Promoting the club events is just one part of this. It&#8217;s also crucial to share with the followers what&#8217;s happening in the wider Canberra design community, such as events, but also beyond that sharing design competitions and opportunities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35\" style=\"width: 1109px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ucgdclub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35\" class=\"wp-image-35 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-1.png\" alt=\"facebook\" width=\"1099\" height=\"1017\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-1.png 1099w, http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-1-300x277.png 300w, http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-1-1024x947.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1099px) 100vw, 1099px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-35\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Event branding in action on the Facebook Page.

Not everyone uses Facebook, so emailing our membership base directly alerting them to current and upcoming events is a great way to ensure we&#8217;re heard from. But, being a Graphic Design club, we couldn&#8217;t just send out a generic email; images and styling was required. An email template was greatly modified to suit the club&#8217;s needs and has been used for the last couple years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37\" style=\"width: 713px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/elsecollective.com\/hosting\/ucgd\/email.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37\" class=\"wp-image-37 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-3.png\" alt=\"email 1\" width=\"703\" height=\"888\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-3.png 703w, http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-3-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-37\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Email from 2013<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_38\" style=\"width: 695px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/elsecollective.com\/hosting\/ucgd\/email2.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38\" class=\"wp-image-38 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-4.png\" alt=\"email 3\" width=\"685\" height=\"970\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-4.png 685w, http:\/\/elssan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ucgd-4-211x300.png 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Email from 2014<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>Relations<\/h4>\n<p>Running the public correspondence allows me to set the tone of the club through my writing.
