flyer design

I am beginning to use some of the things learned during the photography unit in my creation of parent newsletters, homework and classroom design. For example, today I sent out a paper asking parents to volunteer as reading coaches in our classroom. Instead of just creating a simple, drab word document using times new roman font and printed on white paper, I attempted to make it more compelling. I used lines to draw the readers attention to the text. I used colorful paper. I wanted the parents to take notice of this paper while going through the backpacks of their 1st and 2nd graders. I wanted this to pick and up and be compelled to read it. We'll see if the outcome is what I hoped for. :)
