Creative Skills: Introduction
To get our campaigns noticed, we need to be creative! This section contains some simple hints and tips to get you started with your poster, leaflet, prop and banner making.

Design
You don’t have to be a budding Banksy to make a good poster or leaflet - an hour or two at a computer can be enough to make a perfectly decent publication.
The design pages give you more information on the vital things to think about such as:
- getting your message right;
- creating an eye-catching design;
- tools and techniques to use.
Prop making
In November 2006, People & Planet (with a little help from our friends) created a massive mobile art installation in the centre of London.
Making simple, striking symbols is much easier than you might think, you just need a little time and patience! Our prop making pages give you advice on:
- building big and small innovative props;
- creating sound and noise for your events;
- making the perfect People & Planet banner.
Street theatre
Your best bet for tips in this area is to visit the website of our friends at Street Acts, who have a wealth of knowledge and are involved in our annual national training event, Summer Gathering.
