Infographic Design Brief
Note: This brief contains content for two infographics; the organization graphic and the member graphic. The budget is for the Organization Graphic only. The Member graphic will be a separate contract.
Please read the detailed, attached brief.
Background
Pour Your Cup (PYC) is a Microgenerosity app that makes it easier for people to find others to do 5-45 minute favors based on shared interests, values, and organizations.
People want to help others, but only for the right person, and under the right circumstances.
Doing things for others without expecting anything in return has proven to make us happier, better leaders, more successful, and more engaged.
Organizations are looking for ways to increase meaningful engagement. PYC makes it easier for people to find, connect, and help one another.
Pour Your Cup Scenario/Use Case
Meet Dr. Sally
Dr. Sally went to Small Town High School, and then to Well Known College. She went on to receive her medical degree at A Top Medical School.
Dr. Sally wants to give back to others, but currently cannot commit to a day of volunteer work.
A colleague at Mercy Medical Hospital suggested that Dr. Sally sign up for Pour Your Cup, a platform that makes it easier for people to help one another. She puts in her profile that she is willing to offer career advice to those considering the medical profession (This is a customer pain point, and a good thing to highlight)
Meet Dave.
Dave also went to Small Town High School, and he is currently at Pretty Good College. He is thinking about Top Medical School, but just isn’t sure his heart is in it. Dave is looking for someone to share their experience in the medical profession, perhaps even a mentor. One of Dave’s teachers at Small Town High School suggests that Dave sign up for Pour Your Cup.
Dave browses through the PYC member profiles in his Small Town High School network and sees Dr. Sally’s profile.
When Dave sees Dr. Sally’s profile, he thinks, “We have a lot in common. I think she might understand what I’m going through. I would love to chat with her if I had the chance.” And he clicks “Connect.”
Dr. Sally sees Dave’s profile and thinks “Dave reminds me of a younger version of myself and some of the things I was going through back then – and he’s from my High School! Perhaps he would benefit from my own experience.” And she clicks connect.
Now connected, Dr. Sally and Dave are able to chat in the PYC app.
Dave: I’m thinking about medical school, and am looking to talk to someone about their experience. Would you be willing to share yours with me?
Dr. Sally: I would be happy to Dave. I will be back in Small Town next week, and we could meet at Small Town Coffee Shop if you are in town. Otherwise here’s my number and we can chat by phone.
Dave: Thank you so much!
Sally and Dave have coffee and talk about Best Medical School and what it is like to be a Doctor. During their conversation Dr. Sally suggests to Dave that he might really enjoy studying Public Health and instead of going right into medical school. Dave says he is interested in learning more. Dr. Sally refers him to one of her friends at Helpful Mercy Corporation, and recommends her.
Through Dr. Sally’s connection, Dave gets an internship at Helpful Mercy Corporation. He then goes to get his Masters in Public Health. He sends Dr. Sally a ‘thank you’ on PYC.
Today Dave is the Director of the non-profit Better World Health. He now routinely browses through profiles within his Small Town High School, Pretty Good College, and Masters program networks to see who might benefit from her experience, or even a “nudge” in the right direction. He’s connected with and even mentored several students and can see how far-reaching his efforts have been. Every now and then, he sends Dr. Sally a note, just to see how she is doing.
Objective
Design a set of two infographics that can be used together. The key messages are:
1. For members (think individuals) the application is easy to use. Members want to help each other, and would be more likely to help if it were easy. Each member can give and/or take. Pour Your Cup makes it easy for members to connect and help each other.
2. For organizations (organizations may have many members), organizations benefit when their members are engaged with each other. By providing members access to Pour Your Cup, it’s easier for members to connect and help each other. The application is easy to set up, there is tons of flexibility, and you can lever your existing networks. There is tremendous value in connecting your stakeholders with each other, and with resources.
Eventually there will be total of six infographics. So the thought is that we change out some text and maybe a couple of images and we will have 3 sets of 2 infographics each. So the infographic must be flexible and generic enough to be applicable to the follows types of industries
• Non-profits
• Educational Institutions
• Large businesses and corporations

7. Part of the infographic devoted to what the giver person and the receiver person can offer each other. We need 3-5 of from the list below. The content is as follows
Receiver Giver
I’ve just been diagnosed with Cancer. I’m scared and don’t know what to do. What do I do? I am a cancer survivor. I can help people by sharing my experience and giving advice.
How do I know I’m making the right choice? I’m an oncologist, and want to volunteer some time giving expert advice to people that may not be able to afford it.
My mom has cancer. I want to help as much as I can. I am a volunteer and specialize in helping caregivers cope.
I know I’m not going to get better. How do I prepare my family for when I’m gone. I’m a financial planner (or attorney) and I want to volunteer my time helping those who could use my expertise, but may not be able to afford it.
8. The other part of the infographic explains the Member process. Note, the process is circular, in that you are constantly going through steps i – v. The member process is as follows:
i. Browse profiles of other members with similar, interests, values, and organizations.
ii. Connect with other members
iii. Share experiences, lessons, knowledge, and contacts
iv. Say “Thank You”
v. Give Back to the Network

• Several studies have shown that doing roughly two hours of volunteer work a week makes people happier than volunteering fewer hours than that. One study of more than 2,000 Australians in their mid-sixties showed that those who volunteered at least 100 hours a year were happier and more satisfied than those who volunteered less. In another study, Americans who volunteered at least 100 hours in 1998 were more likely to be alive in 2000 than those who did no volunteer work. Source: Adam Grant
• When people volunteer out of a sense of enjoyment and purpose, they feel much more invigorated. Source: Adam Grant
• Engaged employees are more likely to stay with the organization, perform 20 per cent better than their colleagues, and act as advocates of the organization. Source: Gemma Robertson-Smith and Carl Markwick
• Engagement can have a significant impact on the performance of the organization, driving bottom‐line profit and enabling organizational agility and improved efficiency in driving change initiatives. Source: Gemma Robertson-Smith and Carl Markwick

Updates
All,I wanted to share some general feedback:1. Only focus on content from the section called "Content Requirements for Non-Profit – For Organizations Infographic"2. For the color pallet, please use more of the green/blue tones as the main colors3. This infographic has two parts, the text part and the Process Part outlined in section 7 that starts i. Create Network. It is important the 4-step process is included. Since we may not have room for all the text and the process, exclude some of the bullets from Section 6.Hopefully this helps.
