Design a
Bin Sticker
Competition
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
There are a few things to keep in mind
when designing an effective bin sticker.
1. Message
2. Text
3. Image
Look at these ads and discuss the
messages of each.
Look at these ads and discuss the
messages of each.
1. Message
• Keep the message positive. Think about what
you do want people to do.
• Develop a catchy slogan.
• Keep the message about using a bin rather
than recycling.
• The message needs to persuade people to use
the bin.
2. Text
Make sure;
• it is clear, bold and easy to read from a
distance,
• the spelling is correct,
• all of the words fit into the space on the
sticker.
3. Images
Make sure your image is;
• clear,
• colourful, leaving very little white space,
• bright. Light shading is difficult to see when
the image is enlarged.
General tips
• Plan and draft your sticker.
• Get a friend to check.
• Try not to put too much detail
at the bottom of your design.
This is where logos will be
placed when printed.
