Article: A brochure targeted towards children, for example, looks much different than one advertising to adults. Aspects like color, language, images used, and even the layout design will vary depending on the audience. For example, in a brochure about museum events for children, bright colors, cartoon characters, and cool images like a T. Rex skeleton are appealing. Let's say you decide to make a brochure about a business seminar. The front page could announce the event with a title and date. The remaining pages could describe the event, including the speakers, their credentials, and their profile photos. Ask yourself why you're making the brochure and what you need your target audience to know. All brochures are a call to action. The goal is to get the audience to do something, whether that's attending an event, buying a product, or learning something new. This purpose needs to be the central focus of the brochure. For example, you decide to make a brochure promoting tourism in your city. The front page says, "Explore Cleveland" in big letters, letting the reader know exactly what the brochure is for. If you're designing a brochure for someone else, ask them what they want the brochure to accomplish. Understanding their vision allows you to customize the brochure to fit their cause. The format you choose determines how the brochure folds. Consider which format is best for conveying the brochure information in a clear and accessible way. View various templates and experiment with them to find out what works for your project. The most common choice is a classic tri-fold design, where the paper is folded twice to create 3 panels per side. Tri-fold brochures are inexpensive and able to fit in envelopes. Some brochures fold in half or accordion-style into 4 to 6 panels. Others have 2 front flaps that open like a gate. Many of these alternative formats are better for open spread presentations than mailing purposes. Open your favorite design program and use its settings menu to select a brochure template. Programs like Adobe InDesign or Photoshop have lots of different tools and layouts that will help you turn that template into the perfect brochure. For a free option, use a program like Microsoft Word or Adobe Spark. Working from a template simplifies the design process. Many design programs have templates that put some text and image boxes in automatically. If you don't find one you like, try searching online for example templates to borrow.

Article: If you haven't purchased a mattress in a while, it's good to see what options are available before going to a store. Check prices online to see what you feel is reasonable based on what is being offered. Mattress brands are often coming out with new styles of mattresses including ones that offer adjustable firmness levels and temperatures. Decide how high-tech you want your mattress to be, as some of these may only be available at specialty stores or online. Look up what special features may be offered by each mattress brand including a trial period or money-back guarantee. If desired, you can print this information to bring to the store with you. Although this is difficult to determine without first testing mattresses, a few physical factors can help direct your decision. If you have back problems, consider a medium-firm to firm mattress choice. These are best for supporting your lower back and reducing back pain. Pillow-top mattresses are best for people who aren't too light, as they won't have enough weight to suppress the top and the springs to a point that it makes a difference in comfort. Larger people typically find pillow-top mattresses more comfortable for this reason. Ignore the spring count that is given as proof for a mattress' supposed quality and firmness or softness. Studies have shown that the number of springs doesn't actually affect how comfortable the mattress is. Nothing is worse than finding and purchasing your perfect mattress, just to realize you can't fit it in your house. Check your space availability in your bedroom, and then decide on a size of mattress to fit. Twin mattresses are the smallest size, and measure on average 39"/75". The next largest size after a twin mattress is a full or double mattress, which measures at 54"/75". The queen sized mattress is the most commonly purchased by couples for its size and relative price. It measures at 60"/80". King size bed is the largest standard sized mattress available. It is 76"/80". Some mattress brands and stores offer an extra large bed called the California king, which measures at 72"/84". Be sure the mattress size you intend to purchase not only fits inside your bedroom, but also through all doors used to enter the room. Typically, specialty mattress stores will have more informed salespeople and information on mattresses than a generic furniture store. Be sure that where you choose to buy has a good reputation and helpful employees.

Article: There are a few basic parts of the extension ladder that you should be familiar with before you attempt to use it. Here are the most important: The safety shoe or foot of the ladder consists of the pads that are designed to be in contact with the ground when the ladder is in use. These typically will swivel or rotate slightly in order to be make better contact with the surface the ladder is on. The fly section is the portion of the extension ladder that will be extended upward. This is the portion that you will climb as you get closer to the top. Additionally, it should be noted that some extension ladders have a two-part fly (and three primary ladder components in total). The base section is the portion of the extension ladder that will remain in place. When you begin to climb the ladder, you will start out on the rungs of this section. The rung lock is attached to the fly and is used to keep the fly in place by fitting over the top of a rung of the base or fly section underneath. It will essentially act as a bracket, and the fly will not be able to slide down after weight if put on it. The rope and pulley are used to extend the largest of extension ladders. Smaller ladders do not have this component, but larger ones are essentially unusable if this is broken. Serious injuries resulting from the use (or misuse) of extension ladders are so common that they have developed a bit of a reputation. Knowing how they earned that reputation--and how those accidents could have been prevented-- can help you stay safe. Extension ladders typically only have two points of contact with the ground. Some varieties of smaller ladders fold out to create four separate points of contact with the ground. Extension ladders typically have nothing other than the "feet" or "shoes" on the two side rails. Consequently, they can be a bit unstable. Extension ladders are among the tallest available in retail sales outlets. It is not merely that their height makes for longer falls (though that is true as well). Instead, the height only accentuates the preexisting instability issues. Think of the ladder as a lever. When you climb the ladder, the weight is actually moved closer to the end of the lever. People commonly misuse extension ladders. Because of their instability issues, there are certain precautions that must be taken. First, two people must be involved in the use of the ladder. When one person climbs, another must be available to "foot" the ladder (hold it in place). Secondly, the ladder cannot be used a vertical or near-vertical angles. Instead, they must bed tilted or leaned on to another object for support as a person climbs to the top (more on this in a moment). This will minimize the "leverage" issue previously noted.

Familiarize yourself with the parts of the extension ladder. Understand why extension ladders are considered dangerous.
