Here is our general info brochure.

Here are our final drafts.

**Edit
We were having trouble with one of our colors while converting to .pdf format. I could not determine why, but finally found a way around it. I'm updating to reflect this change. Nothing has been changed since the deadline except the problem caused by the .pdf conversion.

This week has been devoted to making the final changes with regards to the comments made from the Humane Society. The biggest concern I had to face dealt with the layout of the General Information Brochure. According to the Humane Society it was “funky and hard to handle.” Seeing how this was all that they specified about the layout, I assumed that they meant that they did not like the way the four column brochure would be created because they would have to use paper that is larger than a standard sheet of computer paper.

Final drafts are attached

Here is our final!

This week I focused on revising some parts of my draft based on the client’s opinion. I removed the word “stationary” from the donation part. As other group members suggested, I tried to add some more information on what donations will be used to. However, I couldn’t find any other usage of donation after interviewing the manager of CFRC community. I emailed about this to my group members to hear their opinions. All of our group members shared some similar ideas about our second draft. We had two alternative messages which might distract readers’ attention.

This week was focused on details. I reviewed the revisions and suggestions by both the client and Mr. Tirrell. In addition, I took the revision suggestions and comments from my peers into consideration while revising for the final draft. This week my group had a meeting on Wednesday. During this meeting, we were able to set the plan for the completion of the project. For example, who is going to do what, and what direction we are going to take in terms of revisions. One main topic discussed was whether to leave our submitted draft 2 a quater fold or return it to a tri-fold.
