Editor's Notes
- Chris wore a fuchsia tie/cummerbund to match dateEWE notorious shoe collectionLayla has an entire closet to house her accessories. Don’t judge.
- Dress the Part = Be what you are. The Bencher isn’t a newsletter, but it’s designed like one, and much of its front-of-the-book content is written for one.

- No Pleats = Be timely. Be current. Be relevant.

- Dry Clean Only = Watch out for clutter. This is a great topic, but the layout is dense – and the extra line spacing between paragraphs is distracting. Go for clean and sharp. (NOTE: This is a great topic that would have been a great choice for the cover story.)

- The New Black = Don’t underestimate your audience. Try new things all the time – like this piece of fiction – but when you do, make a big deal about it. Don’t hide it in the back of the book.

- What it does right: Timely information on their conference, incorporates Twitter feed, personalized message from the presidentWhat it can do better: Eye doesn’t have a place to land, competing fonts/sizes, nothing here screams office assistant or showcases their importance, not all that obvious that this is a division site (gets lost in the image). Also, “Making the leap to remarkable” gets prime real estate but does anyone know what it’s about?
- In red is what gets cut off w/o scrolling. This page is too long, too many columns. Treat the home page as a table of contents to move people to appropriate places. The only image is at the very bottom
- What makes this a regional division? Use compelling, illustrative imageryPick a font and stick with it. Create standard styles for headlines, link colors, etc.
- Timely twitter feed, but it’s nearly pushed below the fold. This is the most current info but is barely on screen!
- Too many competing fonts, colors, sizes. Also, why link to hotels only? Why not link to more info on the actual meeting details?
- Too many competing fonts, colors, sizes. Also, why link to hotels only? Why not link to more info on the actual meeting details?
- Does this look like a place for vibrant networking? No idea what kind of conversations are going on or how to take part. Too sterile. Also, make it clear these are only accessible via login instead of clicking to find a roadblock.
- Accessorize! = Use the variety of your reader/member experiences to tell stories – in the process giving your content some personality.
- Consider a listing of events instead of a desolate calendar view if you don’t have a ton of meetings each month. Avoid looking like there’s not much going on!
- Great job – this is timely, relevant stuff. Engaged audience is commenting, they are using appropriate hash tags. To do better – shorten those urls to be able to fit in more content

- Wow, this is a long Twitter handle! They’ve already used up 13 characters out of 122 in their name alone. Consider a shorter name, and one that is easier to spell (note difference between dashes and underlines between state abbreviations)
- As noted earlier, if this is a critical piece of marketing, then it need to be further explained as to how it ties into the organization and the division.
