Learn about it!
Nowadays, there are a lot of ways to
do a publication. There is a lot of media to spread information. The fastest
ones are probably through phone calls, text messages, and the internet. But,
how do we spread to those who do not use telecommunication devices? We use
paper! Among some kinds of written publications, there are pamphlets, posters,
and banner. What are the differences?
Pamphlet
The pamphlet is a kind of information
which is written in a piece of paper.
Some pamphlets have pictures and some of them do not have. The information on
pamphlets can be printed on one side of the paper or on both sides. There is
no exact size of a pamphlet. The paper can be folded into two, three or even
five. The idea is to make it easy to carry and to give it to people; also
people can read it anywhere. Even though it can have many pages, a pamphlet
does not like a book. It comes without hardcover or binding. People use
pamphlets to spread news, promote an event, or as an advertisement. Here is the
example of a pamphlet:
Poster
The poster is a kind of pamphlet, but
with a bigger size. It can be written in a fabric or
big size paper. A poster should be big so it is easy for people to see. People
place posters in strategic places. They are usually stuck on the wall. In a
poster, you can see pictures and words although a poster may not contain
graphics. Posters' designs are both eye-catching and informative. People use
posters for many purposes. They are a tool of advertisers for particularly of
events such as musicians and film, or to communicate a message. Here is the
example of a poster:
Banner
A banner is a flag or other piece of
cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other messages. If you happen to see a demonstration, the demonstrators
usually bring banners. According to the Oxford dictionary, the banner is a long piece
of cloth, often stretched between two poles, with a sign written on it, usually
carried by people taking part in a march. But, now we can find the banner in many
places. On the internet, the banner can be used as advertisements that appear
across the top of a web page. The banner can be also in the form of written text. It
is usually a slogan to raise people's awareness of the current issue. It can be also
about the rule that people should obey. Here is the example of a banner:
Keypoints
Pamphlet, poster, and banner can
serve the same purpose. There is no exact rule on how to use three of them. Any
information can be spread through these media. However, if there is much
information, you can use pamphlet. If you want it easy for people to see, use a poster or banner.
