Notice

A notice is an announcement containing information about an activity, event or  opportunity such as a job opening. It may be produced for publication in a newspaper or for placement on a public notice board. 

Notices sometimes use WordArt and to a lesser extent clip art.

Flyers

Flyers are single-page leaflets advertising an event, service or activity. They are usually handed directly to people, placed on the windshield of motor vehicles, under doors or in mailboxes. 

Flyers should do four things: 

• grab the ATTENTION of your audience;

• hold their INTEREST;

• arouse a DESIRE for them to respond;

• push them to take positive ACTION.

When creating a flyer, ensure that you:

• Use a single, large image if it will make a stronger impression on viewers than numerous small pictures.

• Group small pictures together so that they are perceived to be a single group of images.

• Position the picture or illustration in the upper half of the flyer.

• Incorporate an organisation’s logo into the design near the title to ensure proper branding.

• A small image can also be put beside a larger one to give a contrasting appearance.
