ENG 204-001

POSTER:
1. For the most part, but you are missing the time of the event. Other than that you have enough information describing the event and what will be provided at the event.

2. This flyer is not eye catching because there is no color and it is a lot of words. People want pictures, short descriptions, and because there is going to be free food, you should definitely make that a main focus on the flyer.

3. Yes. I'm not really sure what other tone you could use when making a flyer.

4. As I mentioned earlier, you should make the fact that there is going to be free food an important part of the flyer. Most college students are looking for anyway to find free food.

ARTICLE:
1. I'm sure your article would explain what the event was about, but you don't actually have an article. You just have a list of bullet points.

2. I don't know why students should come to the event because there is not an article to read. It just says that you are trying to encourage students to learn more about what can be done with an English major.

3. These questions do not make any sense because you don't have an article to read. I can't answer if there are any grammar mistakes because there is no substance to read.

1. Yes
2. Not so much
3. The tone of the black and white flyer is remarkably appropriate for a creative writing showcase.
4. I would like to see a theme or template on the flyer that is relevant to a collegiate atmosphere.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, not that I caught

I think your flyer is good overall. I would definately add some color or images or both. Just anything to get rid of some of the white space. The free food is definately key. If I walked by a flyer that said anything about english, I wouldnt read it. But if I saw a flyer the said free food, I am going to want to find out what I have to do to get some free food. The overall layout is good and I think you put the right information on there. Just add a time.

I think you have a good plan for your article. I cant really make too many comments without an actual article written but your plan seems good.

Flyer-

1. Yes, but it took me a few seconds to find it. If/when you decide to make the flyer more "flashy", this information should be highlighted.

2. The various font styles help capture my attention, but color is definitely needed. Of course, the words "free" and "food" together always helps.

3.I like the laid-back tone of the flyer, as well as the use of only necessary, simple key words.

4. Some kind of illustrations would be nice. Also, maybe if the "What" section was higher up in the flier, near the "English in Action" title so people easily find that information.

Article-

1. It does have the basic information, but more detail is needed. This is a perfect opportunity to go into more depth than you can with the flyer. The ideas you have in the paragraph sound like a fine idea though.

2. Again, on this article, your paragraph seems like you're heading in the right direction. The more in depth detail will help draw people interested and gain a better understanding of it so they know if they want to go or not.

3. The arrangement seems like it could use some work. The phrase "may be open to the public" is oddly worded. I get what you mean, but it sounds as if you are unsure that the event is open to the public or not.

Flyer –
1. Does the flyer contain enough information to get students to the event?
The “free food” would catch the attention of most college students. However, there is no room number- all it says is “Morton Hall.” Also, there is no time listed, only the date. The flyer needs more specific details.
2. Is the flyer attractive? Does it grab your attention?
It grabs my attention for the simple fact that everything is in bold and an eye-catching font/size. However, there is no color or images. There should definitely be bright/bold colors added and images. Also, maybe a background or a border to make it more attractive to the human eye.
3. Is the tone appropriate?
Yes. The tone shows excitement, which would motivate students and those who read it to get excited, as well. Also, since the tone motivates you to want to support your fellow students. Plus… and emphasis on “free food.”
4. Coming from a student’s point of view, what else would you like to see on this flyer that would get you to go to the English in Action showcase?
• Specific examples of what will be shown. Will there be presentations made by the students?
• How exactly is this going to go down? Will there be booths, etc. with the students at them explaining their work with copies of it to look over? There needs to be a lot more detail.
• Needs to be more eye-catching with colors and images!
• The specifics need to be added!! What room in Morton? What time on the 30th?
Article –
1. Does the article explain what this event is all about?
No, not really. All it says is that you are trying to convert people to English majors and make them interested in the field. However, there is nothing about how you plan to do this. No specific events planned. For example, what happens when everyone gets there on the 30th? The plans need to be thought out more, with specific examples and ways to legitimately get people interested in the field.
2. Does the article explain why students should attend this event?
No. It gives no real reasons for why they should- other than to become interested in the English field and department. This definitely needs further explanation.
3. Does the article seem focused; are there any grammar mistakes?
There is no grammatical errors- but also not really enough information to have time/room for those kinds of mistakes. Right now, I would simply focus on adding more information, etc.
