For years, video games have always been devalued and misunderstood. Parents, guardians, care takers, etc have all implemented in their minds that video games courrupt their children and that there’s no good coming from video games. With the new generation of kids playing video games and growing older I would like to make them understand the positives and even some cons that come from gaming so they understand what gaming can do to them.  For this unit my focus is to teach the kids and even the teens and adults that play video games how beneficial it is. The genre I decided to go with was leaflet. A leaflet has all the information needed all in a small form factor, that is easy to read, very straight forward, easy to hand out and pass around and also since the average attention span of a human is 8 seconds, it should be well enough to grab the readers attention within those 8 seconds and since its so small and is packed with useful information, the reader will almost feel obligated to continue reading till its done. I will also have playful graphics from common games and a meme on it to better appeal to the younger and older audience. I plan to get started by researching a bit more about colors, patterns that stick out the most so it eye grabs the audience. Also what words and pictures stick out the most especially since its all condensed in a small form factor. After that I will research more relevant and useful information that I believe the children and teens would relate to and understand. Then I will create an outline and try to condense a lot of important and key information into it. Im only concerned that the audience would misinterpret the positives and use that as an excuse to play video games for longer than they allowed to.
