As we continue to work of developing flyers, let's do a quick review.  I want you to comment of the following questions:

1. What is the purpose of a flyer?
2. What are the four parts of a flyer that we have discussed in class?
3. What is a headline?
4. What is a signature line?

Using the tools that you have learned and used in previous exercises, you are to:

Flyer #3-Design and create a grand reopening flyer

Your friend owns the Craft Barn, a large, year-round craft fair.  She recently relocated and remodeled the facility and is planning a grand reopening.  She has asked you to create a flyer advertising this grand reopening.  The flyer should contain the following headline:  Craft Barn.  The first paragraph of text below the headline should read:  Pick up a jar of homemade jam or a handcrafted gift at the completely remodeled and renovated Craft Barn, located at 8701 County Road 300 West.  Insert the photograph named Barn and Silo, which is available from Google Images.  The bullet items under the photograph should read as follows:  first bullet – expanded and paved parking; second bullet – more than 150 booths; and third bullet – Open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  The signature line should read:  Call 555-5709 for more information!  Add a footer with your name, date, and class period.  Save to your H: drive as craft barn last name and follow your instructor’s directions for submission. 

Flyer #4-Design and create a property advertisement flyer

As a part-time employee of Markum Realty, you have been assigned the task of preparing a flyer advertising lakefront property. The headline should read:  Lakefront Lot.  The first paragraph of text should read as follows: Build the house of your dreams or a weekend getaway on this beautiful lakeside property located on the north side of Lake Pleasant.  Insert the photograph named Lake at Sunset, which is available from Google Images. Below the photograph, insert the following bullet items:  first bullet – City sewer and water available; second bullet – Lot size

110 X 300; third bullet – List Price $65,000.  The signature line should read:  Call Markum Realty at 555-0995 for a tour!  Add a footer with your name, date, and class period.  Save to your H: drive as markum realty last name and follow your instructor’s directions for submission.

Flyer #5-Design and create a flyer that advertises a special talent that you have

Everyone has at least one skill, talent, or special capability, which if shared with others, can lead to opportunity for growth, experience, and personal reward.  Perhaps you play a musical instrument.  If so, you could offer lessons.  Maybe you are a skilled carpenter or other tradesman who could advertise your services.  If you speak a second language, you could offer tutoring.  Budding athletes might harbor a desire to pass on their knowledge by coaching a youth sports team.  You may have a special knack for sewing, singing, photography, typing, housecleaning, or pet care.  Carefully consider your own personal capabilities, skills, and talents and then use the concepts and techniques learned in previous exercises to create a flyer advertising a service you can provide.  Include an appropriate headline, descriptive body copy, a signature line, an appropriate photograph, a bulleted list of facts/details, and a page border. Add a footer with your name, date, and class period.  Save to your H: drive as talent last name and follow your instructor’s directions for submission.
