Long time no see :bow:
I desperately want to come back to join an game of mafia, but RL is forcing me not to.
Here is one reason.

I'm in a charityish social action group in Uni and all the similer bunch of other groups in our uni is coming together to host a big event.
One of the project that we're planning to do in the event is making a easy to see/understand display of a Millenium development Goal.
And I am in charge of making one for Goal 7 "Ensure environmental Sustainability" and Goal 8 "Develop a global partnership for development"

I have a vague idea of how to do Goal 7... Not very good though, but I am completely stuck for Goal 8. So I came here for advice from fellow orgahs.

Here is the requirement
It has to be very easy to understand.
Target audience would be fellow uni students who always seems to be busy with something. Also Freshmen who would know little to no complex words. I want to make it something that would catch their attention, and not bore them to death while reading within 15 seconds.
Its going to be on the board outside the class. Along the main street. So the words and graphs must be rather large

Its going to be hand written on a big piece of paper
The size is probably about 788×1091mm.
I (Or a artistic friend who I asked to help me out) would be using a pen to write the letters.
I can print out graphs, charts and pictures and glue it on though.
Its one paper each for the two goals. So it seems to be a huge chunk of space, but like I said it before, large words and graphs must be used.

While keeping that in mind could you advice me
some of the very important chunk I should include for those two goals
some hints for good and easy to understand display.
some good data set, or flow charts or something that I could use.

Its a lot to ask. But I hope some of you could help me out.

Cheers :bow:

I admit I'm not in UNI anymore:shrug: what I understand is you need a "catch phrase" or a reasonably short "word-picture" for these 2 goals? And if I read correctly each are their own MDG's? Well goal 7 for me is self substinance through growing and raising some of the consumables. Goal 8 would have been social media 10 years ago. Now I think by 2025 we'll have a better, smarter way to ensure our messages are being seen by like minded groups. If I knew what it would look like I would be investing heavily in it's infrastructure:book2: Also Goal 8 people will always want to feel part of the group no matter how diverse so would need to incorporate a bond like websites, blogs, and physical mediums like t-shirts, pamplets, icons.

If you could give a little more direction I'd continue stabbing at it till something screams:laugh4:
