Mr Lube Flyer



The conversion of this flyer is okay.  I don't love the presentation of the flyer but it does have its good and bad points.  The flyer does make it clear that there is no appointment needed and gives the information that is needed.  I think the layout of the flyer does work with the coupons being on the bottom so it makes it easy to cut out and not destroy the flyer.  I think the graphics could be better they could have used more effective ones showing the before and after of the car (dirty-clean).  I also think they shouldn't have used the same picture on the front and on the back they maybe should have changed it up or put no picture on the back keeping it clean and neater.  The graphics about car maintenance I think are helpful and just give you a visual of what is all done.  I do like that the text is all the same font pretty much and all goes together.  I also like how they make the important stuff bold and make the words jump out on the page with the choice of color.  I overall think it is effective as it gives all the information needed, I just think the use of graphics could have been done better.

Teen's profane tweet about starting a new job gets her fired before the 1st day








After reading this article I wasn't really surprised, just couldn't believe how the owner found the tweet surprised me.  Sometimes when you are angry or upset you say something without thinking and I guess this girl did it too but instead of just saying it she tweeted it.  This tweet really made me think how you have to really think before just writing something down especially on the internet for all to see.  Its one thing to say or think something but to actually right it down is different.  I don't think its better or worse, just that if you say something or just think it its easily forgotten by others than if you say it in an electronically when its there permanently even if you delete it.  I think that its not fair how electronic mistakes are judged more than others, because somethings we can say things or do things even worse.  But unfortunately they are judged more because they are on the internet for everyone to read and judge, so that's why you have to be careful what you say and do on the internet.  I am glad that this tweet got known to everyone so it can teach people to think before you tweet or even say something.
