Interdisciplinary

Publications and Decorating Spaces / Inside the Fashion Industry will jointly research a color (using the categories listed below) and create a brochure or write a feature story on their findings. Students will be using the Internet to research and PageMaker to create their project. Find pictures to use as backgrounds or to display on your brochure that depict the message you are trying to convey. An example would be using an ocean to show calmness with the color blue.

Be sure to use the following:

1. Borders around pictures.
2. Format bullets.
3. Draw --> AutoShapes
4. No more than 3 different font families.
5. Text should be easy to read and the overall appearance of your brochure should be professional.

Use all concepts taught in the following tutorials:

Brochure Design Tips

Tips to keep in mind when designing your brochure!

Use color to focus attention on your main points and to improve the perception
of quality.
Avoid trying to jam too much information into a small space. In good brochure
design, less is more.
Don’t overlook the value of white space to bring a clean look to your
design and to help accentuate key points.
For readability, consider using a serif type for body copy. Studies have
shown that serif type is easier to read. Sans serif type is good for
headlines and subheads.
Limit the number of font families you use. Don't use more than 3 font families
in your brochure project.
