Pop-Up Museum Flyer

I chose to create a flyer for this initial composition, but in reality, this same flyer would be a part of a larger campaign that would include social media squares and larger posters.

This poster would hang on the corkboards I have discussed quite frequently in this class. But there would also be a larger poster printed to hang from the balcony of the second floor of the student center to garner more attention, not only for our pop-up museum but for the department as a whole. Most view the WRD department as where they have to go to take their required first-year writing classrooms and not much else, and by exposing them to the unique events and works that are produced it will show that we are more than just first-year writing.

In addition to the posters, the social media square would be shared with the Social Media Working Group of the university so others throughout the community are aware and spreading the word as well. This has served me quite well in my social media endeavors thus far at the university and they are consistently supporting new and exciting campaigns. When one reaches out to the SMWG they provide various prompts for the users to use when they share the image, and this would help to control the way that the pop-up museum is portrayed.

These resources will help the composition to circulate beyond the communities directly related to the WRD department without discluding the department.

I chose to create this flyer using the color scheme that the department uses on its Twitter account because if someone follows our tweeter, they will see the orange, and therefore (hopefully) see the connection. The two images are of the city of Chicago and the DePaul Lincoln Park Campus to represent the way that we are working with the rhetoric and publics of DePaul and the city itself.
