See www.eikon.org.uk. We support vulnerable young people in Surrey. I need a professional looking poster produced to promote an event we have coming up next year - a 100km moonlit night cycle through London. I have all the copy and images ready to email over, but need help with the graphic design to make it look as appealing as possible. Can anyone help? I would be extremely grateful. Many thanks, Jessica jessica@eikon.org.uk 01932 347 434 Hi all,

From working together with the charity, (and I think that working together is the key to its succes) we have helped to raise the charity's profile tenfold. The charity is now reaping the rewards of a stonger brand that delivers a more recognisable and impactful message, consistent marketing material and more support from volunteers and patrons. To have a charity as a client, and to know that you have been responsible in raising awareness for the charity to new heights is a great feeling. Whether they are a paying client or not. There just seems to be more satisfaction from working together. More so than a new take away menu or colur ad for the local car dealership. A charity is an organisation which helps one group of people to support another, helps animals or protects the environment. So in response to your thread - I believe that this is a good idea, a very good idea. By 'donating' our time and experience to helping the smaller charities is a very worthy cause.

Charities are suffering at this time in history. I wish more professionals would give some of their time to people or companies in need, from doctors, denitists and now web designers, making a difference in people's lives. What a great idea!
