To me, advocacy means how you communicate your beliefs to others. You can be an advocate of your beliefs without stating them directly. If you ask a friend to go to a specific community service event your friend will see that you are interested in that affiliation and they will understand your belief. I collected a few items from around campus and from Atlantic City.

            One handout was advertising the event, “Light it up Blue.” It is advertised on a light blue paper with the save the date, contact information, and a statement that says, “Walk to raise awareness about Autism.” I believe they are successful because they keep it simple, they linked the title to the color of the paper, and they put in bold what the event is.

            A brochure I got from the Tropicana was advocating for a bunch of different events and restaurants. It was in color and listed all of the places you could dine, party, relax, shop, or go for entertainment. It also advertised beer week, daily specials at specific restaurants, and what special events are coming up soon. I think this brochure was very good at advocating. It had a lot of information, but was designed well and clean.
