Breif:

1. organization name: KU Rock Climbing Club

2. mission statement: To practice safe, fun, rock-climbing and to meet great new friends while enjoying life outdoors.


3. details: KURC meets monday and thursday nights at the climbing wall in the Rec Center at 8:30 pm. Meetings are a time for club members to learn new techniques and skills. Rock climbing is not only a great way to get into shape, but it is also a place to socialize and create friendships. It is simple to join. All you have to do is show up to the first meeting and pay either $40 for indoor climbing or $70 to go on trips outdoors including spring break to Las Vegas and Utah. No prior knowledge or skills are required, only a strong interest and will.

4. Who is the audience?

Persona o1: seasoned KURC member: adventurous, outdoorsy, rowdy, loud, intense, strong mentally and physically, brave, friendly, up for a challenge, serious, skilled, poetic, smooth, wears jeans, brings own climbing gear, knows the names of the gear

Persona o2: perspective KURC member: shy, new, unskilled, frustrated, confused, happy, friendly, weak, nervous, afraid of heights, not particularly adventurous, wears work out gear, rents gear, doesn't know how to belay

5. Where do you find these people? KURC members are from all over the KU spectrum. There are a lot of science majors, a few art (2-3), business, engineering, everywhere! A good location would be the Rec center because these people like to get physical! Also maybe the tennis courts, swimming pool, student athletes hang out spots, dorms, faculty offices, bulletin boards.

I was a new member at the beginning of the semester so i want to create a poster that will really appeal to perspective KURC members. I want it to be less intimidating and friendly. The group IS REALLY open so the poster should reflect that and emphasis that you need NO prior knowledge.


The next poster will be more intense and appeal to the current members and people who have more experience. This poster will appeal to them and make them want to join the club because the members are serious about climbing and are there to improve, while teaching and having fun.
