their lives.

What we do

ILSR has a variety of initiatives: Community Broadband Networks, working to help the creation of locally accountable broadband networks; Community-Scaled Economy, with goals of expanding, developing, and protecting locally owned retail businesses and promoting community banking; Energy Democracy, working to increase clean, dispersed energy generation, expand local ownership, and increase public access to energy decision making; and Waste to Wealth, specifically working to maximizing recycling, reuse and composting for economic and environmental sustainability.
