As you've discovered through your research, People Called Women is a small, locally-owned, feminist bookstore. Your third project will be to take the information that you've gleaned in your white paper and create an informative brochure that encourages the support of independent bookstores. Our client wants to be able to distribute a brochiure at women's studies and feminist-oriented conferences and they want that brochure to explain the importance of supporting local bookstores. Each of you have created unique white papers addressing a variety of related issues. These can easily be transformed into a visually enticing informative brochure that convinces conference attendees to support local bookstores rather than the larger conglomerates like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. These ideas can also be used to make a brochure for consumers or bookstore customers encouraging them to continue supporting local businesses. Another can focus more specifically on feminist bookstores. Based on your white papers, I have the following recommendations for groups to narrow their topic:

Group One--Design a brochure for a membership program, like the one that you mention in your white paper. Your audience is book store customers.

Group Two--Design a brochure that focuses on independently-owned feminist bookstores. Your audience is other feminists.

Group Three--Design a brochure that focuses on independent bookstores in general rather than just feminist ones. Your audience is a general one.

Group Four--Design a brochure that focuses on independently-owned feminist bookstores. Your audience is other feminists.

 

If these suggestions don't fit in with the work that you want to do, that's fine. Just contact me and let me know where your group wants to take this project.

Is this brochure for customers of feminist stores or for other feminist bookstores?

Question about grading:

This is what you have posted for grading criteria:

For the service learning project, the client will contribute to the final grading process. The client will select one project for professional use, and that project will be the only project that receives an A. Other projects will receive an A- or less based on the following criteria:

My question is how can this be a competition if we are all creating different projects. We all have a different set of guidelines for the project. I think that if we are going to compete for an A, the projects all need to be the same so that a fair choice can be made.
