Emails

I couldnt find many interesting leaflets for the topics i chosen, so i thought i would try emailing different companies to see if they would have any on file that they would send me

This is what i sent to them:

I am a graphic design student from central beds college and for my current brief I am working with an eco farm and just working on some advertisement.

I am looking at making a leaflet for renewable energy for the adults that visit the eco farm to look at. I find this topic interesting as I studied it at school and would like to help the environment.

I was just wondering if it would be possible If you could send me any of your leaflets or anything to help me along with this project, as your company has jumped out at me the most.

Many thanks,

Mia Lewis

i sent it to 5 different companies:

Ecotricity

Action for renewables

Renewable UK

Good energy

Green Peace

I got a reply from Good Energy and they are sending me some leaflets, which i will show later in this project, they also gave me a link to the design agency that they use, which is really interesting to look at and see how they have developed their designs further. http://www.studiomakgill.com/work/good_energy
Leaflets 

 this is one side to the first leaflet, i like how they haev the photo bleeding across two pages. on the front page they only have the type very small, so it is not covering the photo. on the back they have a send off form as well.

this is the other side to the first leaflet. it holds a lot of infomation in, but it is all spaced out very neatly, and the headings are large enough, and makes you want to read it because it looks like theres not a lot there. 

this is the second leaflet. its front and back cover are both yellow with very little text on it, although the front cover has a cut out of water/waves. when you open it up, it folds out and has the wave picture running across two pages. then it has an infomation booklet inside this. there is a big picture on each double spread page, with only a little bit of infoation. This makes it easy to read, and makes you want to read it.
i like how they have the cut out of their logo on the front in big, and also having a background behind the cut out draws your eye to it more, and at first you wonder what it is, which makes you want to open it up . also it is all in yellow, none of it is green, which shows how the colour green isnt the only 'eco'.
i dont think i could change anything about this becuase it is such a good leaflet, the only thing is it might be too big for someone to keep in their pocket, and if they saw it agasint other leaflets, it might not be one to stand out the most.
