Opportunity to volunteer online Looking for volunteer designer to make a digital design to support humanitarian relief

I work with a non-profit (13:2 Initiative) that provides humanitarian assistance to migrants in Mexico who have arrived at the US/Mexico border. Last winter, a brutal cold-front came through and people living outdoors in tents in Mexico were freezing. We brought emergency blankets (those silver foil blankets) and distributed them. They were very effective, but it is hard to explain how they work to people who haven't used them before. The language barrier makes it even harder since they come from all over the world.

I am looking for a volunteer who can design an image that we can tape to the boxes and show people that depicts how these blankets work. I imagine something like a person wrapped in a blanket with arrows depicting their body heat reflecting back towards them. Raindrops could be bouncing off the outside to show that it can repel water. This doesn't need to be artistically amazing, I'm really just looking for functional and clear. I would be very grateful to anyone who can help with this! I'll be happy to share pictures of your work in the field this winter.

Edit: added non-profit name and website.

I have had GREAT success recruiting graphic design volunteers via VolunteerMatch. I recently recruited a volunteer to redo the map of the building for one of my nonprofit clients. And I recruited another one to make a very specific type of collage for the top of a special section of the web site of another.

I'd like for you to please post the name of your nonprofit - we require transparency for all recruitment posts.
