Identify and create sensory elements of visual media communication to attract viewer attention

Identify and create sensory elements of visual media communication to attract viewer attention. Scenario You are a member of a committee at your child's school. The committee has been assigned the task to design a flyer for the students to take home to their parents. The purpose of the flyer is to notify parents about the upcoming Field Day for all students. They have specified that it can only be one-page in length, and they have encouraged creativity to catch the eyes of the parents. Several parents wish to participate, so the leader of the committee creates a fun flyer competition. She asks that each person creates his/her own flyer and create a screen share to persuade the committee to choose your flyer. The screen share should visually show the flyer and include a verbal explanation regarding why your flyer will best attract the eyes of the parents. Since you are extremely creative, you know that in order to capture the parents' attention and win this competition, you will need to use color, lines, balance, and contrast visual elements. In your video presentation, be sure to defend your visual choices to the other parents and members of the committee. You know that if you clearly explain why you chose each of these visual elements and how it best attracts the eyes of the parents, you could win this fun competition! Your presentation should be a maximum of 5 minutes. Instructions The presentation must include a visual and an audio recording using Screencast-O-Matic®, a free audio recording software compatible with PC and MAC computers.

Paper For Above instruction

The task presented requires an integration of visual media principles to design an engaging and effective flyer promoting a school Field Day event. This project emphasizes understanding and applying sensory elements—such as color, lines, balance, and contrast—to attract the attention of parents, the target audience. The process involves not only creating a visually appealing flyer but also effectively communicating the rationale behind each design choice through a video presentation, ultimately persuading a committee to select your design. This comprehensive assignment combines graphic design, visual communication psychology, and persuasive narration skills, aligning with principles of sensory engagement and visual hierarchy.

Designing a compelling flyer for a school event calls for strategic use of visual elements to direct viewers' attention and evoke excitement about the upcoming Field Day. Color choice significantly impacts viewer response; bright, vibrant hues like yellow, orange, and red evoke feelings of energy, enthusiasm, and fun, making them ideal for a lively school event. Contrasting text colors against backgrounds enhances readability and draws attention to key information such as date, time, and location. Lines, whether curved or straight, can guide viewers’ eyes across the flyer, emphasizing important details or creating visual pathways that foster engagement. The use of balance—symmetrical or asymmetrical—ensures that the flyer appears cohesive and aesthetically pleasing, persuading viewers to spend more time absorbing information.

Contrast plays a vital role in highlighting crucial elements; for example, bold fonts against lighter backgrounds can effectively emphasize the event's date or call-to-action. Additionally, integrating imagery such as playful icons or photos related to outdoor activities can strengthen the sensory appeal and provide visual cues about the event's nature. The careful arrangement of these elements—balanced and harmonized—can increase the flyer’s visual hierarchy, guiding the viewer’s attention from the most important details to supplementary information.

In the accompanying video presentation, I will demonstrate my flyer and explain the reasons behind each visual choice. I will discuss how the selection of bright colors creates an energetic mood, how contrasting fonts ensure readability, and how strategic use of lines and balance directs attention to critical event information. This approach leverages principles of visual hierarchy and sensory engagement to ensure that the flyer not only attracts attention but also persuades parents to participate actively in the event planning and attendance. The integration of these sensory elements has been carefully chosen to maximize visual impact, evoke enthusiasm, and ultimately promote a successful school event.
