Brochure Ideas

          As college students, we tend to have fairly similar interests and habits. I decided college students tend to think a lot about food, entertainment, and our cellphones. I know I do. I love to go out to restaurants with my friends for tasty drinks and food and its always a nice way to socialize with friends, family, or to get to know somebody new. Also as college students, we live for our weekends and actually any free time we can find between work and school. Most college students like to go out and have a good time so it's important to know our options of entertainment that surrounds us. Our cellphones have become a big part of our lives. In today's society, cellphones have become the preferred means of communication. These devices have become such a big part of living, we tend to forget how quickly one can cause us to lose our life from texting and driving. A brochure displaying any of these topics can be very effective and useful to college students
           
            The west side is a walk away from Buffalo State. The west side is full of diverse cultures. Students should be aware of the different restaurants around the west side, especially because it’s so close to their school.  Food is major aspect of culture. Many immigrants have come to the west side, sharing the taste of their culture. It's important as young adults to be adventurous, and experimenting with food is a great way to start. The west side food ranges from Burmese to Ethiopian, Japanese to Thai. Society is constantly reminding people that understanding culture is important in America because we are such a diverse country. A brochure describing the foods of different cultures offered at restaurants along Grant Street is a great way to promote the local businesses and gain awareness to the public, specifically the students at Buffalo State.

            Many people who are not from Buffalo are not aware of the great things this city has to offer. A brochure suggesting to the public the activities and entertainment that Buffalo offers would be greatly beneficial to the residents and to people that are new to the area. Buffalo and the outskirts of the city is a very scenic area, full of parks and trails for hiking and biking. Many people don't realize the waterfalls, wildlife, and views that parks around Buffalo offer. Buffalo also has a great music scene. Live music can be found all around Buffalo every day of the week, whether its concerts by famous performers or local bands putting on a show. Buffalo is very famous for great food. Listing restaurants that has great reviews would be very convenient in a brochure full of Buffalo entertainment. There are also many festivals, comedy shows, tap houses with Buffalo brewed beer, etc. throughout Buffalo.

            Texting and driving has become a major problem within the last few years. Many lives have been taken and destroyed due to the careless urge to have to text while driving. Although, society is aware of the consequences and understands it’s an issue, texting and driving is still happening more than ever. Texting has become such a normal aspect in day-to-day life, it has caused people to be addicted and feel the constant need to check their phones, even behind the wheel. A brochure is just another constant reminder, but it doesn't hurt. In fact, a brochure sharing real life stories of accidents and deaths caused by a single text message could be affective. Whether or not it influences them to completely stop texting while driving, it will definitely get readers to consider when picking up their phone while behind the wheel. Statistics gets people thinking because it shows the true reality of the issue.

            Any of these brochure topics would speak to college students and more importantly catch the attention of students. They’re current to society's interests. I believe young adults would enjoy experiments food of different cultures. Also, young adults love to keep entertained. Lastly, college students can always use a fresh reminder to stop texting and driving.
