I am going to be attending a Town Hall meeting on free speech next week, put on by the NZ Free Speech Union (of which I'm a founding member).

I would like to have a stack of flyers about nostr to hand out in order to purple-pill people.

Can one of the many graphic designers here come up with something, or point me to something that is already designed and ready to go?

Not a graphic designer :(

Ooh. Web designer? Think I knew that. Well it’s the thought that counts , or something like that 😉

Great! 🧡

Have you checked here https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=e93e60d6922639eb&sca_upv=1&q=nostr+posters (then go to images)?

Also, https://www.fiverr.com/.

Try https://www.canva.com/ too.

Plus https://pixlr.com/editor/

Hopefully those are useful to you.

Can't tell if this a bot, a bit or a troll. Or all 3! Lolol

Who, me? Woah! First time I’d ver been called a troll, bot or bit. I’m a real person, from Perth in Western Australia. :)

I actually thought the first link was just to google dot com lol

I actually think njump.me 's text is pretty good, of something isn't make specifically. You could screenshot and print. Just an idea.

It is good. But too long for a flyer. And the dynamic title wont work.

It would also be nice for people to know that nostr already has hundreds of applications and thousands of relays and is growing fast... that it is the next big thing... that it is totally open and free and not tied to any company. Because I think people will assume it is a product or a centralized thing or maybe some small idea that hasn't proven itself yet.... those wrong assumptions people make generally cause people to dismiss it before the recognize it for what it is.

Yeah hopefully someone comes up with something appropriate. I think something flyer length with the main points that you said (I would also add the ability to build on it as a key feature), would also be super useful as a website too. There's a few 'what is nostr' type sites but they mostly ramble on a bit. Could have a more succinct bit of text/images and links to more info/advanced.

I made this a while ago. Its a bit cheesy but it's simple

I'm looking at a number of these, they are all good, but I think I'll make my own. The audience is very much concerned about free speech, but probably not very techical. I'm thinking something like this:

NOSTR is bringing everybody FREE SPEECH ONLINE.

Nostr is not a company, it is an open protocol that supports censorship-resistant

social media and other interactions over the Internet.

You control your own account (you hold the keys) so you cannot be cancelled and

lose your followers.

Redundant and Dynamic: It resists censorship because you can post content to many places

and then change where you post at any time without your followers even noticing.

Decentralized: there is no central point for a would-be censor to put pressure upon.

There are already hundreds of apps: chat, blogging, videos, recipes, art, music, and more.

It even supports micropayments!

Here are a few webpages to help you get started:

Mmm. A nostr explainer flyer..interesting.

I have a few resources in the nostr meetup kit, even flyers, but no 101 explainer flyer yet.

What size are you thinking of printing and will it be in color? If you searched flyers online, is there a particular one that you like the look of.

I may be able to help, and to have something like that available for others as well. If you’d like.

Here’s what I have already, with a link to editables on figma.

Maybe A5 printed both sides, color and glossy

There is a print company in town that I can have print them. I suppose they would deal with the "glossy" bit.

Yes, you can ask them to see their paper options, not just the glossy, but the weight too, so you can decide what you like best.

Thank you. I’ll get a first draft A.S.A.P, A5 double sided, with the ideas above. Please let me know if you have any stylistic preferences.

That's awesome! Take liberties with the content if you think of something better.

First draft. What could be improved? Are we missing anything? Is there something that should not be there?

That’s awesome 🙌🏽

I think the styling is fine. I like that all 5 websites I listed are shown and don't take much space.

Although many people on nostr think zaps are the best thing since sliced bread, I'm not sure that will draw in more people than it will repulse even with the red explanation. For this crowd I think we should leave off that selling point. Many normal people get nervous once you talk about sending money, either due to fear of the government and being a criminal, or fear of a scam.

Let them get orange pilled after they get purple pilled.

I think mentioning something more like "a protocol not a company" might be more effective than "A company doesn't own your nostr, you do" because the latter isn't clear that there is no company behind this at all... just that the possibly imainged company claims to not own you. So even though "protocol" is a technical word, I think it communicates a lot here in one word that non-technical people can just gloss over without being too confused.

"Your followers can find your content, regardless of where on nostr you post your notes" is informative, but doesn't quite explain how it is that nostr is censorship resistant, whereas something like "you can post to any servers you choose, there are already thousands, and you can dynamically move away from servers that censor you without affecting your followers" or something like that.... at least people that have tried Mastodon will understand that.

I don't think "highly customizable settings" will matter to these people, nor "built around a web of trust of who you follow."

Instead of very short bullet points like these, I think fewer but longer explanatory phrases would be more effective. These will be highly educated politically active older people, less interested in bullet points that are too short for them to get the picture, and possibly even the kind of people who would read proposed legislation which is ridiculously detailed and precise. So we should move to longer sentences with more precise statements I think.

Thanks for clarifying. I’ll rework now with a better idea of your audience.

Draft 2.

Please let me know any observations. I hope it’s closer to what you have in mind.

I think that is good. I can use that. Thank you! 🫶

Good to hear. Let me prep the files. I’ll also upload to the Nostr Meetup Kit community figma file.

Files are ready. Here’s the link to them. Please let me know if you can access them.

I’ll update the figma later on too.

I got them. I'll take them to the printers tomorrow.

Printed!

Great! Thank you for sharing nostr with your network.

That is very good. Lots of information in just a few words.

thanks :)
