Reading Response Week 5

Attached is the flyer that I chose to examine. It is a flyer to promote the new Disney service guidelines called the Basics. Each cast member should follow these guidelines while they are on stage (On stage is a term that means you are on the clock, while backstage means that you are off the clock). I chose to use it because I really like the layout and coloring of this flyer.

Considering the principles of design given in chapter 25, what works about the design of the flyer you found? Reference specific principles from Chapter 25 to analyze the design of your flyer. Explain how this document will influence your own design on the service learning project.

I thought this topic was really interesting because I was assigned to make the flyer part of the Service Learning Project. All the tips from the book and the ten tips for making a flyer were all really helpful.

Chapter 25 offers many ideas on how to design a document. Being a very science oriented person, my artistic creativity is unbelievably low. In fact, my high school English teacher told me once that my “kinesthetic effort sucked.” So naturally after reading chapter 25 I was somewhat intimidated.

Attached is the flyer that I chose to examine. It's not really a flyer that would interest me since it is for a ladies night at the club, but I still chose to use it because I feel it shows many of the characteristics a good flyer should include. When looking through the flyers on google images, this one caught my eyes immediately.

The flyer I have chosen is one in which raises awareness of climate changes and the impact they have on urban developments and rural areas, through a conference in 2006.

In Chapter 25, I read about desktop publishing and graphic design for writers. I believe information I have learned from reading this chapter will be beneficial to me as I am designing my own flyer.

The first thing that caught my eye was the title of this flyer, “RACE AGAOMST THE PROS!.” When I first read this I wanted to know who I could be racing against and what exactly the flyer was for.
