How to edit graphics and flyers

All graphics and flyers were created in Google Drawings and Google Slides, two free online applications that are available with a free Google Drive account. Learn more about setting up and using Google Drive here.
  • When you’re ready to edit a document, make a copy of the original first, so that you are working on your own version and not on the shared version (you can rename your copy by clicking on the title in the upper left corner).
  • To edit any text in the document, simply click on the text and start typing.
  • To add your logo to the document, click “Insert” and then “Image.” Once the image is inserted you can move it around.

Branding guidelines

On social media:
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are great tools for celebrating the work we’re doing together. We would love to utilize these social networks to stay connected and to amplify our collective reach! Follow us @HacktheHood, and feel free to tag us in any relevant posts. You may also use #HacktheHood, or create your own original hashtag for the bootcamp (i.e. #HtHChicago2016). But when creating any original content on social media, please follow the below guidelines.

When referring to Hack the Hood programming at your site, always make clear that the bootcamp is being delivered as part of a partnership with our organization.

Correct examples:

"Sign-up for a Hack the Hood bootcamp this summer, delivered by the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago."

"The Boys & Girls Club of Chicago will offer a Hack the Hood bootcamp this summer for local youth."


To avoid confusion, try not to describe the bootcamp without including your organization’s name.

Incorrect examples:

"Sign-up for the Hack the Hood bootcamp in Chicago this summer!"

"Support Hack the Hood as we deliver a 6-week tech bootcamp to young people in Chicago!"


When creating external graphics specifically for or solely about the Hack the Hood bootcamp, we recommend using the Roboto font family. For more detailed information, including suggested fonts, check-out the full branding presentation, which will be provided. If you have any questions, let us know!

Using the Hack the Hood logo: 
You are welcome to use the Hack the Hood logo in your external marketing, social media, and other visual collateral. If you choose to do so, please follow the below guidelines.
  • You can alter its size, but never rotate the logo, stretch it, or adjust the proportions in any way.
  • If placing the logo on top of a photo, avoid using a busy background which might make it hard to read.
If using the Hack the Hood logo in conjunction with your own, make sure the two logos are aligned and relatively the same width.
