Brochure_Checklist

Hey guys,
Before you continue, make sure you've covered the points below:

1. Your brochure has at least 750 words.
2. You're using one or two typefaces you've used in your postcard.
3. You have the remittance form (content of the form must be realistic - research existing forms to know what should go in your form)
4. You DO have ALL 3 words of your postcard and that you're using them as they are in the postcard or building upon those graphics.
5. Your brochure fits in a standard envelope.

_ Make sure you have a visual appealing cover for your brochure. It can be all type or a mix of type and image/images.

_ Remember to create an effective visual HIERARCHY with type. This is a crucial part of this project, because it will show that you do understand how to display type in your layout and how well you can work with it.
