The message from the Ranger Naturalist Service pamphlet is an invitation by the agency to people to become interested in participating in the activities and events proposed by them in Lassen Volcanic National Park. In fact, the pamphlet, aside from showing what the picture refers to, whose ad it is, and what agencies are behind this institution and the entire list of services, makes an open invitation, almost like a temptation, for tourists to choose to visit the Park under the Ranger Naturalist Service guide. Although the pamphlet attempts to portray an attractive, and interesting site, and wishes to generate a desire in the public so that tourists will sign on with them, the colors used, and the picture of the active volcano, rather sends a threatening message to the public, almost like showing a place where nature can be dangerous. Also, the color scheme used, to me, does not help to convey the appropriate message.

In media like this one, where the attempt is to invite people, interest them in services offered, I think that coloring, and especially pictures, become really important. So the colors, to me, should have been more natural, and it would have been important to use a picture of a volcano that is not spewing up ash and cinder into the sky. These things, aside from titles, and words used, convey messages much faster than anything else.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
