Analysing a leaflet  21/3/25

What is it about?

This leaflet is advertising a visit to the Thanet coast.  It contains lots of information talking about what to expect and also the different offers for example if you go to the Thanet coast, it gives you an insight on what to expect whilst you're visiting.  It also gives another insight as well on what to expect at the Thanet's heritage as well for example what to do there and what to also expect whilst there too.

Who is the target audience?

The target audience is essentially for people who are interested in these sorts of activities for example, anyone who enjoys going up the coast and being near the sea.  It's also targeted for people of all ages as well as there are some young children who may also enjoy being near the coast and some things they may enjoy are things like for example in the section where it talks about exploring and discovering the Thanet's heritage, it mentions a train ride and that may also be something that young kids enjoy as well.

What kind of tone is it?

The tone that's used here is informative as it is informing members of the public of what to expect on their visit and it also talks about what to see whilst you are there too.  It also wants to provide as much information as possible so that you know what will be there when you do go.  It is also generally very helpful as well as it is sharing lots of information about what to do.

Type style

 The type style is clear even though its not in bold, it is still clear enough for anyone who's interested in this for them to read.  It's also not so bright that it's in bold letters, it is still clear enough for them to read and therefore the typography that's been used here is visible for anyone to read.

What colour scheme is it?

The colour scheme is quite simple as it reflects the mood of the leaflet and it is also very nice and vibrant which makes it interesting for the audience and it's also not too overcomplicated which is good for the audience as well.  The colours are also very consistent and this also makes it nice as well as it clearly reflects on what's being said as well.

Decorations

There are very little decorations which is good because sometimes with leaflets, it doesn't always have to look so fancy it can have colour to make it look more vibrant and attractive but it doesn't always have to look so fancy although it can sometimes but not all the time.  By having leaflets that look simple this shows that it is reflecting the mood and this is also good as well for the audience too.  For example this leaflet looks simple as it has some bullet points to keep every point simple and its also not too confusing as well.  The borders also look neat as well.

Hierarchy

The hierarchy is also quite clear as well as the arrangement clearly shows that everything is quite spread out and one thing that I really like about the hierarchy is where for example the section where it mentions the visit to the Thanet coast is showing it is important because of the colours and it also talks about what to expect whilst you're there and this is important because it is sending out important information for the visitors as well.

Captions

The captions are quite handy as well because they are there to tell the audience about what to expect and the main reason why captions are also put up is to show and make sure that they are also clear enough for the audience as well.  This will be significant as it stands out to the audience and it will also be very helpful to them as well for example if they miss something out for example so it will really benefit them as well.

In my opinion I have to say I really like the colours and images as they show that they really advertise the leaflet well and it will also attract the viewers and also members of the public as well.  For example if they look at it, they will be quite surprised and it will also make them want to go to Thanet coast as well.  One other thing that I really like is that even though it has a limited amount of information and it all makes sense as well which is also good and is to the point as well.

This is an image of a frog and tadpole I found on the internet.  This shows how a tadpole turns into a frog and the different stages and elements it would go through just like any animal would go through different stages when it grows, a tadpole would also turn into a frog.  Here are the different stages of how a frog transforms into a tadpole.  Frogs are usually quite strong animal athletes with very strong powerful legs that generally would allow them to leap out of harm's way.  With their powerful limbs, which is a secret to their success and this usually takes about baby frogs weeks and weeks to grow them as well.  Like butterflies, frogs and toads usually undergo.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF NATURE

MAGAZINE

Hello and welcome to the world of nature.  In this magazine,  I will be exploring range of nature topics. 

In this issue,  we will show the transformation of a tadpole to a frog. 

To illustrate this, here is a visual graphic showing the life cycle of a frog:

This image shows the metamorphosis of a tadpole to a frog.

TRANSFORMATION

1. A frog begins its life as an egg which is also known as frogspawn.  Frogspawn are usually laid in the water.

2. At the next stage, we have what’s called hatching.  This image shows how the eggs would hatch into tadpoles which are known as aquatic larvae.

3. The aquatic larvae develops into a tadpole.  Tadpoles breathe using gills and have a long tail and spend most of their time swimming or eating.  As the tadpole grows, it develops a stronger tail and grows legs.  The gills are also replaced by lungs at this stage.

4. The tadpoles would gradually begin to grow legs which is known as leg development.  The growth begins in the rear legs and then the front legs form.

5. Next, the tadpole’s tail is absorbed into its body. It transforms from a tadpole into a froglet, breathing more through its lungs rather than its gills.

6. Eventually, the froglet becomes a fully developed adult frog without a tail and would breathe solely through its lungs.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF NATURE

Magazine

Hello and welcome to the World of Nature.  In this magazine,  we will be exploring a range of nature topics. 

In this issue,  we will have a special feature on transformation and will be learning about this process through the life cycle of a frog.

[Page 1]

So how does it all begin? [Frogspawn/ Egg stage]

A frog begins its life as an egg (this is also known as frogspawn). 

Frogspawn are usually laid in clusters in the water by the female frog during a period of several days to a few weeks depending on temperature.

Frogspawn look like tiny black dots (embryos) surrounded by a jelly-like substance.

How does the egg develop? [Tadpole/ Larval stage]

After the frogspawn develop in the water, hatching takes place after a period of 1 to 3 weeks.  The newly-hatched tadpoles have gills, a long tail and no legs. They feed on algae and plant material.

As the tadpoles get bigger in size, they develop a tail remnant and begin to grow hind limbs. At this stage, the tadpoles use their gills for breathing.

What happens to the tadpole next? [Froglet/ Metamorphic stage]

During the metamorphic stage, the tadpole develops a stronger tail and fully formed hind and front legs.

Instead of using their gills to breathe, they begun using their lungs.

Their diet also changes and they switch from being herbivores (eating algae/plant material) to carnivores (eating small insects).

During this stage, the tadpole has transformed into a froglet.

[Page 4]

When does a froglet become an adult frog?

After 14 weeks, the froglet becomes an adult frog! Its body has formed fully and it no longer has a tail.

It has an amphibious habitat - which means it lives in both the water and on land. The diet of an adult frog includes: insects, worms and other small creatures.

This is just some additional research that I did myself from some magazines I have at home.  I looked through some of them to pick out some of the animals and environment nature articles that I feel have a similar idea to what I want my one to be like.  One thing I noticed is that the text is going down in columns and even though it does look like it's going across, whoever's written these articles have maintained the layout quite well and in addition to this have also been able to make it look quite neat as well.
