I chose to make a brochure because I liked the examples I found around the school. I think the brochure examples I found displayed the CRAP (Creativity, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity) principles well. I decided to focus on making my brochure out of the strengths of all the other brochures I found. For example, I wanted to make my brochure creative like my chemistry brochure example because I thought it would grab the readers attention. To make my brochure more creative I added pictures of teacher, both male and female, in order to illustrate my topic. I really liked the Breast Cancer Brochure I had found because I liked the repetitive colors that it used. The colors that they used helped symbolize Breast Cancer Awareness and helped make the brochure colorful. I like how all the brochures aligned there text so everything was displayed within the same amount of space. The brochures were able to display a lot of information without overlapping anything and by spacing everything fairly equally. I thought that all of the brochures I picked had good proximity. I liked how all of the information was grouped by using bigger titles and subtitles.

I chose to use a brochure because I liked that I could put a lot of information into it without overcrowding. The audience for my brochure is towards the people that hire teachers for schools. I wanted give the audience a professional brochure so I incorporated the CRAP properties that the brochure examples had. I think it would important to know the information on student teacher relationships because then they might know the reasons why we chose to have relationships with certain teachers.

__**Poster:**__





I chose to make a poster to display my CLUE project information for my EAR project. I wanted to make a poster because I thought they utilize the the CRAP principles well, expecially the creativity. I really like the pictures and colors all the posters use in order to illustrate the information on the poster. For example, I really like the music notes image on the BU Choir poster in order to illustrate music and singing. I think the Leadershp certificate displays the best proximity put of all of my poster examples. This poster definitely has a lot more information on the poster than the other two posters. In order to keep information from getting lost and to keep information from getting to overwhelming, the poster boxes of infromation into groups. Each group revolves around a certain topic and gives all the infromation about that topic in the group box. I based some of my allignment techniques on my poster of of the Legal Orientation Social poster. Another thing I liked about the leadership poster is that the poster constantly repeats the word "leadership." I liked that it repeated the important words constantly because it reminded the reader the overall topic and message the poster was trying to convey. Lastly, I liked how they alligned their information using bullet points because it made the inforation come across the reader as easier to read and much neater.

I wanted my poster to be toward the teachers as an audience from the future employers. I put the results of my CLUE project onto the poster because I wanted to display the information that would be the most useful to teachers in a creative way. I used the CRAP principles that I found in my examples and put them into my poster. I thought making a help wanted poster was a good idea, especially for my topic, because I wanted to tell teachers what skills students value in teachers and that if you have those set of skills, despite your gender, employers might hire you.

__**Satire:**__

The biggest reason to why I chose to make a satire is simply because they are funny, but still convey a theme or message that makes you think. I chose these three examples of satires because I like how they all took something serious and made it funny. All of these satires show creativity by their illustrations. I think the most creative satire example I have is //The// //Scarlet Letter// satire. I thought the depictions of the characters were funny. Having an "A" on your clothes is a serious issue because that meant that you were an adulterer and ultimately sinned. The satire pokes fun in getting lettered by lettering the clergy man with a "J" for jerk. The satires all use proximity in order to help the readers read what they need to read to fully understand the satire. The animal satire and //The Scarlet Letter// satire both use dialogue boxes in order to display what the audience should read. The problem with these satire examples is that I don't see much repetition, or alignment. All of the examples I picked were more like comics and didn't really need to use these CRAP principles because they weren't as important to share the message.

With my satire, I created a brochure in order to convey the opposite message to what my professional brochure portrays. I wanted to poke fun at gender stereotypes because everybody has either dealt with them or at least heard of them. I used the principles that I got from my examples, creativity and proximity, but I also wanted to use repetition and alignment in order to use all of the CRAP properties. Since I was making a brochure again I wanted to make sure that I was fully getting my point across so I tried to repeat the important information by formatting the same information the same way. I also wanted to use the alignment property because I didn't want my information to be jumbled together and create chaos. When there is too much information that is not aligned properly it can look overwhelming and the reader reading the brochure could lose interest in the information all together. The satire was my favorite one to make because I like humorous works of writing that also make me think about something deeper.
