Over at The Button Blog, we posted a list of four essential tips for people making campaign buttons. They bear repeating briefly here for those of you who are about to go down the road of creating campaign buttons with your new machine, supplies, and accessories.
Tip 1 for Making Campaign Buttons: Easy-to-Read Text Size
This one should be a no-brainer, but we're surprised how often it's not. The name and slogan (if included) on a campaign button need to be easily readable without people having their noses right on top of it.
Tip 2 for Making Campaign Buttons: Bold Color
What good are campaign buttons if they do not capture peoples' attentions? They aren't. Choose a color that is both bold and relevant to ensure that your button does not go unnoticed.
Tip 3 For Making Campaign Buttons: Have a Catchy Slogan
A relevant, catchy slogan can be the best friend of a successful campaign. A candidate's overarching ideal or value needs to be summed up as succinctly and memorably as possible so that potential voters have an easy way of remembering what a candidate stands for.
Tip 4 For Making Campaign Buttons: Choice of Shape/Type
Most campaign buttons are the standard round variety. While there is nothing wrong with that, there is also nothing wrong with choosing a different shape as a way to stand out. Sometimes going against the grain, in this case a photo button or a square one, can actually make you more memorable.
