Eleventh Entry: Final Project: TCU Brochure

My argument essay was about the new meal plan that TCU is going to institute next year. The benefits of the new meal plan heavily outweigh the cost of it, and I think that students are going to be happy with the change. Many students are against the new meal plan simply because they don’t know very much about it. My essay was also a way of informing students about the changes that are going to take place.
I have decided that the best way to explain the new meal plan would be to create a brochure that students could read and learn about the most important changes that are going to take place. A brochure is a good way for any one who is interested to lean about the meal plan, but especially TCU students. In a brochure I can talk about the pros and cons of the new meal plan and explain the biggest misconceptions that TCU students have. It will also give students the chance to take the brochure any where and show whoever they want. This will be a great way to inform students who want to know more.
Images: I have decided to use images of the new Union building that I found on line, and I plan on having individual eating together, (they are suppose to be at Market Square). Word art might also help express some of the topics that I am going to write about.
Color: I plan to use bright colors like red and yellow to catch the attention of the readers and to highlight important facts.
Font: Casual font will help my brochure because it will make the reader feel more at ease and hopefully it will draw the readers into the brochure.
A brochure is a great way to utilize the rhetorical process. My general audience for the new meal plan is TCU students. By placing brochures in the Main, all TCU students will have access to them. All most all TCU students go to the Main at least once a day, so anyone who wanted to know more about the meal plan could pick a brochure and read about it. I plan to have a few pictures to help explain my points, and a few bullet points naming important information. Overall, I am going to try to make the brochure have the most information I can, without having too many words/paragraphs that students need to read. Less is better, especially if I can get the information I want to communicate to students in a logical way.
