Reading Response Week 6
Submitted by bluscomb on Thu, 07/17/2008 - 22:50.
I thought that Chapter 24 was really helpful and definitely more helpful then Chapter 37, because as another one of my group members because it's more focused on the word structure of the sentence when Chapter 24 is more related to the emphasis of the look of a poster or flyer. I had the task of making the flyer for the group. I now realize after reading the chapter that I definitely have some tweaking throughout my whole flyer that I really need to do. I really need to do something about my wording that I have in the box, I was trying to emphasis the auction and that people really need to start making more of an effort to bid for more things instead of coming because it's bargain shopping. But I don't think that I got my point across in quit the right way. Also I think that I'm a little all over the place with my colors throughout my flyer, and I realized that I definitely need to stick with more colors that work together better or just one color. One thing that I definitely wont change about the flyer is the fake that I made the name and the event location very clear, and I incorporate all the pictures that the customer wanted, the soup and bread picture, the united logo, and crisis center logo. I think by adding these pictures it will show the viewer exactly who it is being hosted by.

Blair,
You did a nice job with the first draft of the flyer. It gives you, as well as the group, a starting point, and we can all work together from there to create a wonderful flyer. I agree with you in that the color scheme is a bit different, which is alright because we have time to work on it. I do like your font choices and how you used larger text to emphasize important dates, times, etc. After reading chapter 24, I think the group had a better understanding of certain details for flyers and posters, and that it will definitely help us when creating our second drafts. Overall, very good job!

I can see how chapter 24 was helpful to you in your flyer, but I also thought chapter 37 was helpful. I think both chapters helped in the flyer, poster, and press release. I agree with you that after reading the chapters I need to make some adjustments to my first draft. I was in charge of the press release, so there will not need to make any color or design changes, I just need to ensure that it is as concise as possible and really get the right point across for the client because we were told to focus on the silent auction. Great post.

Blair,
I agree with both you and Bethony about the use of Chapter 24. You did a great job with the first draft of the flyer, and we all have work to do to make the project into a finished group of documents to submit. Working together, we will definitely be able to make the flyer, poster, and press release into pieces that stand out. You are right about the use of the pictures. It is easier for a person to recognize logos and pictures than to just read through the information that is being presented on a flyer. We can use this theme across all of the visual needs of the project.

I think both chapters are helpful in their own way. Chapter 24 is easier and more interesting to read compared to chapter 37. However I think Chapter 37 contains so much useful tips and information on sentences structures. I agree with you that chapter 23 is more related to this project of creating posters and flyers than chapter 37 since most of the words that we use are already provided. But think if you have to make up your own words for the posters and flyers, then chapter 37 will become handy. I think it is a good idea to make an emphasis that by coming to the event and bid on the item, people are actually helping out the crisis center instead of just doing bargain shopping. Yes, I agree that by adding those pictures you mentioned, people will recognize the logo right away.
