Miami Dade College Nicks Fitness and Health Club Brochure

I’m working on a social work project and need a sample draft to help me study.

Prepare a brochure of a public health agency/organization that you create. The agency/organization must address one or multiple public health science(s): epidemiology, biostatistics, environment and occupational health, health promotion and disease prevention, and health policy. Remember for this brochure you will be required to make both the back and front of the brochure and each page must have the correct orientation when printed. The brochure is not an in-depth study of a topic but it should give enough information to grab and keep the reader’s interest from start to finish. In addition to what your brochure says, you must decide the best format to present your information. Different formats work best for brochures with lots of text, lots of pictures, small blocks of text, lists, charts, or maps. You’ll need to find the format that works best for your information.

The brochure can inform, educate, persuade, explain, or instruct. The brochure might describe a person, a place, or a thing. A brochure informs, educates, or persuades. Businesses often use brochures to inform, educate, or persuade — quickly. They use a brochure to grab the reader’s attention and get them interested enough to want to know more. A brochure for a new convenience store might have a map and list of all the locations around town and a brief description of the types of food products it sells. The brochure for an Animal Shelter may give facts about abandoned animals, pet overpopulation, and the importance of spaying and neutering programs. The brochure as an informative, educational, or persuasive device must present information in a clear, organized manner. It should give enough information that the reader won’t be left wondering “what’s this really about” but should also be a “quick read” so that the reader doesn’t become bored before reaching the end. Task Create a brochure about organization that informs, educates, or persuades.

Be sure to:

• Use MS Word in Landscape mode, to change to Landscape –> File / Page Setup / Paper Size / Landscape or PUBLISHER
• Subtitles to break the information into short quick-read sections
• Bullets to highlight important points
• One Textbox containing important information, such as websites to learn more.
• Graphics
• Use FULL JUSTIFICATION to visually balance the short blocks of text

Checklist for success:

• Does the brochure give the name and address of the organization?
• Is the purpose of the organization clearly stated?
• Does the brochure list the organization’s activities and/or services?
• If appropriate, is there a calendar of events?
• If the organization has a product or service that it sells (or gives away) is that in the brochure?
• Is the mission and vision stated?
• Does the brochure tell how to contact the organization?
• Are the most important activities of the organization highlighted?
• Does the brochure make the reader want to visit/receive services from this organization (or find out more about it)?
