Task 1. Read the task below and produce a leaflet.

A group of journalists is planning to launch a new consumer magazine. It is aimed at women aged 20-40 who wish to have a professional career as well as a family. It will give readers vital business information and practice advice on how to reach the top of the corporate ladder. You have been asked to produce a leaflet introducing the magazine and inviting readers to send a coupon entitling them to a substantial discount on the first two issues. Think of the sections and topics you are going to cover in the leaflet. It also has to include some advertisements concerning the main policy of the magazine “Women as wonderful housewives”.

Look at the necessary information below:

“Promotional leaflet is a single sheet of printed-paper sometimes folded to form several pages. It either advertises a product / service or gives information on how to use it. No particular layout is required but the leaflet must be eye-catching, easy to read, and have a

contact address and date. Key information, e.g. the offer of a special discount or bargain rates, should be highlighted".

When designing a leaflet, you are expressing yourself not only with words but also with pictures and graphics. How you present these pictures and graphics will also contribute to the way readers perceive their importance.
