So after reading the critique on the 50 for the Copy book I think that I need to take the same advice on these, but I wanted to post what I already have to see if any are heading in the right direction. I'll just keep working for every wrong one hopefully I'm getting closer to another that works.
Also Thuy and I had an idea bridging the gap between the posters and facebook in an iPhone application when you see the poster a QR code takes you to where you can buy the application. For a five dollar donation you can buy the “what’re they into app” This works as a conversation starter based off of the list of different charitable topics associated with Oxfam. You click which one you want like "world hunger" and donate a dollar to it. This buys you a conversation topic. In short bullet points it gives you things to talk about like “did you know that food prices have doubled in the last year.” So now even if you aren’t the most knowledgeable about world issues you can at least fake it while helping out at the same time.
