What is a pamphlet for? In the first year of this GP program, we made a simple pamphlet to introduce our challenging activities, and next year, we made one to get new members to join us focusing on freshmen. Finally this year, we made a pamphlet to show our full three years’ activities and encourage other students to try to do similar activities. We wanted to create our last pamphlet in a student-centered way, so we had a lot of student meetings to plan, do interviews and design it. The concept of the pamphlet is to show our activities in three years from the past to the present and even into the future. The entire design is a colorful collage book. The reason why we wanted to make it in a collage style is that we thought a collage style book would be good to attract the interest of other students and professors, and also it would be good for us to enjoy looking back on the memories of GP after this program finished. I’ll explain our process to make the pamphlet. First, we divided into two teams: interview and design. For a while, although two groups worked separately, one day we noticed that way is difficult to communicate with each group, and inefficient. Therefore, the two groups started working together. As for design, first we were confronted with the difficulty of using Photoshop. We taught each other how to use the program and overcame that problem. The next difficulty was a very limited time to complete it. There was not enough time to work on it, so we had to cooperate and help each other. Especially during exam week, we all were busy every day, so we took turns to work on editing using Photoshop.
