I rarely do reviews so I am an amateur in this. Anyway…
A new breath to the usual boring noticeboard. A slight change in the layout, not a bad one though. Like I said, it is a fresh breeze on a hot summer day. The use of the picture of Transformer is a real success, it grabs the attention of Transformer fans and others alike. A nice blend of informations from different genres (culture, automobile, entertainment, education, etc.), providing something for everyone, which meets the objective of having a noticeboard. Effective use of pictures to capture readers’ attention (Most youths are more attracted to graphics than words.). A very strong portrayal of personal writing style, not a bad thing to be unique in this field.
However, a few suggestions and things to take note:
1. Typing/ Grammatical error
a) “Show Your Moves” – Last sentence: “Entry closes on Deadline? June 23.”
*You are a smart guy. I don’t think I need to point out what is wrong here.
b) “College Shopping” – “Featuring local and foreign course providers, representative will be
all out…studying abroad.”
*It should be “representatives“
2. Language
Compared to the other informations on the notice board which uses a rather formal way of reporting, the catchy language used in “Japanese GT” seems a bit out of place. Not to say that it is a bad thing but it will be better to have a balance in the way the language is presented.
3. Layout
Again, it is about balance. “Flash cash?” is a bit too small and could be easily ignored (Like I did.). Just a little bit bigger would be perfect.
Overall, I see a lot of effort has been put in it. Bravo and job well done in such short notice. Quoting Miss Anne (My literature lecturer): “Shows promise!”. Of course, there is a large room for improvement. So, keep it up!
