Here are some ideas on creating protest signs and banners
Sign Making Tips:
1.
Choose large pieces of white poster board or foam board. Colored pieces make text harder to read.

It’s okay if it looks homemade – that’s because it is. I like to use mostly black – it’s easiest to read.

Just make sure it is large enough to see from a distance and fairly simple so that it ’t obscure your words. But don’t spend a lot of time worrying about it – the words are the most important thing.

Make sure that every sign has the name and website of your organization or event so that people walking by know where to get more information and who you are with.
