|  "Comments on design of anime club flyer?"
, posted Mon 26 Aug 19:09
Yo folks!
Well, besides the whole costuming and gaming deal, I'm also one of the current officers for my university's anime club. I was the secretary -- but it seems I'm handling most of the responsibilities right now, as some of the officers have moved away and others are quite busy. [This upcoming year, I'm probably just going to be an assistant to the club; I don't think I'll have that much time either.]
Either way, among other things, I'm designing flyers to be posted/distributed on campus. I've got the general design here, and used Ataru of Urusei Yatsura as a prototype. Anyway, do you guys have any comments on the general design?

Just a little nit-picking, if you don't mind...
1. Yup, like Freeter had said, a big "Why Anime??" will arouse the interest of people.
2. Too much info, too little anime pictures. The first half was trying to arouse the "emotions" of Anime lovers, but the bottom half was engulfed in too many technical details. Perhaps you can consider highlighting the URL address, and have all the other info (like campus map, details of screenings etc) in the website itself? That way, if people are interested, they can jolly well take down the URL to find out more.

Thanks for the comments, guys! I'll consider putting the "Why?" beforehand.
As for removing some info from the flyer and leave it for the website, though -- there are actually a number of folks on campus that, even if they're interested, they just won't check the website. Unfortunately, not everyone carries a notepad around to write down important stuff -- and even then, not everyone remembers to check the notepad for things that might be just marginally interesting to them. Even worse are the tag-rips, easily lost in pockets (or later thrown in the trash).
I should've mentioned: the club doesn't just aim to appeal to already-existing Anime lovers here; I'm trying to get folks at least curious about it to come and get more interested (all the while still entertaining those already-existing Anime lovers). The top half is meant to get people's attention, and the bottom half is meant for all the info needed to at least get there, right day, right time, right place. If the flier doesn't have enough info, folks who are only slightly curious about it might not bother to look at the site.
But, then again, if ya brought that issue up, perhaps others may too. Shoot... maybe I should see if I can peek ahead at the notes for my Basic Marketing class.
Either way guys, thanks for the comments!

[Heh, although, the reason I'm interested in sports is more for the cheering environment -- from the audience, cheerleaders, marching band, and mascot (and furthermore participating in that environment, though I was only in the band one year) -- more than the actual game itself. That's why I find sports video games actually pretty boring.]

I had to check Google for this one, but yeah -- it was the University of Colorado.

I believe he does, but I really haven't been following the story. I've really been busy with so many other things; I only check CNN.com for world news really quickly, and I don't often check local stuff.
Well, back to work... later folks!

In the words of Joe, "Yappa ore wa tensai da." (I am a genius after all.) Uh, yeah. Okay! =P
