Real
leaflets have lots of colour, pictures, fancy fonts and graphics and are
usually created on a sophisticated piece of software designed specifically for
this purpose. The leaflet you will produce in the exam (if it comes up) will be
simple, will be in black and white and will be done on Word.
There
are two types of leaflets:
·
Persuasive
– these are designed to persuade you to pay for either a product or a service,
e.g. a pizza or a dry cleaning service
·
Informative
– these are designed to give you information about something important like
what to do if you discover a fire or how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
All
leaflets should contain the following:
·
A
main heading
·
Subheadings
·
Bullet
points
·
Different
font sizes
·
Some
text in bold
·
Spaces
where pictures would go and explanations of what the pictures would be of
·
An
address and contact details of a relevant organisation
You
must include all of these to show that you understand how a leaflet is
different from, say, an article.
