What you must bring to class right after the break_3/22

Spring break will be a good time to gather all written information you'll need in your brochure. You can copy and paste it from the landmark's or tourist attraction's website and also create your own copy to complement it, if necessary.

Remember that you have to have at least 5 sections (About us, Annual events, Why contribute, etc). See post "Brochure_checklist" and assignment sheet)

Also, after the break you'll need to bring a full size dummy/mock-up with your final layout "indications". In other words, you'll need to indicate with simple lines how text is going to look like in your brochure - number of columns, column width, height, where the 3 words are going to be located and how, etc. It must look like something like this:


However, your layout must be indicated in a full size dummy of your brochure NOT sketched in a flat piece of paper. We must be able to hold your brochure in our hands and "experience" how it is going to be folded, how text is going to behave, etc.
