Graphic Design for Social-Emotional Learning

We seek graphic artists to create a series of ads as well as a graphic comic book. The EQuip Our KIds! Campaign is a mass advertising and marketing education campaign whose sole and huge vision is to galvanize the American public to include in every school's daily curriculum education for students and staff in emotional management and in relationship and co-creativity social skills – to the demonstrated and evidence-based profound benefit of children, teens, adults, the schools themselves, and society and business (the economy) as a whole. In education circles, this is best known as Social and Emotional Learning.

Our query to you: What element of the public do you particularly design graphics for or are you multi-audience? We seek both audience specialists and generalists. Also, we'd love to hear from you about your graphic gifts for comics storytelling.

The Equip Our Kids! campaign (see EQuipOur Kids.org) is primarily focused on mobilizing parent, business and public awareness and activism around the enormous benefits to children, schools, and society of bringing emotional intelligence and relationship skills training into every school. We act as a sorely needed but independent nonprofit marketing agency for the concepts of emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning. Simply put, the reason these remarkable practices are not in every school is that 90 percent of parents and more of the public don’t even know they exist and so don’t ask for them.

It is out belief that this curriculum is the most important movement on the planet because it can teach the skills that after eons of human conflict and misery, personal and collective, can finally on a mass level transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. We are honored to serve this movement. But to bring it to mass attention in this country, we need the skills of many people. You will be potentially helping make a fundamental and huge different in many lives.

We have an editing and creative team in place with years of experience in print and electronic media. We will use the graphics across a wide array of social-media and any comic storytelling will be viraled out and likely also find its way into print. Also in many ways, including in team spirit and support, we seek to provide a really good experience for our volunteers.
