In AIC at TAMIU, there are bulletin boards that keep students updated on events at the
university. On this bulletin board, at the beginning of Fall 2023 semester, there was a flier advertising
a summer boot camp. Get Phit uses the flyer to invite Tamiu students to join a summer bootcamp
to brush up their academic skills, by using these 5 conventions to achieve their purpose. The 4
conventions are the title, the date and locations, the short paragraph excerpt, and the qr code,
and the demographic.Great introduction! Gets to the point and has a clear message!
The title on the flier is on the very top with a big statement which of course says “get phit
summer bootcamp in person and online". The title may catch off guard because of the way it's worded.
Phit is not a very common word you see everyday. What Phit conveys is it attracts the audience to want
to know more about why it's worded and what Phit means, phit means “Gaining Equity in Training for
Public Health Informatics and Technology”. Right under Get Phit a large text is shown that says “Summer
Bootcamp”, right away that attracts the reader to want to know more about what this bootcamp is about
and what the activities they will brush on during the summer, as in how summer is usually a break from
academics.
Right next to the title on the right is a colorful demographic that exclaims “ Boot Camp”, which
tells the audience right as they look at it that the flier is for a “Boot Camp” and the author makes it
known by putting it right next to the title in a different text font and in a different text color, so the text
pops out. Above the title in black with a white background it states “Texas A&M International University”
the white background with a text that says “Texas A&M International University” makes it very known
who the fliers author is, and who the intended audience is.
On the right side of the flier the dates and locations are located in columns. With the dates being
in columns it organizes the information and it makes the information more accessible to the reader. This
text in columns is the only text on the flier which is in a different color, this catches the reader's attention
and draws them to the conclusion what's so important about this information that it has to be in a
different color. The dates on the flier go in chronological order (up to down). The flier dates go from "
Monday June 5 - Friday, June 16" to "Monday, June 12 - Friday, June 23" as it states in the flier. With each
in person date comes the location of where its being held at. " Monday June 5 - Friday, June 16" is being
held in “The University of El Paso '' and the "Monday, June 12 - Friday, June 23 program is being held at
“The University of Arlington”. The eight week program is held at home as it is not in person it is online
but the dates consist of “Monday, June 26- Friday, August 18”. The columns of the information on the
dates and locations of the online and in person programs are separated, the online dates and time are
on the bottom with a heading that states “Online” in bright yellow, and the inperson information is
stated on the top with a heading that states “In Person”
 On the left side information is put into short excerpts, this is the last thing the reader will read as
in how the short excerpt is a good chunk of information of what the summer bootcamp is about.
The heading of the body paragraphs are “In person 2 Weeks” and “Online 8 Weeks” ; these headings
bring attention to them as they are typed in bold. Each short excerpt explains what will be happening in
the time span of the summer bootcamp.
The flier states 2 qr codes on the bottom. This convention makes it easier and faster to find more
information about the program, especially with class going on. You can pass by and snap the qr code and
the information is on your phone in an instant. The qr code is located on the bottom in its own section so
after the audience is done reading the flier it ends with the qr code to either “sign up” or “more
information” website to learn more about the program. With the qr code being used it makes it easy to
find more information as in how this generation is all about technology.
In conclusion, this flier which was found in AIC at TAMIU on a bulletin board keeps students
refreshed on their academic skills by inviting them to a summer boot camp during the summer after
spring 2023 semester. It attracts them to join the summer program, by using the 5 conventions which are
the qr code, the short paragraph excerpts, the date and location, the title, and the demographic.

Very well written
