Jamie's+Brochure





My class was assigned a rather vague project- we were told to construct a brochure that informed people about skin cancer. I must admit, while I knew a lot about this topic from personal experience, I still managed to learn a great deal. We were provided with multiple sources of information, and as I read I could feel things begin to click. I recognized things that I had never noticed before- for example, the signs that some of the people I had known showed before they began to fight it. I found myself instantly sucked into the research, and unfortunately I might have jotted down too much.

My facts weren't vague in any sense, and I wrote down everything as completely as possible. While it was a brochure, I didn't want to rob the reader of any facts. Every detail in this sort of case can prove extremely important, as I have learned. I even used one more panel than most of my classmates in an attempt to fit all of my information onto one tiny brochure. I certainly was supposed to dumb everything down, but I could not bring myself to do it. Everything was too important.
