Journeyworks Publishing's set of teen physical activity and health pamphlets are attractive, fact filled, and culturally sensitive representations that inform the reader about the positive effects of physical activity on one's overall health. Journeyworks is known for designing materials in a professional manner that integrate text and graphics to affectively convey its message to a targeted audience. These pamphlets are no exception.

 

The pamphlets in this set that use numeric lists (25 ways and 21 easy ways) are the most effectively designed pamphlets of the Journeyworks series. Each numbered point is easily distinguishable, and associated information is easily read. Journeyworks achieves this goal by using subtle changes in font and color. These pamphlets also have adequate white space and few large blocks of text.

 

Journeyworks pamphlets for physical activity are pertinent given the current diet trend in the United States, including popular low-carb diets and fast food chains offering "healthy" alternatives. This adds to the importance of physical activity and health pamphlets, such as Journeyworks', so that young adults can understand dieting. Teens need to know that not all diets are safe and that they should seek information on proper dieting habits and consult a physician before starting any diet.

 

If you have reviewed or used Journeyworks pamphlets in the past, you will surely be pleased with this new set. These pamphlets are the best I have seen from Journeyworks. If you have not done so already, I suggest you contact Journeyworks and request copies for review. Journeyworks Publishing provides complimentary review copies of any of their pamphlets by calling 1-800-775-1998.
