I'm voting today. Here's why.

11/5/2019

What would it be like if we couldn't vote?

That's what I think about on election day. I think about it because voter turnout can be dismal.

I think about it because there are four amendments to the Constitution related to voting rights. Amendments that give people who were denied the right to vote their voting rights. People like Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton had had enough.

It was unacceptable that as a woman, she was not allowed to vote. For more than 50 years, she fought for the right to cast a ballot. And she died nearly two decades before the 19th Amendment would pass. That's 70 years.

It took far too long.

Today I will vote. I will vote for Elizabeth Cady Stanton and all the women who fought alongside her. And I will vote for those who fought for the 15th Amendment, the 24th Amendment, and the Voting Rights Act.

I will vote because I can.

One person, one vote. It matters, and it counts.

I created this infographic to inspire more people to vote on election day.

Information Graphics
After I made my first SnowGirl, people had lots of questions.

"What did you use for her hair?"
"Is that an orange peel around her neck?"

Their interest made me consider sharing the information in a way that would be accessible to more people. In a way that might even encourage them to get outside and give it a go.

So I created an infographic, a combination of text and image.

If you've got information to share, consider an infographic. Illustrated information attracts more attention and interest.

Online applications, email, websites, and blogs allow us to reach out and connect with the people who care about what we do. But, in order to get (and hold) their attention, the information we share needs to be presented in a way that's eye-catching and interesting.

Here are some ways to make it more interesting:
• photographs (your own if possible, carefully selected, and cropped)
• frequent paragraph breaks
• bold headings
• lists
• infographics
• charts
• illustrations

Regular output and information that's helpful and interesting will keep your audience coming back for more.

Need help?

From figuring out just what it is you need to say, to finding the right words and images to make it interesting, let's make something worth talking about.

It's my goal to help you look good in print. Let's get started.

The Elements of a Letter - An Infographic

10/8/2018

Letters from Camp

It happens every summer. One publication or another runs an article about camp letters. Missives from home-sick, bug-swatting campers who have been cut-off from smart phones and social media.

Most include funny stories about how good or bad the food is, how infrequently someone may or may not be brushing their teeth, or how often they're changing their underwear. But a lot of them begin or end with some commentary about how kids these days don't know the basics of writing a letter, let alone how to address an envelope.

I write a lot of letters and have been for a long time. I know how to address an envelope, where to put my return address, and where to put the stamp. I thought most everyone else did, too.

Not so much.

I'm sure it's a problem that extends beyond campers stationed in remote woodlands, reduced to pen and paper, so I created an infographic to address the issue. The Elements of a Letter offers a rundown of the basics: gathering supplies, writing a letter, addressing an envelope, and where to put the stamp.

If you're interested in reading more about writing letters, visit, Postmark1206, where all things letter writing can be found. Letter writing, it turns out is good for campers, their parents, and rest of us, too.

I'm voting today. Here's why.
