Why This Note is Effective
1. Clear Subject Line: The subject line makes the purpose of
the note obvious, drawing attention and encouraging readers
to open it.
2. Key Information is Organized: Event details, the agenda,
and preparation guidelines are each presented in their own
sections. This layout allows readers to easily find the
information they need.
3. Easy-to-Read Format: The use of bullet points, bolded
headers, and spacing keeps the document organized and easy
to read.
4. Encourages Action: By setting an RSVP date and contact
information, the note encourages readers to take the next
step and reach out with questions.
5. Friendly and Motivational Tone: The positive, encouraging
tone builds enthusiasm and reinforces the organization’s
mission, making readers feel included and motivated to
participate.

Question 3: Choose a page that is difficult to read

and discuss the elements that make the page
design poor. Then redesign the layout of the page.

Invitation for the Community Urban Cleanup Event

Hello Team,

We’re organizing a community event, and you’re invited! This event

is part of Green Future's efforts to improve the environment and
bring the community together. It will take place at Riverside Park on
November 18, starting at 9:00 AM and ending around 1:00 PM. The
event will involve a cleanup activity where we’ll be picking up litter
and helping keep our local parks clean and beautiful.

 Agenda:
Arrival and Sign-in at 9:00 AM, then we’ll split into groups and
start the cleanup. There will be a short break around 11:30
AM, where snacks will be provided, and then we’ll continue
with more cleanup until we wrap up around 1:00 PM. We will
provide gloves and trash bags. We recommend you bring a
reusable water bottle, comfortable shoes, and sun protection.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions or need more

information, and please RSVP by November 10 if you plan to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Best,
GreenFuture

Why This Document Design is Poor

1.Lack of Clear Structure: The information is presented in a
dense paragraph without any subheadings, making it hard to locate
specific details. There is no visual hierarchy, so readers have to scan
through all text to find key points.

2.Inconsistent Formatting: The single paragraph format with one

inline bullet point creates a cluttered look. Key details like date,
time, location, and RSVP deadline are buried within the paragraph,
making it easy to overlook them.
3.Difficult-to-Read Layout: The lack of white space between
different sections gives a crowded appearance. This makes the
document feel overwhelming and hard to navigate.
4.Lack of Emphasis on Important Details: No information is
bolded or highlighted, so crucial details like the RSVP deadline and
contact information do not stand out.
5.No Call to Action or Readable Ending: There is no specific CTA
or final section, making the ending feel abrupt and leaving the
reader unclear about next steps.
Redesigned Layout for Improved Readability
