Here’s a description of the flyer: The flyer is colorful and visually, promoting a series of events titled "Reconnect and Chill" hosted by the Substance and Addiction Intervention Services for the Deaf at RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf. The top left section has a light beige background with bold black text for the title and includes a graphic of a notebook, apple, heart, and green water bottle. Next to it, the top right features a bright orange background with white hand-lettered text encouraging students to “take a break from your dorm and join us for the fun!” The middle row is split into two squares: the left square, labeled "August 27th – Get to Know Us", has a yellow background and a photo of five staff members in black shirts and casual pants, while the right square, labeled "September 24th – Corn Hole Game", has a light beige background and a simple black corn hole graphic. The bottom left repeats the beige background with text about mocktails and health-themed graphics like a water bottle, apple, and a 2.0 kg dumbbell. The bottom right section, promoting "October 29th – Coloring Day", uses a lavender-purple background and includes images of coloring pages and colorful designs. The RIT/NTID logo and department name appear in orange and black at the bottom. The overall design uses bold fonts and a cheerful palette to create an inviting and inclusive vibe.
