    I need to make a flyer to atract kids at my school to come to a weekly anti-war rally that a group does in town. The group that does it are all from the flower generation, their are pretty old and they really want young kids to get involved. I need to find a way to atract people in my school to come to this. There are not a lot of commuinists in my school, but I know there are a lot of anti-war kids so I want to make it apealing to everyone not just communists or anarchists.

    Less text more picture. I recommend having a bold title, and a large picture taking up a majority of the leaflet. Then a short caption at the bottom explaining when the meeting is.

    The idealist approach tends to work much better. Fill it with meaning and ideas, not facts and statistics, that can come later.
    "How you cling to your purity, young man! How afraid you are to soil your hands! All right, stay pure! What good will it do? Why did you join us? Purity is an idea for a yogi or a monk. You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"

    I want the flyer to have kind of a revolutionary look to it. The kids seem to be into that kind of stuff these days. The Wasco County Citizens For Human Dignity, which is the group that puts on the demonstration, already has flyers out that just have there logo and a thing that says please join us every friday 5pm at the post office "looking for peace and justice" show your support. I want to make something similar but more appealing to youth. Additives free if you want to design something for me that would be great.

    Use this:

    ¡Viva Palestina Libre!

    Additives free I just want something that is apealing to all anti-war kids not just far leftists. That's pretty much it. Most kids at my school are confused about communism and anarchism so symbols symbolizing this should probobly not be used. Also things about the class war should probobly not be used (nothing against your suggestion free palestine I completly loved it), people at my school again would be confused and not know what I was talking about. Just be anti-impearialist, not necesarily anti-capitalism, that will come later I hope.

    Free Palestine, that poster kicks ass, but I can't get to the site it advertises.

    Good pic though.

The one smirks self-importantly and is intent on business; the other is timid and holds back, like someone who has brought his own hide to market and now has nothing else to expect but - a good tanning. - Karl Marx, Capital Volume I

    Somthing must be wrong with the server, or worse yet it has been shut down by the monitors after it showed up on the Karnivore data mining program.

    Sinkers.org has some decent and creative anti-war posters. They seem to appeal to young Anarchist types like you.

    when doing things such as flyers like that it may be much more efficient to use a black and white image......if you grayscale the image, or overlap the text and picture it will become easier to make sense of visually...
